About this listen

Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Fourth Man by Lee Child, read by Jeff Harding.

THE BRAND NEW JACK REACHER STAND-ALONE SHORT STORY THAT SEES REACHER GOING DOWN UNDER FOR THE FIRST TIME - BUT POSSIBLY NOT THE LAST. It's a short read, but perfect for a coffee break.

Jack Reacher, ex-military drifter of no fixed abode, is stalked and tracked down by an FBI agent. She tells him that in a house raid in Sydney, Australian law enforcement found a list. There were four people on it, including him. The other three are dead.

Hours later, Reacher is in the air, on his way to Sydney. What was the evil buried twenty-five years ago, that has now resurfaced? Will Reacher be able to find the killers, before they find him?

An all too brief slice of Reacher.. I'm really not keen on these short stories.. it's pretty much like film companies and directors using scenes from a film which was consigned originally consigned to the cutting room floor.. Childs probably pumped this out over coffee on morning.. a thin effortless piece.. a little effort and he could produce something which much more substance more than once a year.. Narration as always up to par and polished.

Brief..!

The story was good, typical Lee Child, but oh the reading, has this man ever read a story out loud in his life, it is appalling the emphasis was all over the place and the character voices were comical, was that really meant to be an Australian accent? I never want to hear another Audible book if this is the general standard!

Probably the worst reading of a book I have ever heard

Thought perhaps a short story of Reacher wouldn't be enough or how would it start. Pleasantly surprised. Different. I would recommend for anyone wanting to get into Reacher books as a taster.

Always a pleasure

Good but too short and a little bit cliche. Nothing characteristic, that would make you remember it few days later.

Good, but too short.
