About this audiobook

Brought to you by Penguin.


Die Trying is the second book in Lee Child's internationally popular Jack Reacher series, read by Jeff Harding.

Jack Reacher, alone, strolling nowhere.

A Chicago street in bright sunshine. A young woman, struggling on crutches. Reacher offers her a steadying arm.

And turns to see a handgun aimed at his stomach.

Chained in a dark van racing across America, Reacher doesn't know why they've been kidnapped. The woman claims to be FBI. She's certainly tough enough. But at their remote destination, will raw courage be enough to overcome the hopeless odds?

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, Die Trying is the second in the series.

'Cunning, explosive . . . A thumping good read.' Time Out

Ratings and reviews

I have no idea who the narrator of this is, but he makes this almost a comedy. I'm sure you shouldn't laugh at this, but his voices are rediculous. He just has no personality, so flat and boring. There is no way I will buy another of these books on audio. He has ruined this for me. Back to me reading

It was a good adventure with lots of twists. While I enjoyed the story, there were some far-fetched activities, especially between the two main characters. However, on the whole, it's not bad at all.

Good story line.
