Summary

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.

Reacher revelations

This book, set early in the Reacher saga, reveals hereto hidden sides to Reacher that help round out his character and feed into later stories. Excellent read, narrative and plot.

A great story with strong characters

A great holiday read, leaving you wanting the next book. Great characters both male and female, good and back, pure escapism

A lone avenger.

This is my favourite Reacher book and I have read them all. I decided I needed a book to listen to, as I need a break from the news and real life but I can't sit and read as much as I would like. I am going to download another to listen to. At least this way I get stuff done at the same time!
