Never Go Back is the eighteenth book in the Jack Reacher series written by Lee Child.[1] It was published on 3 September 2013 in the United States.[2] The book continues the storyline covered in the novels 61 Hours, Worth Dying For and A Wanted Man. The novel, like a majority of the Jack Reacher novels, is narrated in third-person point of view.

Plot

Jack Reacher finally reaches Virginia, but his long-awaited meeting with Susan isn't meant to be. Instead, he finds a new commanding officer of the 110th MP. Susan has been arrested, and Reacher is about to be recalled back into the Army. He's also been accused of a sixteen-year-old homicide and he may have a teenage daughter.

Critical reception

Janet Maslin, writing in The New York Times, stated that the book "may be the best desert island reading in the series. It's exceptionally well plotted. And full of wild surprises. And wise about Reacher's peculiar nature. And positively Bunyanesque in its admiring contributions to Reacher lore."[3]

Film adaptation

Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions produced the film Jack Reacher: Never Go Back as a sequel to 2012 film, Jack Reacher.[4]
