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

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.

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

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

An OK story

I’ve enjoyed jack reacher’s tales, but the last few books have been more brutal than previously. For a man who is around 60 years old and nomadic, he’s amazingly fit and strong. He seems to be able to get away with murder, house breaking, law breaking and other random acts without batting an eyelid.
All is now too far beyond reasonable fiction I feel.
Narration is good as usual- slightly cynical but animated.

More brutal than previously

This follows the typical Reacher formula so not sure why people are upset. Sure it is modernised a bit, but this is the same old Reacher getting up to his usual hobo high jinks.
That being said, this is a very entertaining story. Jeff Harding is brilliant as the Jack Reacher narrator

Not sure why such bad reviews

This my 3rd Jack Reacher listening via Audible & yet again didn’t enjoy the narration. All the villains sound like dysfunctional idiots & there’s no va va boom in the story telling. I’ve already preordered the next book so guess will need to bite the bullet if same narrator.

Needs a new narrator
