Story
Ex-Special Forces operator Tom Keeler is a rambling man. He’s just passing through the town of Alencourt, France, and in less than an hour, someone tries to kill him. Nice place, nice try. But it’s a case of mistaken identity, and they picked the wrong guy. The French police can’t be trusted, except for the beautiful Cecile Nazari. She finds out fast that keeping up with Keeler is a dangerous occupation. Because someone’s preying on the weak and unprotected. Someone murderous. But they never counted on coming up against a guy like Keeler.

Nome: Jack Reacher, ex agente della polizia militare, un vero duro, onesto, coraggioso, praticamente una leggenda vivente. Luogo: Margrave, una tranquilla cittadina della Georgia rurale, dove non succede niente, dove è difficile immaginare che qualcosa possa succedere. Ora, quasi per caso, sull'onda di un vago ricordo, Jack arriva a Margrave, proprio nel momento in cui viene scoperto un efferato delitto. Mezz'ora dopo viene arrestato per omicidio. Ma Jack non ha ucciso nessuno, perlomeno non a Margrave.

Now, with no family and free from the military's command structure, Reece applies the lessons that he's learned in over a decade of constant warfare toward revenge.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Reacher never backs down from a problem.
And he's about to find a big one, on a deserted road in Arizona, where a car has crashed into the only tree for miles around.
Minutes later, Reacher is heading into town. To introduce himself to the shadowy crew who made it happen.
Their boss has a terrifying reputation, and the stakes are high. Just to get in and meet him, Reacher is going to have to achieve the impossible.
To get answers will be even harder. There are people in this hostile, empty place who would rather die than reveal their secrets.
But then, if Reacher is coming after you, you might be better off dead.

Oh dear, what a disappointment
I persevered but was just unable to finish this audio book.
Maybe it was the performer, whom I would characterise as ‘modern American macho’ and to whom every truncated sentence, finished on a flourished emphasis, was like fingernails across a chalkboard.
Or maybe it was the facile and simplistic - and disjointed - plot line.
‘Reacher kicked open the DOOR. He pulled his Sig Sauer 17 shot 9mm pistol from his SHOULDER HOLSTER. His two shots caught the bad guy between the EYES. Blood and brains splattered the WALL. Reacher SMILED. Life was GOOD.
A very disappointing experience for me, but one I am sure will find an avid audience within a certain segment of the American audience.

Disappointed
Did not enjoy the narrator. Voice did not match the characters. Not to the normal standards.

Narration needs to be reviewed
The narrator is very hard to tolerate, possibly the worst I've listened to, does not flow and is borderline robotic.

Rinse and Repeat
If you have heard any previous Jack Reach books then you have pretty much heard this one. The story is pretty bland and predictable, just a re-hash of the same structure.....was a real struggle to finish. The book seems to maintain a flatline throughout, never peaking at any point. Jeff Harding does his usual thing which is fine, If you are looking for something exciting then I suggest you look elsewhere.

Bland and uninspired
Story based around a single idea and its obsession with oversized men and their physical prowess. This is the third Reacher book I’ve read or listened to over the years and I really need to accept it is not for me. That said, a lot of people really love this series.

Narrator absolutely awful
I have read every Reacher book and been listening to Audible for a couple of years now. I thought I would listen to a Reacher book via Audible for the first time. What a mistake. The narration is absolutely awful. Grating voice that doesn’t tell the story at all well. I have tried to push through thinking I will get used to it but I give up. I will consider getting the paperback book to finish the story and look for another Audible book with a different narrator.
