Blue Moon

Jack Reacher, Book 24

De: Lee Child

Narrado por: Scott Brick

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Don’t miss the hit streaming series Reacher!

“Jack Reacher is today’s James Bond, a thriller hero we can’t get enough of.”—Ken Follett

“This is a random universe,” Reacher says. “Once in a blue moon things turn out just right.”

This isn’t one of those times.

Reacher is on a Greyhound bus, minding his own business, with no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there. Then he steps off the bus to help an old man who is obviously just a victim waiting to happen. But you know what they say about good deeds. Now Reacher wants to make it right.

An elderly couple have made a few well-meaning mistakes, and now they owe big money to some very bad people. One brazen move leads to another, and suddenly Reacher finds himself a wanted man in the middle of a brutal turf war between rival Ukrainian and Albanian gangs.

Reacher has to stay one step ahead of the loan sharks, the thugs, and the assassins. He teams up with a fed-up waitress who knows a little more than she’s letting on, and sets out to take down the powerful and make the greedy pay. It’s a long shot. The odds are against him. But Reacher believes in a certain kind of justice . . . the kind that comes along once in a blue moon.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY EVENING STANDARD

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Reacher is so irresistible a character that he draws fans from every demographic.”—Booklist (starred review)

“Child is at the top of his game in this nail-biter.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

I miss Dick Hill

I’ve listened to almost all of the Reacher books and for me Dick Hill WAS Reacher. Scott Brick does an ok job but it’s just not the same.

In the age of social media, it will make you think

As always, Reacher is hard to beat. Without giving the details, there are sections of the book that may cause some caution in today’s world of social media.

Descriptive and Intense

Blue Moon


LEE CHILD’s writing is skillfully descriptive and masterfully intense.

The elderly couple has made a few well-meaning mistakes and now they owe some very bad people money. A lot more money than they have. Reacher offers to help and quickly finds himself a wanted man in the middle of a turf war between rival Ukrainian and Albanian gangs.

He teams up with a waitress who knows more that she’s willing to talk about. Together they set out to take down the powerful gangs and make the greedy pay.

REVIEW
This is Jack Reacher #24 and I am happy to say I have loved every single one of Lee Child’s books in this series which started in 1997. Each book is a comfortable and fast read. You know what your going to get when you open the cover. The story is going to be gripping and intense and Reacher is going to make things right. He always does. You may not like how he goes about it, but his rationale makes total sense.

Jack Reacher at six-foot-five is his own man. He is smart, strategic and strong and empathetic. He has the ability to find trouble everywhere he goes. And he will never turn a blind eye to someone who needs help. You’ll want Jack Reacher in your corner when you need help.


LEE CHILD’s writing in Blue Moon is skillfully descriptive and masterfully intense. He makes it easy to visualize the old man with bulging pocket getting off the bus and walking down the street. Reacher takes us on a breathless ride of action and suspense, and easily juggles multiple plot lines before merging them together.

One of the Best

This was a step above the last few books. Really enjoyed this incredible story. Always fun to listen to new Reacher novel

Reacher plus plus

great story as always, performed excellently, the only problem I had is I would get so upset at the bad guys that I had to have to turn it off for 10 or 12 minutes to remind myself it's just a freaking story

Best narration

I used to like all the Jack Reacher books, until someone cast the puny Tom Cruise in the starring role. That was just wrong and I guess I resented that Lee Child didn’t fight for a big guy to be Jack Reacher! So I boycotted the series until about a year ago. I have to say I enjoyed the dialogue in this one very much – very snappy, and I think Scott Brick’s delivery was right on!

Loved it!

Was a great book thanks so much for your wonderful writing talent. Loved that this latest had so much “Reacher Reasoning”.

Legendary Reacher

Easy read. Story is both timely and timeless.Lee Child's hits another one out of the park. Narration is genius. Love Scott Briitt's artistry.

I loved it !

it's been a long time since I read such a good jack reacher novel, Lee Child has delivered in full.

Another WINNER!

Reacher at his finest. Couldn't put it down. Felt like a junkie wanting more. Only bad part was when it was all over.
