THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING JACK REACHER SERIES • The inspiration for season two of the hit streaming series Reacher!

“Electrifying . . . this series [is] utterly addictive.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times

From a helicopter high above the California desert, a man is sent free-falling into the night. On the streets of Portland, Jack Reacher is pulled out of his wandering life and plunged into the heart of a conspiracy that is killing old friends . . . and the people he once trusted with his life.

Reacher is the ultimate loner—no phone, no ties, no address. But a woman from his old military unit has found him using a signal only the eight members of their elite team would know. Then she tells him a terrifying story about the brutal death of a man they both served with. Soon Reacher is reuniting with the survivors of his team, scrambling to unravel the sudden disappearance of two other comrades. But Reacher won’t give up—because in a world of bad luck and trouble, when someone targets Jack Reacher and his team, they’d better be ready for what comes right back at them.©2007 Lee Child; (P)2007 Random House, Inc.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for the Jack Reacher series

“The truth about Reacher gets better and better. . . . This series [is] utterly addictive.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times

“Jack Reacher is today’s James Bond, a thriller hero we can’t get enough of. I read every one as soon as it appears.”—Ken Follett

“Reacher is the stuff of myth. . . . One of this century’s most original, tantalizing pop-fiction heroes.”—The Washington Post

“I’m a fan.”—James Patterson

“The Reacher novels are easily the best thriller series going.”—NPR

“Reacher is a man for whom the phrase moral compass was invented: His code determines his direction. . . . You need Jack Reacher.”—The Atlantic

“I pick up Jack Reacher when I’m in the mood for someone big to solve my problems.”—Patricia Cornwell

“[A] feverishly thrilling series . . . You can always count on furious action.”—Miami Herald

Not much action until the end.

Most of the book is learning about and trying to solve the mystery, which was ok, not great. But I enjoyed it because I like hanging out with Reacher. Then the last two hours were great - lots of fun, well done tough guy action.

Again you need to suspend disbelief for a few things. Most of that I didn’t mind, but I had a little trouble with this one. I found it hard to believe that Naegley with all her contacts didn’t even try to use a hacker to break the password protection on a flash drive. Instead the group was guessing passwords which resulted in erasing info on two flash drives.

The ending was excellent and feel good.

Could there be a real Reacher out there?

Another great Jack Reacher story. The story was a bit complicated and as usual you could not predict the outcome. There were a couple of scenes that were somewhat unbelievable and I did find myself thinking "there is no way anyone would come to that conclusion". Doesn't matter though, it was still a good book.

Great story and narration.

Where does Bad Luck and Trouble rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Not his best but in the top 5. Dick Hill does a great job.

Any additional comments?

Get past the first chapter and then it will make sense.

A fun Reacher novel that is vey engaging.

Exceeded my expectations and I got to know Reacher's old crew. Audiobook holds your attention I had to listen after hours as I was hooked.

Need more friends like Reacher

I like the Jack Reacher franchise and this was actually the first book from the series I listened to and have been hooked ever since! Dick Hill is the voice of Reacher and hope that Lee never changes the reader.

Reacher leaves no comrades behind and his "code" for justice is consistent throughout the series. All of our heroes need flaws in order to make them identifiable--in Reacher's case it is his weakness for the fairer sex.

Get this book--you will not be disappointed.
