Publisher's summary

The incomparable hero of Jack Reacher: Never Go Back takes listeners to school in his most explosive novel yet. After 11 straight global best sellers, discover the thrillers that The New York Times calls "utterly addictive".

It's 1996, and Reacher is still in the army. In the morning they give him a medal, and in the afternoon they send him back to school. That night he's off the grid. Out of sight, out of mind.

Two other men are in the classroom - an FBI agent and a CIA analyst. Each is a first-rate operator, each is fresh off a big win, and each is wondering what the hell they are doing there.

Then they find out: A Jihadist sleeper cell in Hamburg, Germany, has received an unexpected visitor - a Saudi courier seeking safe haven while waiting to rendezvous with persons unknown. A CIA asset undercover inside the cell has overheard the courier whisper a chilling message: "The American wants 100 million dollars."

For what? And who from? Reacher and his two new friends are told to find the American. Reacher recruits the best soldier he has ever worked with: Sergeant Frances Neagley. Their mission heats up in more ways than one, but they always keep their eyes on the prize: If they don't get their man, the world will suffer an epic act of terrorism.

From Langley to Hamburg, Jalalabad to Kiev, Night School moves like a bullet through a treacherous landscape of double crosses, faked identities, and new and terrible enemies as Reacher maneuvers inside the game and outside the law.

Narrator

I felt that the narrator was too old a voice for the character. This sometimes distracted me.

Night school

I didn't realize the audible version was abridged and would have not purchased it if I had. So I don't know what I missed. The story was very good as usual and Dick Hill is phenomenal, but I feel empty somehow.

Poor narration

The narrator made this hard to listen to. As for the story, it was the usual Jack Reacher book.

Narrator trying too hard

Too many voices that one cannot understand. Story took too long to unfold. Would like to have my money back on this one.

I'm done w Jack Reacher

I used to read everything Child wrote. No longer. I didn't even finish. Just. So. Boring. Reacher doesn't really fight anymore. He just asks his smart but skeptical female partner a bunch of questions until he figures it out. Every book is the same now. And I'm also over Dick Hill. He sounds drunk and out of breath. Sad end to over a decade with this character for me.

Weak writing!

Not even close to Child's usual writing. It was as though he had used a high school ghost writer. Repetitive dialogue, weak characters, snore!
