About this listen

The Navy SEALs trained him.

A secret unit of the NCIS recruited him.

Enemies fear him.

For elite undercover operative Jack Widow, the news that someone shot his mother, a small-town sheriff, will unleash him in number one best-selling author Scott Blade's explosive series starter.

Pulled off an undercover assignment, Widow returns home to a small town in Mississippi - a place he tried to forget.

Taken to be a worthless drifter by the locals, Widow uses his skills to uncover the truth about his mother's last investigation. What was she looking for?

What he discovers is an unsolved mystery of missing girls and townspeople harboring a deadly secret - a secret they'll die to protect.

Good thing that Jack Widow will kill to find out what.

Fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp, and Mark Greaney's The Gray Man series will love the Jack Widow action-thriller-mystery series.

If gripping thrillers loaded with mystery, suspense, action, twists, and turns is your thing, then Jack Widow is for you!

Listen to international best seller Scott Blade's first explosive book in the Jack Widow series today.

This story could have been much more. The narration is good. The story flows well, but the depth just wasn't there for me. I'd guessed the plot twists as soon as they were first hinted at and it's a real shame. The pace is good, but so many things don't add up. He's on good terms with his boss, he is some kind of black ops guy.. so why is the whole book a lone-wolf escapade.

Very good narration - shame about the story.

all of it was exciting, moved with great speed and kept me listening. Fine length too.

Great character and super story

This was mildly entertaining but I got irritated towards the end because Jack just made such poor choices which just weren't unbelievable. I could tell there was something off from early on and he took till the end to realise. And he didn't ever get a toothbrush - 4 or 5 days without brushing his teeth? Eeeuw! So OK for a long drive when you need to stay awake but not great.

It's OK

It is read well and is easy to listen to. Overall I enjoyed listening to the book however it does not try to hide the fact that Jack Widow is an attempt to clone Jack Reacher. There are some interesting twists in the story but there were just too many convenient coincidences that keep Jack Widow alive to make it sufficiently credible.

A reasonable listen - another Reacher clone

Everything was a bit convenient for Jack Widow - like a gun store under the burning barn he was locked in. I listened all the way through. It won’t win any awards for literature but it was easy to listen to.

Not Bad
