Publisher's Summary

Jack is a retired cop who knows and respects firearms. A recent victim of gun violence, she is confined to a wheelchair, getting physical therapy in a rehab facility, and teaching handgun safety and Second Amendment history to the elderly residents. 

A thousand miles away, a very disturbed individual with a modified 9mm pistol, a thousand rounds of ammo, and a singular obsession - to make history as the biggest mass murderer ever - decides to make that fantasy a reality. 

It has been said the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. 

Jack is about to find out if that's true.

it took me almost a year to finish this book

I hate everything about this audible book. Horrible narration. An older writer trying to write how a Gen Z speaks. A hard ass bad ass cop feeling sorry for herself. I hate when you get vested in a series and as the series continues the storyline and writing gets worse. It's as if the writer is doing it for the money and has no new ideas or quests for these characters. I know there are about 3 books after this one in the series and I'm torn. Do I continue or count my losses?

bad narration

not the best jack daniels story but good Segway. needs better narration the like books in the beginning.

Ok attempt...

This might be something for someone but overall I am more than a little disappointed. I feel that the performance would have been better with a female narrator.

Please fire this narrator and bring the old ones back!

The narration was dreadful. It was very hard to decipher who was talking because he didn’t bother to change voices. Please go back to the old narrators - they were great! The book was just ok. It wasn’t the fun Jack Daniels stories we are used to. Jack is really feeling sorry for herself in this one. Hope the old Jack is back for the next one.

Different but informative

The author went a different way with this book than his previous books, not as funny as the rest but he tackles tough issues that are very needed to be talked about in todays society. I’ve followed Jack’s stories since I was a teenager and found this book to be a welcome addition to the collection. Some people may not like it but to each their own. I prefer the narration in his earlier books, with multiple genders but Bob did a good job and it was sort of funny hearing him use ‘plural speak’

Shot Girl

I truly love the Jack Daniels series. Keep up with the good work. I will be reading the next book.

Another great story

You can't do wrong with a Jack Daniel's books always full of action and suspense
