      Six shots. Five dead. A heartland city is plunged into terror, and the police quickly conclude they have a clear case. However, the accused insists he’s innocent and requests Jack Reacher. The ex-military investigator, living off the grid, soon arrives to uncover the truth. As Reacher delves deeper, he realizes the case is far from straightforward, with lives intertwined in unexpected ways and a killer who missed one critical shot. The gunman, a trained sniper named James Barr, acted from a nearby parking structure, targeting innocent victims. Yet, Barr’s desire for Reacher’s involvement raises questions, as Reacher is the last person Barr would want. When Reacher hears Barr’s words, the case takes a dramatic turn. Partnering with a young defense attorney battling her D.A. father and a prosecution team hiding secrets, Reacher navigates a complex battlefield. He thrives in the shadows, inching closer to the unseen puppet master orchestrating the chaos. To prevail, Reacher must understand his adversary’s ruthlessness and cunning, ultimately preparing for a confrontation that will test his resolve and skills, matching him shot for shot.

    • Královna bouře se odehrává v temných dobách Darkoveru, kterým se dostalo jména Věk Chaosu. V těchto dnech se lidé teprve učí ovládat tajemnou sílu – a přitom ji často zneužívají v mocenských bojích mezi vzmáhajícími se panstvími. Tato mentálně fyzická síla hrozí uvrhnout Darkover do děsivého věku temna, který kdysi postihl vzdálenou, zapomenutou Zemi. Nikdo si ale neuvědomuje, že nebezpečí je ještě vážnější. Díky genetickému křížení rodů se podařilo vyšlechtit neuvěřitelně silné formy laranu, zvláštního nadání obyvatel Darkoveru. To se však vymkne kontrole ve chvíli, kdy se narodí dítě, jež dokáže ovládat čas i hrozivé síly bouře.

      Jack Reacher has no place to go, and all the time in the world to get there, so a remote railroad stop on the prairie with the curious name of Mother's Rest seems perfect for an aimless one-day stopover. He expects to find a lonely pioneer tombstone in a sea of nearly-ripe wheat ... but instead there is a woman waiting for a missing colleague, a cryptic note about two hundred deaths, and a small town full of silent, watchful people. Reacher's one-day stopover turns into an open-ended quest leading to the most hidden reaches of the internet, and right into the nightmare heart of darkness.
