“Bennett was watching me, and I asked him, ‘The bulletproof glass in Paris was new, right?’‘Yes,’ he said. ‘Improved, anyway.’‘Do you know anything about it?’‘No,’ he said. ‘Other than it’s glass, and, well, bulletproof.’‘I need to know everything about it. Who designed it, who researched it, who funded it, who manufactured it, who tested it, and who signed off on it.’‘We already thought of that.’‘Thought of what?’‘Borrowing the shields and flying them in from Paris. Putting one either side. The...y’re not very wide, but given the way the streets run, they would reduce the field of fire by about ten per cent each. But we decided against it. Politicians are civilians. They’d cower behind the shields. Subconsciously, maybe, but it wouldn’t look good. And they couldn’t stay there for ever. Which would give the bad guys the other eighty per cent to aim at anyway. So all in all we thought it would be a net loss.’‘That wasn’t what I was thinking of.MoreLess

These books are awesome. I am reading my way through the Jack Reacher series and have enjoyed everyone.

I think that this excellent writer has miscalculated in his estimates that a man 6'11" tall needs a home with everything 50% larger and higher. The steps being 50% higher would be uncomfortable for him since a 6'6" man could use normal height steps, as described in this book. Reacher is 5" shorter than Joey yet is comfortable with normal sized house proportions..

One would think that a giant such as is described, , worth multi millions , would have had a vehicle especially sized so as to accomodate him more comfortably.Write Review:
