Jack Reacher has no place to go, and all the time in the world to get there, so a remote railroad stop on the prairie with the curious name of Mother's Rest seems perfect for an aimless one-day stopover. He expects to find a lonely pioneer tombstone in a sea of nearly-ripe wheat...but instead there is a woman waiting for a missing colleague, a cryptic note about two hundred deaths, and a small town full of silent, watchful people. Reacher's one-day stopover turns into an open-ended quest leading to the most hidden reaches of the internet, and right into the nightmare heart of darkness.

What he gets are four redneck deputies who want to run him out of town. Mistake. They''re picking on the wrong guy. Jack Reacher is a big man, and he''s in shape. Dos pequeñas ciudades de Colorado: Hope y Despair ("Esperanza y "Desesperacion"). Entre ellas, nada excepto doce millas de una carretera vacia.

Todo lo que quiere es una taza de cafe, pero lo que se encuentra es con cuatro oficiales de policia palurdos que quieren echarle de la ciudad. Error. La han tomado con el hombre equivocado.

Explosive and nearly impossible to put down. People "Until Reacher runs low on grit, make-my-day wisecracks and loner mystique, he will be one of the most enduring action heroes on the American landscape." The New York Times "With his powerful sense of justice, dogged determination and the physical and mental skills to overcome what to most would be overwhelming odds, Jack Reacher makes an irresistible modern knight-errant." Publishers Weekly "Reacher lets us experience what it would be like, just once, to slap every last one of the fools aligned against us upside the head and then, pausing only to pack our toothbrush, hit the highway."

Jahrtausende hat es geschlafen. Jetzt ist es erwacht. Fear Base, eine verlassene Militärstation in Alaska. Ein kleines Team von Klimaforschern untersucht einen Berg, der den einheimischen Tunit seit Urzeiten heilig ist. Angeblich soll es Unglück bringen, dem Berg sein Geheimnis zu entreißen. Als ein riesiges Stück vom Gletscher abbricht, wird eine Höhle freigelegt: Tief drinnen zwei gelbe Augen, eingefroren im Eis. Eine wissenschaftliche Sensation, die sogar ein Filmteam auf den Plan ruft. Entgegen allen Warnungen sägen die Dokumentarfilmer das Wesen aus dem Eis, um es vor laufender Kamera aufzutauen. Über Nacht verschwindet die Kreatur. Doch sie kommt wieder - und bringt den Tod.
