About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Read by award-winning narrator Jeff Harding.

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

From Hope to Despair.

Between two small towns in Colorado, nothing but twelve miles of empty road.

All Jack Reacher wants is a cup of coffee. What he gets are four redneck deputies, a vagrancy charge and a trip back to the line.

But Reacher is a big man, and he's in shape.

No job, no address, no baggage. Nothing, except bloody-minded curiosity.

What are the secrets the locals seem so determined to hide?

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, Nothing To Lose is 12th in the series.

'A high-testosterone adventure . . . a page turner. Thrilling.' Observer

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

Critic reviews

A cert to be a number one bestseller.....A version of western, of course: the drifter who comes to town, sorts out the bad guys, and moves on. ..He makes what he does seem simple. If it is, though, it's strange that nobody else has managed it so well.
Follows in the great Philip Marlowe pulp tradition,nuanced with a dash of Rambo and Bruce Willis...Reacher is a moody, modern outsider figure, one of the great antiheroes...a liberal intellectual with machismo, and arms the size of Popeye's.
Classic Child...brilliantly paced ... his tough-but-fair creation, Jack Reacher, both a man's man and a ladies' man, proves once again that he's also his own man. And no one is going to get in his way.
Slots a series of bone-crunching brawls into a surprisingly sinuous and zeitgeisty plot...delivers emotional depth, and Reacher's bare-knuckle sleuthing certainly keeps the adrenalin up.
A high-testosterone adventure with a thoughtful nod to what is going on in Iraq...a page turner. Thrilling.
Reacher fans will love it - it's all storming compounds, breaking hearts and not bothering to take names, taking justice into his own hands and to hell with the wos'name. ..a solid inter-Bond-film substitute.
Child has perfected Reacher's controlled, spare tone...as always, there's lots of bonecrunching and nose-smashing, yet the violence never feels gratuitous.
An unusually political novel, this is as gripping and readable as any in the Reacher series.
It's a testament to Lee Child's superb story-telling skills that...the interest doesn't flag for an instant...Like Reacher, Child doesn't do things by halves.
Gripping and addictive...Reacher's stripped-down life is echoed by Lee Child's lean and spare prose.

Really enjoying the Jack Reacher novels and this one I couldn't stop listening to, the storyline really draws you in, this is the 12th Jack Reacher book and they just keep getting better. Again Jeff Harding does an excellent job of narrating the story, looking forward to the next one!

Excellent

Its a decent story but padded out with way to much superfluous description that just isn’t necessary. If your following the Reacher series in sequence then I’d say go for it it’s worth persevering. If you aren’t particularly bothered about all that then maybes skip this one.

To much description
