About this ebook
'Cunning, explosive . . . A thumping good read.' Time Out
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 read in any order, Die Trying is the 2nd in the series.
And be sure not to miss Reacher's newest adventure, no.29, In Too Deep! ***OUT NOW**

Awesome! A thrilling ride from start to finish, I even felt like I was the one trapped in the mine tunnel, my heart was pounding so fast! Thoroughly gripping read.

A great read, but I think the story got stuck at a couple of points. There were a few repeated failures for Jack to face, almost like he was actively avoiding learning from his mistakes. I didn't like the switch from 1st person as was the format of the first book, but once I'd read the first few pages the story drew me in. Glad I've read it, and will likely read again.

I've read a few Jack Reacher novels, and quite enjoyed them, but this one leaves me feeling the author was filling pages, rather than telling the story. The first 200 pages were readable, but then the author fell into over describing irrelevant information, repeatedly. 4 times in as many pages, we were told how one specific type of firearm Reacher was carrying, and why he preferred it. The story then didn't progress until the last 80 pages.. I couldn't finish this novel.
