Bad Luck and Trouble by Lee Child

I read this May 2022, one that I'd not posted yet.  It will be the next movie on Amazon Prime in the Jack Reacher Series.  Published 2014, paperback has 477 pages and a Preview of Night School at the end.  It is another Jack Reacher at his best and involves the pulling back together the Old Army Unit who had each been hand picked back then by Reacher.  Someone is murdering the  members.  Reacher and the team will find and destroy that person(s).  

Chapter 1  begins with the description of Calvin Franz, the first victim although not identified as part of the team at first.  He was tortured, two broken legs, tossed from a helicopter.  On pages 23-24 Neagley informs Reacher about Calvin.  

Reacher has had to change some things from earlier novels.  Now instead of traveling only with this tooth brush he has  passport and ATM card.  It is different now post 9/11/2001. 

 Page 6 describes: how Reacher has had to change tactics and add this gear:

Page 16 recalls how Neagley had come up with the catchphrase, "You do not mess with the special investigators"  It had been repeated endlessly as a  promise and a warning.  Now someone clearly was trying.  

 Pages 202-203 describe something about the soldier's mindset about death..."  "It was given that soldiers contemplate death.  They live with it.  They accept it.  They expect it.  Some of them even want it.  But deep down they want it to be fair.  Me against him.  May the best man win.  They want it to be noble.  Win or lose, they want it to arrive with significance.      A soldier dead with his arms tied behind him was the worst kind of outrage.  It was about helplessness and submission and abuse.  It was about powerlessness."  

This is another bang up Reacher thriller.  5 ***** x 3.
