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)

At every turn there is more

If you could sum up Gone Tomorrow in three words, what would they be?

This story was exciting, scary, and full of action. Keeps your attention continously.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Gone Tomorrow?

Although there were many memorable moments, the most memorable was when Reacher went to give his form of resolution.

What does Dick Hill bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Dick Hill is Jack Reacher. It is his voice, intonation, and his brand of atcing that makes you feel as if you are there.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

As I continue to listen to the Jack Reacher books, I understand his personality and laugh when I know what he is going to say or do.

Any additional comments?

Thank you, keep making Jack Reacher books!

Jack Reacher in his finest form

The narrator is great, what a great job Dick Hill at his best with this great story I couldn't put it down, LOVED IT

great reading until ......

Like most of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series this grabs you right away and doesn’t let go ! Little disappointed in ending. The book builds to crescendo and then leaves you empty. Reader is excellent.

Over all very good

Maybe best in series

I’ve listened to the series in order and this was one of the best if not the best so far.
Dick Hill is great he could read the NYC phone book and you’d listen.

Who doesn't love a flawed superhero

Guiltiest pleasure! He is a very human Superhero. Yes there are serious moments when you must suspend all belief, but who cares. Reacher is 007, Hemingway, Robin Hood, Han Solo, and every tough guy Steve McQueen and Paul Newman ever played all rolled into one tough wise cracking Boy Scout.

This is one of my favorite books in the series and I have read and listened to every single one written. FUN, action packed, no over involved sex scenes, just Reacher kicking butt and taking no prisioners.

If you are looking for great escapism, look no further!

Dick Hill gets a little dramatic but it works for this series.

Great story

but quiet narration. hard to hear if any background noise. good plot same old jack reacher

Reacher humor

Would you listen to Gone Tomorrow again? Why?

I love the extra sarcastic humor added to Reacher's character. He has just the right dig for the "bad guys."

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Reacher is always in the thick of things. He is always thinking, assessing and moving to the next tense moment.

Have you listened to any of Dick Hill’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Dick Hill has nailed the Jack Reacher character, and makes new characters believable as well.

Captivating!

Lee Child has done it again! I've read or listen to every Jack Reacher novel & have thoroughly enjoyed each one. This new one is of the same high caliber.

Still as great as ever!

This one was just as good as the others! Had to fast forward through some particularly gruesome parts but aside from that, loved the book!

The story continues

This was another great addition to the series. Some of the activity is predictable but it keeps you entertained with a very good plot, plot twist and character development. I will definitely continue the series.
