About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Read by award-winning narrator Jeff Harding.

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

Never forgive, never forget.

Jack Reacher lives for the moment. Without a home. Without commitment. But he has a burning desire to right wrongs - and rewrite his own agonizing past.

Never apologize. Never explain.

When Reacher witnesses a brutal kidnap attempt, he takes the law into his own hands. But a cop dies. Has Reacher lost his sense of right and wrong?

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, Persuader is seventh in the series.

"Ballsy, dynamic and not for the faint-hearted." (Daily Mail)

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

I’m on a Reacher binge: listening to them one after the other. So far, all read by Jeff Harding whose voice I’ve come to identify so strongly with Reacher that listening to a Reacher novel narrated by someone else would leave me with PTSD.

The story opens with Reacher rescuing a kid from an attempted kidnapping, but all is not what it seems. The Luddite Reacher is entrusted with a James Bond-like email device as he infiltrates a dangerous gang. Then Reacher meets his match: someone even bigger and stronger than he is! Though not as charming, and that’s an understatement.

Lots of realistic detail as usual. Lee Child does his homework. I give this 4 stars for story only because the romantic storyline didn’t convince me. An unrequited romance with the gangster’s “moll” would have been more interesting and believable. But the “moll” turns out to be another interesting and unexpected female character.

Trivium: after finishing this audio book, I listened to Dickens’ “Oliver Twist” (a marvelous narration by Jonathan Pryce) and it mentions a “persuader” - a weapon. More than 100 years before Lee Child’s book.

This does not disappoint.

At first I was put off with JRs self narrative and it’s a slow start. Sticking with it was well worth it. Such a great story and one of the best Reachers.

Stick with it
