Publisher's summary

Two lonely towns in Colorado: Hope and Despair. Between them, 12 miles of empty road. Jack Reacher never turns back. It's not in his nature. All he wants is a cup of coffee. What he gets is big trouble. So in Lee Child’s electrifying new novel, Reacher - a man with no fear, no illusions, and nothing to lose - goes to war against a town that not only wants him gone, it wants him dead.

It wasn’t the welcome Reacher expected. He was just passing through, minding his own business. But within minutes of his arrival a deputy is in the hospital and Reacher is back in Hope, setting up a base of operations against Despair, where a huge, seething walled-off industrial site does something nobody is supposed to see...where a small plane takes off every night and returns seven hours later...where a garrison of well-trained and well-armed military cops - the kind of soldiers Reacher once commanded - waits and watches...where above all two young men have disappeared and two frightened young women wait and hope for their return.

Joining forces with a beautiful cop who runs Hope with a cool hand, Reacher goes up against Despair - against the deputies who try to break him and the rich man who tries to scare him - and starts to crack open the secrets, starts to expose the terrifying connection to a distant war that’s killing Americans by the thousand.

Now, between a town and the man who owns it, between Reacher and his conscience, something has to give. And Reacher never gives an inch.

Nothing to Lose

As always Lee Child did a wonderful job of keeping me on the edge of my seat. There's nothing quite like a Jack Reacher novel to entertain and keep me wanting more.

Always Like Reacher

As with all the other series of Reacher, this one was also a winner... waiting for another on to come out..since I have all the other ones.

Nothing to Lose so read and or listen.

I like Jack Reacher books. Jack is so much like Tom Cruise. On audible he sounds taller

Disappointed in Ending

Disappointed in Reacher’s ability to stop the dirty bomb with his knowledge of dirty bombs, the evidence he could have obtained (Geiger counter with fuji film photograph), and resolve with his Army MPs could have prevented he detonation of a dirty bomb.

good story

this whole series is very good and I enjoy listening while driving. the character development is always good and easy to follow.

Not the best

This was not as good as most of the other Jack Reacher books I've read. The story wasn't as good

Slooooooooow moving

This is the slowest moving of all of the Reacher series so far. All the trips back and forth between the cities described in painstaking detail...I had to make myself finish this book. Best thing about it? It’s over.

Frequent Listener

Not my favorite, I have listened to series in order, this one wasn't as engaging as the other 12 I've already either read or listened to. Story line about a town named Despair and the horrible things going on there were a little out there for a Jack Reacher book. Strange is all I can say.

good read

enjoyable reacher story and usual twists and turns. I recommend and hope you all enjoy too

Not the best

This was the weakest book in the series so far for me. It took quite a bit of effort to finish it, because it was not really keeping you interested.
