    About this audiobook

    In an action-packed fantasy in the vein of Robin Hobb and N. K. Jemisin, two outcasts will become allies for the fight of their lives.

    Snow is many things. A half-blood assassin who's quick with a blade. A conjuror with the power to manipulate shadows. A sharp-witted smuggler who looks after herself first and no one second. What she has never been is trusting, so when a northern stranger helps her escape two Republic soldiers, she's more than a little suspicious.

    Joining forces with someone as deadly as Snow isn't easy for an outcast like Veiko, who hears the dead, whether he wants to or not. But as a clanless outlaw, he doesn't have many options. When the two of them uncover a conspiracy that could tear the land apart, they form an unlikely partnership. But as they grow closer, their enemies grow stronger, and Snow will need to make a choice: sacrifice her partner…or damn the Republic to war.

      Lee Child's Jack Reacher novels are in that take-me-away genre. They just grab you with the first paragraph and keep you until they are done with you. A two-star general is found in a seedy motel room dead of a heart attack and his brief case is missing. Jack's MP career is quickly on the line when no one is interested in finding out more, but him.
    • 3/5
      This was my first Reacher novel, and the first chronologically. I was hoping to find another thriller/mystery/crime series that I could rely on to satisfy that urge the way Ross MacDonald and Elmore Leonard do. It was fine, but probably not a series I will return to.
    • 4/5
      Perfectly good and complicated plot. Nice to go back in time when Jack was in the military. And to meet his mother and brother.
    • 3/5
      I don't know what it is about the Reacher series, but reading them is like eating potato chips.
    • 3/5
      BOTTOM-LINE:Nice backstory, weak mystery.PLOT OR PREMISE:Jack Reacher is still in the military and gets transferred out of Panama just before New Year's Eve, 1989. The Berlin Wall is falling, Panama is heating up with Noriega, and Reacher is watching grass grow at his new post, until a General drops dead at a seedy motel..WHAT I LIKED:The story gives more of Reacher's back story, and it is interesting to see the "man alone" working within a command structure with others. And it is an interesting premise -- what do you do in the military when the future looks like you're about to become obsolete? The supporting characters were good, and it was nice to see Reacher with his brother and mother. At the end, there is a twist about an error Reacher makes early on that comes back to bite him, and it is a great element to keep. The aftermath is kind of abrupt, with who went where and what happened next, but hard to avoid in a "flashback" style story..WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE:The premise for the story is a little far-fetched, but when they get to the final reveal, the real specific motive is ridiculous as the people involved would never have done what they did, at least not on paper, and not openly. Reacher stumbles around in the dark long past where certain lines of enquiry should have been obvious, and particulalry for the identify of a specific witness. And the killer..DISCLOSURE:I received no compensation, not even a free copy, in exchange for this review. I am not personal friends with the author, nor do I follow him / her on social media.

      I had previously read this book 10 years ago, and couldn't really remember much about it other than a vague feeling of satisfaction over how it ended. Re-reading it now, I didn't really have any memories of where things went or the plot line so it was almost like reading it fresh (I had read another 1,100 books between then and now, so it's not as if the book is unmemorable in it's own right).The story itself fits in early to the Jack Reacher chronology, being the first full length novel after the prequel short stories & novella, although in publishing order it's eighth. I quite enjoyed the way things unfolded and the air of mystery and seemingly conflicting information that muddled the investigation as events unfolded.Overall, an excellent military police procedural novel.
    • 5/5
      The Enemy opens with a heart attack. A two-star general is found dead of an apparent heart attack. Within hours his wife is murdered. Within days two special forces soldiers are murdered, one at a time. At the center of each death is Jack Reacher, a complicated military cop. Ordinarily considered one of the best, suddenly Reacher is starting to look like a suspect instead. Normally a loner, Reacher finds himself working with a partner trying to clear his name. It is obvious he is being set up and Reacher will stop at nothing to get to the truth including going AWOL and much worse. The Enemy is peppered with military jargon and violence but not overwhelmingly so. Reacher has a likable character. He is human enough to do the wrong thing from time to time. How he gets out of the trickier situations really makes the story. I was fascinated from start to finish.
    • 5/5
      Another excellent Reacher story, this time it is back in 1990 and he is still a Major in the MP. Europe is changing with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the US Army is feeling under threat with its future role in question. This impacts Reacher who suddenly finds himself posted from Panama back to Fort Bird in N Carolina and investigating the death of a General on his patch on New Year's Eve. Excellent sounding military detail, with strongly drawn characters and intriguing plot which keeps you guessing to the final pages.
    • 2/5
      The enemy was a pretty standard military mystery. Stale plot.
    • 4/5
      The usual fare.This time we are taken back to Jack's early life while still serving in the US army as an MP major. Sunddenly transfered to a new base, he has to cope with the unexpected death of a 2-star general, the repercussions this invokes.Limited violence compared to some, Jack has to be in full investigative form which is quite enjoyable. How accurate the descriptions of the US army bases and lifestyles are, only the author knows, but they don't detract from the plot without being too explicit either. The plot is somplex and the motives of the opposition byzantine - not wholly belivable, but it is fast paced and you can skip over the worst of the unlikely flaws. We get some development of Jacks character and background through the interaction with his family. This does bog down the plot a bit as it is a complete sidetrack, but for those who have followed Jack's progress through several books it is a welcome explanation.Fun and fast muc like the others.

