In this essay collection of living a full life in a degenerating body, Shane Burcaw takes us through everything he has to face on a daily basis. Using his characteristic acerbic humour, Shane weaves a tapestry of stories aimed not just to entertain, but to bring awareness to the extra challenges only someone with his unique situation can express. Receiving head pats instead of handshakes for one, or passers-by mistaking his girlfriend for his nurse. Expect to have your eyes opened, but also don't feel too bad if you laugh a little too. 

A highly anticipated addition to Child's extensive Jack Reacher novels, this newest story features Jack in a personal mission of aiding an elderly couple from loan sharks. By itself, it would be nothing Jack couldn't handle, except it puts him squarely in between two rival gangs with no whims about stopping whoever gets in their way. Unluckily for them, Jack Reacher is always more than he seems, and though this thriller will pit him against some of his toughest adversaries yet, you can bet our man will find a way.
