this was not a very good crossover. I'm not familiar with Trent, but Reacher is known to me, and none of his character was really shown in this story. the plot was flimsy, the writing was not tight, and the dialog felt forced.

Slow start but it grabbed my interest pretty quickly. I was hoping to see where Reacher came in. The apparent bad boy, Will, intrigued me. I want to know more about his life before his posting to Ft. Knox. I will buy the book.

Like having a sexual encounter that doesn't end with an orgasm. Ridiculous ending.