      According to a guy I met at the bookstore, I’d be doing myself a favor by picking up this book. Well, why not, I said to myself, it’s on sale and it’s got all these glowing reviews by Newsweek, New York Times, USA Today, Chicago Sun-Times,…I was sadly disappointed. The book did not live up to the hype. Maybe I was just too ill (had a fever at the time I was reading it) to appreciate it or I was expecting too much from it.I liked the beginning pages, though. It was the middle part—where the hero, Reacher and his lieutenant, Summer, investigates the crimes — that left me flat and bored.I had to read on though, because the good part might just be toward the end. I was, in part, right. The end was a surprise as the hero, Reacher, does something I never expected a hero to do. So, that was OK.But overall, the characters were all too remote —so stingy with emotions. It’s as if they actually reveled in their stoicism. Maybe the author has this “macho thing”. For instance, Reacher and Summer have sexual relations in the story but as the case closes, Reacher never sees nor hears from her again? Huh? What ever happened to cellphones and e-mails? It’s not as if the story was set in the 50’s.Oh well, the book was not a total waste of time. The author peppers it with interesting bits of trivia on weapons, tanks, etc. These made up for the book’s rather dull characters.Entertainment Weekly commented, “[Child] emerges as a worthy successor to Tom Clancy. ” I’ve read Tom Clancy and enjoyed him immensely. I don’t think Lee Child’s style comes very close to Tom Clancy’s power to thrill. But then, this is the first novel I’ve read by this author. So perhaps his other lauded work, The Persuader, might just get me to change my mind.My Mark : Mediocre
    • 4/5
      This book is not the latest in Lee Child’s “Jack Reacher” series, but it merits a distinctive look, for reasons I’ll delineate below.Lee Child books are crime/suspense/thrillers, some of which feature Jack Reacher, “hero, loner, soldier.” Short, clipped sentences describe plots that are not too gory, occasionally a bit obvious, but engaging enough to keep one burning the midnight oil to turn the pages. “The Enemy” is an earlier book in the series involving Jack Reacher, who in this “episode” is a 29-year-old Military Police Office, a Major of the 110th Special Unit, newly transferred at the end of 1989 to Fort Bird, North Carolina.Shortly after he arrives, a 2-star general is found dead in a nearby sleazy motel. Reacher picks an attractive woman MP, Lieutenant Summer, to help him solve the string of crimes that concatenate from the murder.This particular book is worth reading for a different reason. The real issue of interest is not the murders per se, but the situation (elucidated by Child) that the military was facing as the USSR was disintegrating. Since WWII, the resources and energy of the U.S. military focused on gearing up for a possible confrontation with the Soviet Union. When the Berlin Wall crumbled at the end of 1989, so did the results of an entire 40-some years of military preparation. Suddenly, the traditional enemy was gone, and a host of weaponry, infrastructure, strategies, agendas, and careers were on the brink - no longer of war, but of obsolescence.The analysis of how much the military was shaped after the war by the perceived threat from the USSR is very thought-provoking. The descriptions of the different kinds of tanks in use and what they were good for; the kind of roads necessary to support them; and the costs and personnel involved, will give you a lot of insight into the current problems faced by the U.S. The military and political information is fascinating, but there are some other gems of insight too – like this one when Jack and his brother Joe face the death of their mother:“Life,” Joe said. “What a completely weird thing it is. A person lives sixty years, does all kinds of things, knows all kinds of things, feels all kinds of things, and then it’s over. Like it never happened at all.”“We’ll always remember her.”“No, we’ll remember parts of her. The parts she chose to share. The tip of the iceberg. The rest, only she knew about. Therefore the rest already doesn’t exist. As of now.”We smoked another cigarette each and sat quiet. Then we walked back, slowly, side by side, a little burned out, at some kind of peace.Recommendation: Even if you don’t like crime/thriller/mysteries, this book contains some fascinating political analysis you aren’t apt to get in such an entertaining format. Thus I recommend this book over others of the Lee Child Jack Reacher series, primarily for the insight it confers into international relations.
    • 4/5
      A bit more "detecting" in this Reacher episode than in the previous ones in the series, and a bit less butt kicking. The story is decent, the mystery decent, the glimpse of Reacher's life before he left the military very enlightening. It was a well-done back story which fleshes Reacher out a bit more than his straight up butt kicking stories. Overall a decent read.

