Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.


Two small towns in Colorado: Hope and Despair. Between them, nothing but twelve miles of empty road. Jack Reacher can't find a ride, so he walks. All he wants is a cup of coffee. What he gets are four redneck deputies who want to run him out of town.

Mistake. They're picking on the wrong guy. Jack Reacher is a big man, and he's in shape. No job, no address, no baggage. Nothing, except bloody-minded curiosity. What is the secret the locals seem so keen to hide?

A hard man is good to find. Ex-military cop Reacher is today's most addictive hero. Now he pulls on a tiny loose thread, to unravel conspiracies that expose the most shocking truths. Because, after all, Jack Reacher has nothing to lose.

_________

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

Bit pedestrian and fanciful tale

Would you listen to Nothing to Lose again? Why?

Wouldn't listen again as unlike the other Reacher novels it has poor character development , little emotional connection and fanciful story.

What will your next listen be?

Simon Kernick - Stay alive

Have you listened to any of Jeff Harding’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Good performance by jeff harding but struggles to work with poor material.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No part of the book really engaged me emotionally and the whole experience left an insubstantial feeling.

Any additional comments?

After listening to all the reacher novels so far this has made me want to take a long wait before trying book 13.

Not the best

I’m ploughing through all the reacher books at a rate of knots and have enjoyed them all, but this one was a little long winded for me. It felt like the story had been unnecessarily beefed up with overly descriptive scenes ( what the rear of a ‘U Haul’ truck looks like for instance ), I wouldn’t go back to it. Jeff Harding was the master as per usual. Roll on the next one!!

I enjoyed every second of this book.

I am hooked on the Jack Reacher series. I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to get started on the next one. There is just so much description that it paints pictures in your head so you can visualise every minute of the journey through the book. Audio books are one of my favourite findings.

Not particularly gooc

Typical Reacher. But, big but. Athough not a brilliant story, it's well written and beautifully narrated.

To much description

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.

Frighteningly plausible

Even years after it was written this scenario is realistic and plausible but dealt with in Reachers inimitable way. Can’t wait for the next in the series

Slower than normal but builds well

A slower Reacher than normal but builds to a fantastic finish, well worth sticking with it in my view

Great action, weaker mystery

I’m reading/listening to all the Jack Reachers in order of release. The series is very enjoyable. I would say though this story and the eventual mystery uncovered by Reacher was far more plodding than in previous outings. There was rarely a sense of real risk or danger that’d been present in his previous outings and therefore propelled the story forward. That said the fight sequences were excellent, some of the best written in the series. The voice acting was on the whole very good, the female voices could probably use a female actor!
