Nothing to Lose (Jack Reacher Novels) 68 reviews

Everything to Gain
Nothing to Lose (NTL) takes an old theme and revamps it into a modern masterpiece. It's very similar to the original Rambo movie, where an ex-military specialist finds himself wandering into a small town, is picked up by the local sheriff and escorted to the town line and told that drifters aren't welcome; of course Rambo returns to town and blows everything up. In NTL Reacher is treated ...

Brilliant Reacher book
I have now read all Lee Child`s Reacher books and will look forward to the next one. Brilliant entertainment, not too serious just good old escapism.....if you enjoy Child and Reacher try Soft Target by Conrad Jones, similar genre, far more punch!!!

Some Insights
I am reading the series in order. I think this was the best one yet. It leaves my very excited to continue the Reacher series. We began to see more depth in Reacher as he struggles with understanding himself. The story moves forward at a wonderful pace. It was just great. While reading this I had the opportunity to hear Lee Child speak. He gave some insights that I think will be helpful. ...

Reacher undercover
The story starts with Reacher intervening in a kidnapping attempt and mistakenly wounds and kills a local detective. Now what? Well, he can't go to the police with his story since he killed an officer, so he dumps the van he's using, hot-wires a car parked at a mall and goes into hiding. The story develops from there.
I don't know where or how Lee Child comes up with these story lines, but ...

Jack Reacher takes on a militant militia group in Montana
Lee Child took the world of literary thrillers by surprise--and by storm--with his excellent debut novel, Killing Floor. Child's first book introduced readers to Jack Reacher, ex-military cop turned rugged-individualist vigilante. Written in first person and featuring nonstop action, Killing Floor delighted readers and created new Lee Child fans in the U.S. and around the world.

Jack and the Sniper
When there's a treat you can only enjoy on rare occasion, you may wait a bit to indulge in it. The anticipation heightens the pleasure, and when you finally get to it, you need to be careful not to have it disappear too quickly. Such are Lee Child's Jack Reacher books with me: delights I can only read once a year or so, lest I run out of them too quickly.
One Shot, the ninth Reacher book, ...

THE HARD WAY
I chose this book because I wanted to listen to a book while I worked out. My local librarian suggested THE HARD WAY when I said I wanted a thriller, adventure type novel. I was not disappointed. After starting the story I became so interested in the plot that even after I finished my work-out I kept listening through some housework I had to do. And I couldn't stop listening so I dreamed up more ...

Thrilled to have this one available!
There are a few reasons you should read this book. First, it is likely you will get a taste of the writings of authors you otherwise would not have ever tried.
Second, there are variations here on what defines a "thriller." Don't be prejudiced by your own definition of the term -- read these with an open mind to possibilities.
Third, if your life is as hectic as mine, it is great to be able ...

Lee Child CD Collection1.
I first met Jack Reacher listening to the audio version of Lee Child's "Hard Way" and immediately wanted to read or hear more of his books, based on this character. I readily ordered the Lee Child CD Collection 1, happy to learn that such collections existed. As soon as I finish one Reacher novel I'm ready for the next. This character is a likeable loner, ex-military police, a highly ...

Another absolute classic Jack Reacher book, brilliant reading by the master again. If you enjoyed this then try Soft Target by Conrad Jones it will give any other thriller a run for its money I thought it was similar to Lee Child stories. A brilliant new Author and maybe the new Lee Child !!!

They are Abridged
First off not a fan of abridged books as you lose the depth of what the writer is doing in painting you a mental image. That said this is a great deal for Reacher fans who want a quick listen to three great stories. If you are looking as a first time reader of the Jack Reacher stories, I would recommend the actual books or unabridged versions also available on Amazon. I started with Tripwire and ...
