Publisher's summary
New Year's Day, 1990. A soldier is found dead in a sleazy motel bed. Jack Reacher is the officer on duty.
The soldier turns out to be a two-star general. The situation is bad enough, then Reacher finds the general's wife.
This stomach-churning thriller turns back the clock to a younger Reacher, in dogtags. A Reacher who still believes in the service. A Reacher who imposes army discipline. Even if only in his own pragmatic way...

Fascinating "Origins of Jack Reacher" novel
"The Enemy", the ninth Jack Reacher book, takes us back to January 1990, just after the fall of the Berlin Wall, when Reacher was a Major in the Military Police.
One of the things I enjoyed about the previous book, "The Persuader" was the glimpses it gave me of who Jack Reacher was when he was in the Army. It left me hungry for more. Perhaps it had the same impact on Lee Child because "The Enemy is set entirely in Reacher's Army past.
"The Enemy" is a sort of "Origins of Wolverine" book. it deepened my understanding of how the Jack Reacher I met in the previous books came to be the way he is.
"The Enemy" explores how the US Army works via an investigation into the death of General. The plot is tight, complex and satisfying, spiced by conflicts with an asshole superior officer with an agenda and a larger mystery around a coordinated but unexplained large-scale re-assignment of Special Unit MPs.
I know nothing of the US Army other than what I've seen of their bases in Germany and the UK but I found Child's depiction of it convincing and compelling: the sheer scale of the organization as it was back then, the way bases are the same everywhere in the world, right down to the menus in the Officers' Club, the power of rank, the freedom to work the system, the complete lack of control on where and under whom you will serve.
I enjoyed seeing Reacher outside the US, in Germany (where the US bases make everything seem as close to home as possible) and France in which Reacher, son of a French woman, seems more at home than in North Carolina. I was fascinated to see how Reacher behaved with his older brother, a man who was killed in the first Jack Reacher book, "Killing Floor" and who's ghostwad evoked in the sixth book "Without Fail" when Reacher is approached by his brother's ex-girl friend.
Reacher in 1990 seemed less damaged and less lost than the Reacher in the other books. The Army and his family give him stability and a sense of purpose. It becomes clear how the loss of these things would change him for the worse.
But the 1990 Reacher is still recognisable. The things that make him scary are already present: his tendency towards violent confrontation, his inablity to let things go, his habit of using others to achieve his own agenda and his willingness to appoint himself as both judge and executioner. The things that prevent me from writing him off as a psychotic thug are also there: hisdrive to do the right thing, his willingness to take the consequences for his actions and his strong desire to keep the Army the way he thinks it should be.
"The Enemy" is a well-written period criminal investigation novel that would be attractive as a stand-alone novel. The insight's that it brings on Reacher's origins move it up into a compelling read and encourages me to thank that the Reacher novels will continue to get better, which is good news as I still have eleven more to go.

Another brilliant Jack Reacher book by Lee Child
Where does The Enemy rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
The Enemy is of a very high standard and very much like Lee Child's other Jack Reacher books, an in-depth journey into Whitehouse politics and murder
Who was your favorite character and why?
You cannot rate anyone in a Jack Reacher book any higher than Jack Reacher himself. A very convincing portrait of an ex-army policeman with all the skills, knowledge and experience of someone who grew-up as an army child
What does Jeff Harding bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
I believe Jeff Harding is one of the greatest US voice-over artists that has ever been used to read USA-based audio books. As a blind reader of thriller audio books, I have listened to a large number of his audio books and I marvel at his capacity to not only make the books interesting but to read in so many different voices and dialects, even British English on some occasions! I rate Jeff as one of the best.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Without giving much away, the scene where the vice President was visiting a homeless shelter to serve lunch was the most moving part of the book
Any additional comments?
I rate this book as one of the best in the Jack Reacher series.... although I must say, I have already read seven and they are all brilliant

A waste of time
I am a big fan of Lee child jack teacher books but this one was a waste of time. It went no where and was a never ending chase of useless clues with a terrible plot and lack of building any interesting characters. I will try one more in his series but not for awhile. After this one I need a break

Reacher brought to life by Jeff Harding
As a fan and having read all the books and short stories, I have to say Jeff Harding by far has been the best narrator. He has brought Reacher to life in a magnificent way. His tone of voice aptly represents the verbal description of the character that Lee Child has painted from Book one onwards. Excellent story and well narrated.

"I said nothing!"
If you could sum up The Enemy in three words, what would they be?
I said nothing!
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Enemy?
The annoyance I felt at his disregard for Army protocols which seemed out of character but perhaps a means to an end in terms of the wider plot.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
The dinner scene in Germany
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes
Any additional comments?
Never has such an engaging story had so many statements saying that he/she/they/we/I said nothing. Although the story didn't take a genius to figure out the perpetrator(s) it was clearly going to be tough for Reacher to do his thing. At first I thought thi

Jack in his prime back in the army, excellent. Seeing Jack operate in a military sitting makes you pity the bad guys outside the military world. This install gives you a glimpse into the military life Jack loved so much and where he honed he skills. This story also adds a bit of a personal touch with appearances from key members of Jack's family.

Flash Back Time
I'm slowly working my way through Lee Child's offerings and that includes his Reacher novels. The Enemy is an important chapter of the Reacher story. Not only because it shows where some of his values come from and his desire to do the right thing, but it also highlights a darker side to Jack Reacher in his execution of justice and where it may have originated. I was shocked at the ending but not really surprised. I love the detail of the weapons and the ballistics captured in this book.
Jeff Harding, need I say more. If he's 6'5", I'm sure he's Jack Reacher. If he's not, he's a brilliant voice actor.

Down and personal with Jack Reacher
Loved hearing more about Jacks history and how he was formed into the person he is.
Lots of twists with the actual story which keeps you interested and glued to the book.

Another great Jack Reacher novel
I’m not really a fan of the first person tale, you always know that the story teller will survive, they have to or they can’t tell you their story. There are ways around it but I usually find those stories clunky and awkward around that point.
The story is well crafted by Lee Child as you can well expect. Now I haven’t been in the American armed forces yet I imagine they operated in the way the author explained. It wouldn’t surprise me to find out that they did. There were a few times I thought that the direction Reacher wasn’t travelling was blatantly obvious and I wanted to shout at him but I’m thinking with the mindset of people living in 2022 not 1990 and let that part go. The ending was decent enough and people got what they deserved and Reacher went on. I enjoyed the narration even though the narrator has limited voices in his repertoire, after all he has many more than I do.
A great book in my opinion.. 4 stars

Story
My life was ordinary until three years ago when I was thrown out of a downtown hotel window. My name is Robbie Brownlaw, and I am a homicide detective for the city of San Diego. I am 29 years old. I now have synesthesia, a neurological condition where your senses get mixed up. Sometimes when people talk to me, I see their voices as colored shapes provoked by the emotions of the speakers, not by the words themselves. I have what amounts to a primitive lie detector.
