Based on a recommendation from a friend I decided I would try to start a series of novels on a character named Jack Reacher (written by Lee Child). I decided that I would actually like to read the series in chronological order based on the character's experience rather than the actual publication order. The earliest book in Jack Reacher's experience was The Enemy.
Overall a pretty easy read, good basic plot line, enough suspense to keep you going, a compelling hero character, all made for an enjoyable book. It streches the likelihood of reality but walks the line close enough to allow you to believe it could possibly happen and that Reacher could be a real true life hero.
Summary of plot (pulled from other summaries): On New Year's Day, 1990, in a North Carolina motel, a two-star general is found dead. Within minutes, Reacher is ordered to contain the situation. But things soon escalate when Reacher discovers the general's briefcase is missing and within hours, the general's wife is killed. Reacher soon finds himself embroiled in a complex game of tug of war between powerful men in the United States Army, and beyond.
