What the critics say

“Opens with a bang.” (Chicago Tribune)

“Lee Child’s knowledge of the modern military and its combat tactics amazed me. A chilling and all-too realistic story, and a damn good book.” (Steve Thayer)

Good book, Glocks don't have safety switches. Not a big problem, just detail oriented, I guess.

Not the best narrator unfortunately. I found it really hard to listen to him. Good job it’s a good story and I forgot all about him

The plot is a typical Jack Reacher but the narration is a poor imitation of a Jimmy Cagney impression. I kept expecting to hear “You dirty rats..you’ll never take me alive”

I like the Jack Reacher novels but will not get another with this narrator.

This is the first book that made me panic. I really enjoyed it. If you read or listen to this you will know the spot I’m referring too. Awesome listen!!

This narrator should be informed that it is offensive to hear his white attempt at voicing a Chinese woman. This is the 21st century, McLean. The horrible French was almost as despicable. The story itself was good.

This non-Asian and non-French narrator should not mimic accents and learn how to pronounce French when reading French.

This story has amazing imagery.. first 1/2 chapter I wasn’t sure about the narrator, since it’s different from book 1… but than he disappeared and the story took over… VERY WELL DONE!!!

Amazingly written story

This book was an entertaining listen. I would have given the book a 5-star rating but I didn’t find the story as gripping as most of the Jack Reacher stories. Regardless, for anyone interested in action-adventure books, it was still very good.

Very Good!

I had mixed reviews about this book mostly about the caliber of narration but found it to be quite enjoyable. In fact I had purchased book 3 within listening to only 3 hours of book 2. Definitely word a listen the story telling is very good and it’s not easy to assume what’s going to happen

Enjoyable