      New Year's Day, 1990. The Berlin Wall is coming down. The Cold War is ending. Soon America won't have any enemies left. The Army won't have anybody to fight. Things are going to change. Jack Reacher is the Military Police duty officer on a base in North Carolina when he takes a call reporting a dead soldier in a hot-sheets motel. Reacher tells the local cops to handle it—heart attacks happen all the time.But why is Reacher in North Carolina, instead of Panama, where the action is? Then the dead man turns out to have been a two-star general who should have been in Europe. And when Reacher goes to the general's house to break the news, he finds another corpse: the general's wife. What is he dealing with here? The last echoes of the old world... or the first shocks of the new?Winner of 2005 Nero, Barry and (yes, this is not a typo) Jack Reacher awards. The Nero Award, for literary excellence in the mystery genre, is awarded by The Wolfe Pack. The Barry Award for Best Novel of the Year is awarded by Deadly Pleasures magazine.

    • 4/5
      Synopsis: Major Gen. Kenneth Kramer dies of a heart attack in a seedy North Carolina motel, apparently while in the company of a prostitute. MP Maj. Jack Reacher investigates and comes to the conclusion that the woman Kramer was with stole his briefcase. Reacher's superior, Col. Leon Garber, orders him to deliver news of the general's death to his wife. Accompanied by a female officer, Lieutenant Summer, Reacher travels to her house in Virginia. When they arrive, however, they find evidence of a break-in, as well as Mrs. Kramer's body. Reacher returns to the bar across the street from the motel in an attempt to identify the alleged prostitute. He gets into a fight with a bouncer, breaking his knee. Afterwards, Reacher is told by the motel's night clerk that he heard a military vehicle leaving after Kramer's death, and Reacher concludes that the woman Kramer was with is a female army officer. He is later confronted by two officers, Col. Coomer and Brigadier Gen. Vassell, members of Kramer's staff, who inquire about the briefcase but leave after Reacher mentions Ms. Kramer's death. Later, a Delta Force soldier, Christopher Carbone, is found murdered in a manner that suggests he was gay. Garber is suddenly transferred to a new command in South Korea and replaced with Col. Willard, a deeply unpleasant bureaucrat who instructs Reacher to write off Carbone's death as an accident. He also reveals that Carbone filed a complaint against Reacher accusing him of assaulting the bouncer, and that he intends to use it as evidence that Reacher killed Carbone unless he closes the investigation quickly. Shortly thereafter, another murder is reported: David Brubaker, Carbone's CO, is shot dead in a Columbia alleyway with money and heroin in his pocket. Believing that the two murders are connected, Reacher and Summer focus on the one thing missing from Kramer's newly recovered briefcase: the printed agenda from a conference he was supposed to attend for members of the armored divisions. Coomer and Vassell deny that such an agenda exists, and Willard begins to turn up the pressure on Reacher, forcing him to rely on his wits, contacts in the military police, and years of experience as he tries to unravel the true reason why Kramer's briefcase was stolen. In the midst of it all, he receives a call from his older brother Joe informing him that his elderly mother Josephine has passed away from cancer in Paris. Despite having been assured by Josephine earlier that she was ready to die, Reacher feels her loss immensely. After returning to the United States with Summer following his mother's funeral, Reacher secures a meeting with the Chief of Staff, and reveals his findings: with the collapse of the Soviet Union imminent, the army is preparing to downsize its armored units in favor of infantry, and Kramer and his fellow officers, not wanting to lose their prestigious jobs and perks, were preparing to orchestrate an elaborate public relations and lobbying scheme to persuade Congress and the American people to reject the plan. Having foreseen this, the Chief admits that he arranged for twenty of the army's best investigators, including Reacher, to be assigned to specific posts across the world on a specific day, using forged orders from Garber, so that they would be in a position to prevent such manipulations. He provides Reacher with evidence of his claims, and notes that the Secretary of Defense was also working with the plotters. Reacher deduces that Kramer was gay, and that he met Carbone at the motel, who stole his briefcase when he passed away and informed Brubaker of the contents. He also set up Reacher to be charged with assault to cover his tracks. Coomer and Vassell, eager to recover the briefcase, set up an exchange between Carbone and their gofer Maj. Marshall; Marshall killed Carbone and then murdered Brubaker as well before he could use the information. He also killed Ms. Kramer while searching her house for the case; Reacher realizes that Marshall also had a relationship with Kramer and killed his wife out of anger and jealousy. Reacher travels to California and arrests Vassell