In this short story from Lee Child, Jack Reacher is again on the move. But even a pleasant hike on a beautiful summer day turns into a walk on the wild side . . . and perhaps something far more sinister.
/>

Jack Reacher is on the road, hitching a ride with some earnest young Canadians who are planning a hike through some of the last unspoiled wilderness in North America in the dense forests of Maine. They part ways after sharing a hot meal, and Reacher checks out a quiet town surrounded by countryside serene enough to cool even his raging wanderlust. But not for long. First the trail is suddenly and inexplicably closed. Then the military police show up in force. Maybe it's a drill. Or maybe it's trouble—the kind of trouble that always finds Reacher, no matter how far he travels off the beaten path.

Not a Drill is a Jack Reacher short story that takes place in an out of the way forrest near the Canada and U.S. borders. It is about a group of people who Reacher happened upon. It is a good story and worth the four stars that were given in this review. ( )

3 1/2 stars, I think. It was a quick, enjoyable read, if you like Jack Reacher. No fights in this one, but just the typical common sense and clear thinking that we've come to expect most of the time. Nothing great, but not bad for a short story. ( )

More of a fragment than a short story. Like a chapter from a larger work as the story is incomplete and nothing really happens. ( )

Maybe the worst Reacher book I've read. The language seemed off, the story was definitely off. At least it was short. ( )

Read as part of No Middle Name. Reacher hitched a ride with teens through Maine. ( )

One thing leads to another, and in Jack Reacher's case, one warm and aimless August day, a hitched ride in an empty lumber truck led to East Millinocket in Maine, which led in turn to a decent mid-morning meal in a roadside restaurant near the highway, which led to a halting two-wary-guys conversation with the man at the next table, which led to an offered ride farther north, to a place called Island Falls.
