About this audiobook

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Don’t miss the hit streaming series Reacher

Jack Reacher is back! The “utterly addictive” (The New York Times) series continues as acclaimed author Lee Child teams up with his brother, Andrew Child, fellow thriller writer extraordinaire.

“One of the many great things about Jack Reacher is that he’s larger than life while remaining relatable and believable. The Sentinel shows that two Childs are even better than one.”—James Patterson

As always, Reacher has no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there. One morning he ends up in a town near Pleasantville, Tennessee.

But there’s nothing pleasant about the place.

In broad daylight Reacher spots a hapless soul walking into an ambush. “It was four against one” . . . so Reacher intervenes, with his own trademark brand of conflict resolution.

The man he saves is Rusty Rutherford, an unassuming IT manager, recently fired after a cyberattack locked up the town’s data, records, information . . . and secrets. Rutherford wants to stay put, look innocent, and clear his name.

Reacher is intrigued. There’s more to the story. The bad guys who jumped Rutherford are part of something serious and deadly, involving a conspiracy, a cover-up, and murder—all centered on a mousy little guy in a coffee-stained shirt who has no idea what he’s up against.

Rule one: if you don’t know the trouble you’re in, keep Reacher by your side.

I've read/listened to all of the Reacher novels now, and I was worried that with Lee Child handing this series off to his brother that it might be a mistake as I've grown very accustomed to the way these novel are written however after this novel I'm certain that the series will go on without too much difference. This story is great, it's action and thriller blended into a nice tense and interesting plot. If you liked 'Make Me' or 'The Midnight Line' this book/audiobook is for you.

It's not fair to give this book a 1 star rating because someone couldn't find a different book they preferred. I've listened to all of the Jack Reacher books, and enjoyed them all. I look forward to the new books when they come, and ask for gift cards at Christmas specifically to get the new ones. I gave the 5th star back. The "tinny" sound was from my cheap pc speakers. In the car the audio is great.
