Publisher's Summary

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

“The best one yet.”—Stephen King

Someone has tried to kill the French president. How many snipers can shoot from three-quarters of a mile with total confidence? John Kott—a U.S. Army marksman gone bad—is one of them. After fifteen years in prison, he’s out . . . and there’s a G8 summit coming up, packed with enough world leaders to tempt any assassin.

If anyone can stop Kott, it’s the man who beat him before: Jack Reacher. And though he’d rather work alone, Reacher is teamed with rookie analyst Casey Nice. They’re facing a rough road, full of local thugs, double-crosses, and no backup if things go wrong. Reacher never gets too close. But this time it’s personal.

This edition includes the bonus short story “Not a Drill.”

What the critics say

“Reacher is the stuff of myth, a great male fantasy. . . . One of this century’s most original, tantalizing pop-fiction heroes . . . [Lee] Child does a masterly job of bringing his adventure to life with endless surprises and fierce suspense.”—The Washington Post

“Yet another satisfying page-turner.”—Entertainment Weekly

“Reacher is always up for a good fight, most entertainingly when he goes mano a mano with a seven-foot, 300-pound monster of a mobster named Little Joey. But it’s Reacher the Teacher who wows here.”—Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times

Jack Reacher is Jack Reacher

I am listening to all the Jack Reacher novels. Predictable but fun.
My advice: Listen at a speed of 1.5x or higher. Narrator's voice is much too slow at 1.0x and will put you to sleep. The higher speed makes the story move at a thriller speed which is, I'm sure, the way Lee Child meant it to be read.

Less appealing than other Reacher selections

Good story, but seemed to me to drag for much of the second half. Narration from Dick gets top marks again.

Disappointed

Not one of his best. The story line was weak. Not enough physical action. Reacher usually get into more trouble.

Another Success

Lee Child does it again. The novel is well written and the narration by Dick Hill is a home run. A must listen for any Jack Reacher fan or for anyone wanting to dip their toes into life and times of Mr. Reacher.

great plot, twisting events

the plot is unusual, the detail and minutia about assassins and weapons is mostly fascinating, sometimes boring, and the plot twists keeping you thinking about the end game.

Worst Reacher book - just a bunch of filler

Worst Reacher book. About 2 chapters of story and the rest was just a bunch of filler.

Typical Reacher

Decent story, nothing special. I do have to say I was disappointed in the narration I listen to a lot of audiobooks and this was my least favourite narrator.
