À propos de cet audio
Number one New York Times best seller • Jack Reacher is back in a brand-new thriller from acclaimed number one best-selling authors Lee Child and Andrew Child.
Digging graves had not been part of my plans when I woke up that morning.
Reacher goes where he wants, when he wants. That morning he was heading west, walking under the merciless desert sun — until he comes upon a curious scene. A Jeep has crashed into the only tree for miles around. A woman is slumped over the wheel.
Dead? No, nothing is what it seems.
The woman is Michaela Fenton, an army veteran turned FBI agent trying to find her twin brother, who might be mixed up with some dangerous people. Most of them would rather die than betray their terrifying leader, who has burrowed his influence deep into the nearby border town, a backwater that has seen better days. The mysterious Dendoncker rules from the shadows, out of sight and under the radar, keeping his dealings in the dark.
He would know the fate of Fenton’s brother.
Reacher is good at finding people who don’t want to be found, so he offers to help, despite feeling that Fenton is keeping secrets of her own. But a life hangs in the balance. Maybe more than one. But to bring Dendoncker down will be the riskiest job of Reacher's life. Failure is not an option, because in this kind of game, the loser is always better off dead.

“The mixture of brute-force and intellectual problem-solving is just right.” (Booklist)
“Smart writing, vivid action scenes, and dramatic twists mark this seamless effort. Even those for whom this is their first Reacher novel will be clamoring for more.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
“Lee Child and Andrew Child return for another jointly written Reacher adventure. . . . Andrew Child smoothly slips into the signature minimalist prose of the iconic series, picking up just where his brother leaves off, for a book that should please old stalwarts and new fans alike.” (CrimeReads)

Disappointing. Didn’t capture the essence of Reacher

I gave ‘The Sentinel’ a mulligan. It was not godawful, but the Reacher experience has changed. At first I thought it may have been the Scott Brick narration. He’s too…textured?…for Reacher. Always emoting too much into scenes that would normally be described evenly and straight forward by Dick Hill. He has always been the voice of Reacher for me. Plain. Simple. Straight forward. Like Reacher.
But it was more than that.
I just think now, that the character is in the hands of a significantly lesser writer. I compare it to when James Patterson started putting his name on books he didn’t write.
Andrew is trying to say too much. And that’s not Reacher. Reacher says nothing.
I’m going to solider on, because I owe it to the series. But with less than an hour gone and over 8 hours to go, I think it’s going to be a slog.
Sad. But it was fun while it lasted, Reacher.
Oh, what has happened to my favourite series?
