Excellent book, as usual. The story follows the same format as several of the other Jack Reacher books (evil genious behind the scenes, controlling his minions through threats of death, working toward an evil goal) and Reacher of course defeats him. The setting and the characters are what make it different. His descriptions of the freezing winter conditions were very effective - I felt cold just reading them. The only problem I had was the constant counting down throughout the book - 59 hours to go. Then a few pages later, 52 hours to go. Then a chapter later, 48 hours to go. And so on. I found it a little distracting.
