About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Read by award-winning narrator Jeff Harding.

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

The gripping new Jack Reacher thriller from the No.1 bestselling authors Lee Child and Andrew Child.

When your name is Jack Reacher, the truth is always worth doing time for.


Gerrardsville, Colorado. One tragic event. Two witnesses. Two conflicting accounts. One witness sees a woman throw herself in front of a bus - clearly suicide. The other witness is Jack Reacher. And he sees what really happened - a man in grey hoodie and jeans, swift and silent as a shadow, pushing the victim to her death, before grabbing her bag and sauntering away.

Reacher follows the killer, not knowing that this was no random act of violence. It is part of something much bigger...a sinister, secret conspiracy, with powerful people on the take, enmeshed in an elaborate plot that leaves no room for error. If any step is compromised, the threat will have to be quickly and permanently removed.

Because when the threat is Reacher, there is No Plan B...


'Perfectly plotted, with bigger twists than ever before' KARIN SLAUGHTER

'The world's favourite hero packs an even harder punch than ever' PETER JAMES


Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, No Plan B is the 27th audiobook in the internationally bestselling series.

No Plan B was a No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller in May 2023.

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

Critic reviews

Lee and Andrew Child nail it again with NO PLAN B

No Plan B is not to be missed. A perfectly plotted, fast paced thriller, with bigger twists than ever before.
It's no wonder Jack Reacher is everyone's favourite rebel hero

The world's favourite hero packs an even harder punch than ever.
Contains more chases than James Bond could manage, a plot to keep the reader guessing, and enough bad guys to test Reacher's strength and guile. . .Destined to be another bestseller.

Back to Reacher’s Best. Sentinel was good intro for Andrew but Better Off Dead was horribly formulaic. But this was great. Reacher’s usual calm fury, four plot strands nicely threaded together which weren’t entirely predictable. Still just not sure where the artworks and sculptures came into it. Otherwise superb.

Best Reacher in a Long Time.

The ending of the story felt rushed, as though meeting a publishing deadline was more important than getting a well written ending. A number of loose ends were closed off in a clumsy way, making me, the listener, a little disappointed. The story was a couple of iterations off the quality I am used to in Jack Reacher books.

Narration was in the style I have come to look forward to, and enjoyed that very much

Looking forward to next book but hope quality control issues in story arc addressed...

Enjoyed story but ending a bit clumsy...

Alot of the voices sounded very similar. Why not have Alan Ritchson voice the part of Jack Reacher?

Poor Voice Acting

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Sadly this wasn’t the usual Lee Child standard I’ve come to expect. Jeff Hardings performance was top of the tree, despite the storyline. Still can’t wait for the next book, expecting a return to Lee’s very exciting style.

Not The Best

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Not the best I've heard from the Child crew. A little contrived for my liking.

An OK story
