Worth Dying For

Jack Reacher, Book 15

By: Lee Child

Narrated by: Dick Hill

Length: 13 hrs and 45 mins

Publisher's summary

Number one New York Times best seller.

The blockbuster Jack Reacher series that inspired two major motion pictures and the upcoming streaming series Reacher.

There’s deadly trouble in the corn country of Nebraska...and Jack Reacher walks right into it. First he falls foul of the Duncans, a local clan that has terrified an entire county into submission. But it’s the unsolved case of a missing child, already decades old, that Reacher can’t let go.

The Duncans want Reacher gone - and it’s not just past secrets they’re trying to hide. They’re awaiting a secret shipment that’s already late - and they have the kind of customers no one can afford to annoy. For as dangerous as the Duncans are, they’re just the bottom of a criminal food chain stretching halfway around the world.

For Reacher, it would have made much more sense to keep on going, to put some distance between himself and the hard-core trouble that’s bearing down on him. For Reacher, that was also impossible.

Take another thrill ride with Jack Reacher.

Critic reviews

“Jack Reacher is the coolest continuing series character now on offer.” (Stephen King, in Entertainment Weekly)

“The truth about Reacher gets better and better.” (Janet Maslin, The New York Times)

“Implausible, irresistible Reacher remains just about the best butt-kicker in thriller-lit.” ( Kirkus Reviews)

Fantastic reading!

Narrated so well that I thought I was watching a movie! Can’t wait for the next book!

Reacher is back..Stronger than ever!!!!

Lee Child and Dick Hill are an unbeatable combination. This collaberation is reminiscent of the earlier Reacher books-and I couldn't be happier. And how better to portray that character than to give him a cavalier attitude towards all things permanent. A drifter who hitch-hikes throughout the US carrying maybe some money, a comb and toothbrush.

When he needs a change of clothes, he buys a new set and throws the old set away. (You would know this if you read all the previous Reacher books).
Not a care in the world. No responsibilities. And yet, when he stumbles upon evil doings in strange towns, he cannot just pass on by. Reacher feels compelled to tackle evil and right all wrongs before moving on.

This is the Jack Reacher I have come to love. Wow. Talk about a modern day hero. This is not your average, rich, James Bond character with fancy toys at his feet. Reacher reminds me a bit of John Wayne in those old Westerns where he always rescues the damsel in distress. Only, in this series, Reacher rescues entire communities.

I hope Lee Child never stops writing about Jack Reacher. And, of course, we could never do without Dick Hill's talent and ability to bring such a multi-faceted character to life in a big way. Thanks so much for a fabulous story. I could not put it down. The suspense kept growing right til the end. I listened to it all the way thru. Can't wait until the next book!! P.S. As someone who carries everything she owns when she travels, I spend lots of time trying to imagine making do with just what is in my pocket--never happen!!

Another home run for Lee Child

I am amazed at how well the Jack Reacher series is holding up. I love the character, the stories are great fun, and most of all Lee Child is a very good writer, something that is often lacking in the genre. This installment of the Jack Reacher series is great. It is loaded with excitement and suspense and is as well done as any previously written and I cannot wait for the next installment in the series.

Great listen

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Really enjoyed this book. Lots of action, and Jack is a hero as usual. Very satisfying overall.

Reacher's Back

In the last novel, Reacher wasn't as impressive as he was before, but in this novel He's Back and tougher. I can't wait until the next book comes out!

Great Book

This is the first Reacher book I've ever read and I thought it was fantastic! I loved the narrator too. He was very exciting. I could hardly put it down. I look forward to downloading more of these books.

great story of Reacher righting a tremendous wrong

another great tale of the wandering Reacher taking on the bad guy to stand up for those who can't do it for themselves. great book

Reacher is at his best and worst!

If you enjoy the adventures of Jack Reacher and the storytelling of Lee Child, you will really enjoy Dick Hill's reading of this action packed book. See if you can guess what product is being smuggled into the US before it is revealed to you! A truly enjoyable read/listen!
