Whoa! Is Jack going to live? This was intense!
The first part of the story was written like AI would write it. I get it, but I didn't care for that style at all. The last 30% was better. Had more of a story to it. Guess I'll see with the next book, if Jack gets out of the "business" entirely!

jack is back
It took a little time to get into the book because it was a while since I read book 16 and I has forgotten the situation Jack was in. The book started slow and built momentum. It’s amazing what a one legged man can do!

Terrible reading
Not a stand alone book. Have read others in the series,and this one makes no sense at all. I was lost from the beginning, and am lost at the end. Don't know what was going on the whole book. Sorry,but I don't think it's me.
