📚 Review: Never Go Back by Lee Child
Lee Child was born in Coventry, England — but it’s easy to forget that when you read Never Go Back. Everything about Jack Reacher is unmistakably American: from the coffee he drinks in roadside diners to the way he handles injustice with a calm fist and zero hesitation.
In this 2012 novel, Reacher returns to his old military base to finally meet Major Susan Turner — only to discover that she's been arrested, and he's suddenly facing charges himself. As always, the plot unravels with military precision, short chapters, and a strong sense of rhythm. You don’t read Reacher novels — you move through them, like Reacher himself, with minimal baggage and a strong stride.
Child's prose is lean, dry, and deceptively simple. He doesn’t waste words — just like Reacher doesn’t waste moves. And yet, in that spare style lies the tension. The pace. The clarity.
This isn’t just a thriller — it’s a quiet study of power, justice, and loyalty in a world where systems fail and people take justice into their own hands. And even though it’s fiction, Never Go Back feels like a story that could happen tomorrow in some dusty corner of America.
A British author. An American hero. A global bestseller. Book
