Publisher's summary

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • THE BLOCKBUSTER JACK REACHER SERIES THAT INSPIRED TWO MAJOR MOTION PICTURES AND THE STREAMING SERIES REACHER

“High-powered, intricately wrought suspense.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times

New York City. Two in the morning. A subway car heading uptown. Jack Reacher, plus five other passengers. Four are okay. The fifth isn’t. And if you think Reacher isn’t going to get involved . . . then you don’t know Jack.

Susan Mark, the fifth passenger, had a big secret, and her plain little life was being watched in Washington, and California, and Afghanistan—by dozens of people with one thing in common: They’re all lying to Reacher. A little. A lot. Or just enough to get him killed. A race has begun through the streets of Manhattan, a maze crowded with violent, skilled soldiers on all sides of a shadow war. For Jack Reacher, a man who trusts no one and likes it that way, the finish line comes when you finally get face-to-face and look your worst enemy in the eye.

“Propulsive . . . [Child is] an expert at ratcheting up tension.”—Los Angeles Times

“Hold on tight. . . . This novel will give you whiplash as you rabidly turn pages. . . . May be [Lee Child’s] best.”—USA Today

Take another thrill ride with Jack Reacher.

Critic reviews

“The ever-resourceful and vengeful Reacher takes on nearly a score of the bad guys in an exciting climax to an enthralling book . . . complete with cover-ups and numerous intriguing twists.”—Library Journal (starred review)

“A superb New York novel . . . Child grounds his hero’s hard body and hard-drive brain in believable detail, and he sets the action against a precisely described landscape.”—Booklist (starred review)

“All good thriller writers know how to build suspense and keep the pages turning, but only better ones deliver tight plots as well, and only the best allow the reader to match wits with both the hero and the author. Bestseller Child does all of that in spades. . . . [He] sets things up subtly and ingeniously, then lets Reacher use both strength and guile to find his way to the exciting climax.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

One of the best Jack Reacher books yet

Well written and performed. But, what else would you expect from Lee Child’s Jack Reacher?

Best work yet!

The plot was well developed and, unlike some other authors, believably plausible. I truely enjoy how Lee Child can draw out a seconds-long scene with such fine detail that brings the reader into the mind of his character. Reacher is one of my favorite characters, I look forward to more excellent books from this author. Meanwhile, this is definately a book to revisit!

Best of the Series!

This is one of only a few books out of hundreds that I felt compelled to read more than once. Lee Child should have won an award for the opening scene alone; it's brilliant! The tension starts on page one and the author slowly teases the reader on. This is not a book to listen to in the background, but one that is best enjoyed without any distractions. In fact, I listened to the book the first time a year ago, then read the kindle version recently and it was better the second time around ... deceivingly complex. As another reviewer mentioned, this is not a book full of B-movie scenes and big explosions... it is more grounded in reality and has a well researched background. Loved it!

Oh MY Word!

What a great book by Child and Dick Hill's narration of all the characters is superb as usual! I can't wait for the next book about the adventures of Jack Reacher to come out. Well worth the full price of a download if your credits are used up.

edge of seat

Love the charactor, and this book was on the money.

Gone Tomorrow

Absolutely brilliant. Lee Child is as good as ever and the reading by Dick Hill is outstanding. I have listened to all the other Jack Reacher novels and this is the *best*. Tim

another great Reacher book

Like every other Jack Reacher book, you get hooked from the very beginning. Dick Hill's reading style is perfect. I couldn't imagine a Reacher audiobook without him.

Typical Child/Reacher Story

While not the best of breed, it is generally quite good. Much better than some of the other options out there.

Another Winner

For any fan of Lee Child's character Jack Reacher, it's pretty much impossible to not love any one of his books. In this book (the first one to my knowledge) Reacher acts as narrator of the story himself and it works well. Also, Child ventures into deeper literary territory in this book by bringing a geo-political backgdrop to the story. Reacher, as usual, is minding his own business when he gets mixed up in a plot that involves a long kept secret that is being protected by the DOD, the FBI, and a high-profile senator. The bad guys in this book? Al-Qaeda. Child delivers this plot successfully with strong research and some grueling realities of the world of terrorism. As expected, Reacher takes on this evil, abberant group with the same aplomb that he has with far lesser foes. Great book!

Kept me listening

One of my favorite in the series. Definitely would recommend to Fans of the series.