and Coomer for conspiracy to commit homicide. He then travels to a firing range in the Mojave Desert where Marshall is conducting firing exercises to arrest him as well. Marshall attempts to commit suicide by maneuvering the tanks into firing on his position, but Reacher shoots him in the shoulder and takes him into custody. The missing agenda is subsequently retrieved from Carbone's billet: it contains a plan to assassinate eighteen prominent infantry officers, including many rising stars, to cripple their modernization efforts. The evidence is turned over to military authorities, and the accused are sentenced to life imprisonment for their crimes. Reacher is informed that, due to the charge filed by Carbone, he will be demoted to captain unless he denies it, which his lawyer encourages him to do. Instead, Reacher accepts the charge to avoid disgracing Carbone's memory further, and looks forward to serving on the front lines again. Before accepting his new command, he tracks down the corrupt Willard and executes him in his own house, planting drugs on the body to hide his involvement. The story ends with Reacher reflecting on the fact that he never saw Summer again despite hearing that she also received a promotion to captain.Review: While the entire story is rather riveting, the ending falls flat. It's like Child gets to his word minimum and simply puts, The End.
    • 4/5
      Okay, it's not great literature, but for what it is, this is as good as it gets. This Reacher novel goes back in time so we start learning more about his life in the military, before he was a rootless hero. It took me a while to get into it, but about halfway through I could say the usual: I dare you to tell me you can put a Jack Reacher novel down.
    • 5/5
      Reacher is a hard guy military police detective. He reminds me of Spenser in novels by Robert Parker, but without the humor. He's a great character. The book begins with a heart attack. It ends with things he never does and people he never sees again. I actually read this book twice, years apart, and I almost never read a book twice. Yet it was still great.
    • 4/5
      As usual for the Jack Reacher novels, this is a quick and entertaining read. As usual also, the mystery isn't all that mysterious. Maybe it is just me, but I have yet to come across a Jack Reacher novel in which I don't smell the big surprise a few hundred pages before it is revealed to the readers.Still, it is good, undemanding airport literature.
    • 5/5
      This may have been my favorite Jack Reacher novel. The mystery was interesting, the process of solving it was interesting, the characters were interesting. OK, so I found it interesting. Plus, the book offered plenty of opportunities for Reacher to be Reacher (with a bonus of getting to see Reacher react to Delta Force soldiers). I particularly enjoyed seeing how Reacher behaved while still in the military (this book takes place a number of years before Killing Floor and is therefore the first book chronologically in the Reacher series). An additional bonus was the opportunity to see Reacher interact with both his brother and mother. Highly recommended (but, despite the fact that this book is chronologically first, it should not be read before Killing Floor).
    • 3/5
      If you have not read Lee Child before, do NOT start with this book - like I did. I picked up this book on the recommendation of my brother-in-law and that's another bone I have to pick with him. In fairness, he recommended Lee Child and Jack Reacher, not 'The Enemy' in particular. 'The Enemy' fills in the back story of Reacher's life and long-time readers will likely appreciate that, but not yet being a long-time reader, I wouldn't know if that saves this book or not. I like action/adventure books (Robert Ludlum, Frederick Forsyth, John Case - I've even choked down many of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan paperweights), so I should like Lee Child and Jack Reacher, but this book did not do it for me. Careful police work and some bare-knuckle action led to an implausible (OK, stupid and silly) climax. But, since I really do respect my bro-in-law (after all, he also recommended Alan Furst) and so many other readers also rave about the Jack Reacher series, I will likely give Child another go.
    • 2/5
      Definitely not as good of a read as The Persuader. Sometimes Child goes into far too much detail about the various weapons used in the military than I am able to tolerate. Maybe I'm too "girly," but I could care less about which gun is which, how many bullets it takes, who made it and why! There were times I scanned ahead on the page to get to the action or dialogue rather than read yet another weapons description. Was nice to read about Reacher's background, though I am reading the books out of order, which probably doesn't help.
    • 4/5
      Enjoyable Jack Reacher story set in his personal past of when he was a military policeman. We meet his brother and his mother and see him make the moral decision which will lead to his demotion. Another enjoyable read.
    • 3/5
      Another reacher story - actually back story as this one happens in 1990.

