Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Read by award-winning narrator Jeff Harding.

**NOW A MAJOR PRIME TV SERIES STARRING ALAN RITCHSON**

Jack Reacher walks alone.

No job, no ID, no last known address. But he never turns down a plea for help. Now a woman tracks him down. A woman serving at the very heart of US power. A woman who needs Reacher's assistance in her new job.

Her job?

Protecting the Vice-President of the United States.

Her problem?

Someone wants the VP dead.

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, Without Fail is the 6th in the series.

'Lee Child's protagonist, Jack Reacher, is a hero in the Dirty Harry style, a man who lives by his own principles . . . Produces a surprising twist when it's least expected.' Sunday Telegraph

‘Jeff Harding’s [...] narration captures Reacher’s character perfectly [...] you have to savour every minute.’ The Sunday Times

nearly as good as a read

The only thing that spoiled my enjoyment was the narrators attempt at the various accents

Another Reacher...

I do like the Jack Reacher series although I can't help thinking it is the same ol' formula for each book and feels less original each time. Still won't stop me getting the next one. Wasn't a huge fan of the ending of this one but it's not truly awful either, if you like the series, you'll like this. I really like Jeff Harding as a narrator, I think he suits the books well. My only criticism would be that the female characters all sound the same to me. Overall a pretty solid listen though :-).

2nd best one (so far)

I am continuing to work through the Reacher books in order, a bit late to the party I know, and this us definitely another strong one. From book 3 onwards the mystery element has increased and it adds significantly to the page turning element, or the audio equivalent. I still think The Visitor is my favourite so far but this is no.2. I do miss the proper chapters though, I assume the book just doesn't have any but chapters are helpful when listening on a commute. This book has minimal adult content and is probably safe for 12+, although thematically probably reads a bit older.

Wonderfully implausible nonsense

What did you like most about Without Fail?

Our hero's absolute commitment to the cause and this story's showcasing of his knowledge and background

Would you recommend Without Fail to your friends? Why or why not?

Yes, because if you're reading the Reacher series, why would you miss one out, even though this isn't the best I've listened to so far

What does Jeff Harding bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Harding has a very good voice for narration and tempo

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Not particularly

Jeff Harding is Reacher!

I have loved all recordings with J H as narrator simply because he is also an actor who creates a splendid mind image of the story.

Gripping

great story with masses of detail, could have been improved by having a second reader for the female voices.
