Publisher's summary

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • THE BLOCKBUSTER JACK REACHER SERIES THAT INSPIRED TWO MAJOR MOTION PICTURES AND THE STREAMING SERIES REACHER

“High-powered, intricately wrought suspense.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times

New York City. Two in the morning. A subway car heading uptown. Jack Reacher, plus five other passengers. Four are okay. The fifth isn’t. And if you think Reacher isn’t going to get involved . . . then you don’t know Jack.

Susan Mark, the fifth passenger, had a big secret, and her plain little life was being watched in Washington, and California, and Afghanistan—by dozens of people with one thing in common: They’re all lying to Reacher. A little. A lot. Or just enough to get him killed. A race has begun through the streets of Manhattan, a maze crowded with violent, skilled soldiers on all sides of a shadow war. For Jack Reacher, a man who trusts no one and likes it that way, the finish line comes when you finally get face-to-face and look your worst enemy in the eye.

“Propulsive . . . [Child is] an expert at ratcheting up tension.”—Los Angeles Times

“Hold on tight. . . . This novel will give you whiplash as you rabidly turn pages. . . . May be [Lee Child’s] best.”—USA Today

Take another thrill ride with Jack Reacher.

Critic reviews

“The ever-resourceful and vengeful Reacher takes on nearly a score of the bad guys in an exciting climax to an enthralling book . . . complete with cover-ups and numerous intriguing twists.”—Library Journal (starred review)

“A superb New York novel . . . Child grounds his hero’s hard body and hard-drive brain in believable detail, and he sets the action against a precisely described landscape.”—Booklist (starred review)

“All good thriller writers know how to build suspense and keep the pages turning, but only better ones deliver tight plots as well, and only the best allow the reader to match wits with both the hero and the author. Bestseller Child does all of that in spades. . . . [He] sets things up subtly and ingeniously, then lets Reacher use both strength and guile to find his way to the exciting climax.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

not the best from lee child

I love lee child but this one is flat and so predictable...
you can pass this one without filling sorry for it

great performance

dick hill is still one of the best narrators and i really enjoyed this story

Un-American.

I have truly loved reading/listening to the Jack Reacher series, up until now. I have to admit I liked the plot and I felt for the most part the story moved along , but what was with the continued attack on President Ronald Reagan.? It almost seemed liked a personal vendetta where the former President was concerned. I just didn't care for it.

The Reacher Novels

Would you listen to Gone Tomorrow again? Why?

All of the Reacher novels seem to be similar but they are enertaining and I have read them all.

Great Book Indeed. We really enjoy Dick Hill too!

We love this author and Dick Hill too! We can't wait to listen to the next one.

To Me, The Least Compelling of Reacher Stories

This book was OK. But it seemed sort of shallow by comparison to most of the other Reacher stories. If you are a Reacher fan, of course you will want to read it. And you will enjoy it as well. But in my opinion, it just wasn't quite on par with the rest of the series to date.

Graphic violence

Would you try another book from Lee Child and/or Dick Hill?

I didn't like the voice of the reader. He sounded like some gangster, and my husband and I had to turn the volume off when the violence got too graphic to listen to. I didn't love it.

What could Lee Child have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Cut the graphic violence.

How could the performance have been better?

Get a reader who sounded more like the character should be.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Depression

Infantile

A pretty shallow story with an overly dramatic reader. I returned this book. I won’t be downloading any more of Lee Child’s books.

Total BS abridged! Do not buy

Total BS abridged, do not buy

Total BS abridged, do not buy ever

Abridgement?!!!

Why the hell is this abridged??? I didn't realize it until I got to the end and there was a credit for the abridgement! I did not see any other version on the list of books. Of course, since Amazon and their goddamned algorithms can't seem to list the various Reacher books in order, I have no way of knowing if there is an unabridged version. So, Amazon basically stole a credit from me in exchange for half of a book.
