About this audiobook

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING JACK REACHER SERIES • The inspiration for season two of the hit streaming series Reacher!

“Electrifying . . . this series [is] utterly addictive.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times

From a helicopter high above the California desert, a man is sent free-falling into the night. On the streets of Portland, Jack Reacher is pulled out of his wandering life and plunged into the heart of a conspiracy that is killing old friends . . . and the people he once trusted with his life.

Reacher is the ultimate loner—no phone, no ties, no address. But a woman from his old military unit has found him using a signal only the eight members of their elite team would know. Then she tells him a terrifying story about the brutal death of a man they both served with. Soon Reacher is reuniting with the survivors of his team, scrambling to unravel the sudden disappearance of two other comrades. But Reacher won’t give up—because in a world of bad luck and trouble, when someone targets Jack Reacher and his team, they’d better be ready for what comes right back at them.

Ratings and reviews

Book is great. Story is great. if you like the Reacher series, you will continue to like this one. Dick Hill continues to be the worst fit for this series. Reacher sounds like a grumpy 65 year old man. Hill can not do female characters. All of his accents and villains sound the same. A change in narration would make worlds of improvement. The book itself is otherwise solid.

Another top 5 Reacher novel for me. Love this one. You don't mess with the special investigators.

Good book!!!