      My 3 stars pretty much says it all: good if your into the reacher series.
    • 3/5
      Said to be a prequel to the Reacher series, the pace was a bit slow but still a good "detective" mystery. Reacher here as a military MP is too embroiled in military minutia and the story flags through much of the middle.
    • 3/5
      This was the first time I have read Lee Child, and I enjoyed the Jack Reacher character. Towards the end, I did get bogged down with too much detail, no matter how hard I had to concentrate. Otherwise, pretty good. 
    • 5/5
      With the Berlin Wall coming down in 1990, The Cold War was ending. The military was due for a downsizine and certain commanders didn't want to see thier units lessened.Maj. Jack Reacher is suddenly transferred to a new base and is the duty officer for the Military Police on New Year's Eve. He gets a call that a two-star general has been found in a seedy motel, dead of a heart attack. When he goes to the general's home to notify his wife, Reacher finds the genreral's wife has been murdered.Reacher finds that the general was headed for a meeting and his briefcase, containing the meeting's agenda, is missing. When he continues to investigate, he is ordered to refrain because it could bring bad publicity to the military.Reacher and a young officer who is assisting him, Lt. Summer, feel that it would be unethical to stop the investigation so at the risk of their careers they continue their search.There is conflict with a Delta Force unit when one of their men reports that Reacher beat up two civilians without provocation. Later, when the Delta Force sergeant is murdered, the men in his unit give Reacher seven days to find the killer or they will come after him.This is a page turner in the highest sense of the term. Reacher is one of the best characters in literature and his bravery and dedication are shown here as never before. Many readers wanted to know why Reacher left the military and this story looks back on the events that led to his resignation from active duty.The story itself has excellent action scenes and Reacher's motives and investigatory actions are properly explained and logical.
    • 5/5
      This was my first introduction to Lee Child, and what an introduction it was! There's just something about Child's writing that sucks you in and stays with you throughout the book. Reacher is a very unique protagonist who you can't help but like. He's not conventional, but he'll do the dirty work when needed. the mystery of the murder was well paced and kept you wondering throughout the book. This is the book that has now let me caught up in entire Jack Reacher series, and it's a series I'd recommend to anyone.
    • 4/5
      I have read all of the books in the Jack Reacher series up to this one and have enjoyed them all, some more than others. This is one that I really liked. It goes back to when Jack was an MP in the Army investigating several murders both in the civilian and armed services sector. Mr. Child has developed quite a convoluted plot that keeps the reader guessing right up until the end. There also is a storyline involving Jack's brother and mother that helps fill-in some further information regarding Jack's family life.

      An unexpected reassignment, a dead general on New Year's Eve, and a missing briefcase: Reacher figured the army would cover it up, but when the general's wife dies in a home invasion the same night, he pokes his nose in. Reacher has a mystery to solve, a pretty, competent aide, no aversion to using violence to solve a problem, and a thorough knowledge of the grey areas between the rules. My kind of guy.

      Lost too much sleep with pure enjoyment of this Reacher novel! Didn't go to bed until 6 am the last night of reading lol.
