Historia
These days, no one in America feels immune to violence. But now, in this extraordinary, groundbreaking book, the nation's leading expert on predicting violent behavior unlocks the puzzle of human violence and shows that, like every creature on earth, we have within us the ability to predict the harm others might do us and get out of its way. Contrary to popular myth, human violence almost always has a discernible motive and is preceded by clear warning signs.

The Gift of Fear
Revisado: 06-10-24
Great for the general public, like most books there is some filler. Worth a read, especially for women and children, older ones.

Not so great
Revisado: 09-27-22
I really wanted to like this book, but it lacks direction or interest. Some of his other books have something to hang onto and while this one has some interesting alternative history it is bland.

Historia
Thumbing across the scorched West Texas desert, loner Jack Reacher has nowhere to go and all the time in the world to get there. Cruising the same stretch of two-lane blacktop is pretty Carmen Greer. But for Reacher, the lift comes with a hitch. Carmen's got a story to tell, and it's a wild one. All about her husband, her family secrets, and a hometown that's pure Gothic. She's also got a plan. Jack Reacher's part of it. And before the sun sets, this ride could cost them both their lives.

Not my Favorite in the Series

I love the Jack Reacher books, but this one was tough to get through. I agree with some of the others, you can skip this one.

I have read other books by Akart and loved them, This series focuses on rich republicans that make it hard to relate to or feel bad for when anything happens. This whole series is, I tried to make it through 3 of the series and couldn't.

It's an interesting story. There are some things I didn't know about. The story of the Skunk Works and it's workers is some what inspirational. Also, depressing to learn how to totally screwed up our military leadership is.

It is an interesting take on the future and concepts of things to come. I felt like we were missing part of the story which made it hard to care about the characters or the events that happened.
