    July 1977. Jack Reacher is almost seventeen, and he stops in New York City on the way to visit his brother at West Point. The summer heat is suffocating, the city is bankrupt, and the mad gunman known as Son of Sam is still on the loose. Reacher meets a woman with a problem, and agrees to help her . . . but then the power grid fails and the lights go out, plunging the lawless city into chaos. What does a visiting teenager do in the dark? If that visiting teenager is Jack Reacher, the answer is plenty.

      The 3 Harry Barnett books are my first taste of Robert Goddard. I enjoyed the Harry's adventures and will read more of Goddard in the future.

      RAF Reunion in Scotland-part of a series
    • 5/5
      Having read virtually all of Robert Goddard's books and particularly enjoying Into the Blue and Out of the Sun, featuring the same character (Harry Barnett), I was keen to read this. I wasn't disappointed, as it features Goddard's usual depth of characterisation and unusual story line, as well as in many cases featuring real locations he has obviously researched. The exception being the island of Haskurlay, which doesn't exist, but is based on Mingulay I understand. Highly recommended.

      My rating is coloured, perhaps by the fact that the island of Barra is very familiar to me, although I have not been back since 1977. It is quite obvious that either the author or his researcher has visited the island. Haskurlay, for obvious reasons, is an invention, topography based on Mingulay - which is mentioned. There is an interesting story -quite true- about Mingulay. It appears that the people of Castlebay had not heard from the inhabitants of Mingulay for some time and had send a boat down to the island to find that the small population had succumbed to an unspecified disease, save for one man. this unfortunate was marooned on the island for a year for fear he would infect the larger population of Barra. They returned to find the chap still alive. One of his close relatives was still alive when I first went to Barra in 1968 - at the time I was unaware of the story.
    • 3/5
      The rear cover has all the usual best seller buzz words, 'gripping', 'page turner', 'twists', 'unputdownable', etc......but it was a bit of a let down. I didn't really feel for any of the characters. In fact, the only characters I wanted to read about were the few that were only briefly mentioned, the key characters were only mildly interesting.

      I kept going because the whole book was hinting that what they thought they remembered from the experiment in 1955 wasn't acutally as it appeared and I wanted to know why. What happened to them en-route was just page filler.

      The trail that leads to the truth is littered with too many lucky breaks for the hero and seemingly 'being in the right place, at the right time' moments.

      It's not the worst book I've read, but it's far from the best so while I'm glad I've read it, it's not one I'd go back to.

      A great read
