About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Read by award-winning narrator Jeff Harding.

**NOW A MAJOR PRIME TV SERIES STARRING ALAN RITCHSON**

After an epic and interrupted journey all the way from the snows of South Dakota, Jack Reacher has finally made it to Virginia.

His destination, the closest thing to a home he ever had: the headquarters of his old unit, the 110th Military Police.

Why? He wants to meet the new commanding officer, Major Susan Turner. He liked her voice on the phone. But now he's arrived, she's disappeared, and things are getting weird.

Accused of a sixteen-year-old homicide and co-opted back into the army, Reacher says nothing.

But he's sure as hell thinking of a way out.

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, Never Go Back follows on directly from the end of A Wanted Man.

Firstly I think Jeff Harding continues to capture the essence of who Jack Reacher is in his narration. What I found was the delivery of Reacher’s dry sense of humour was outstanding.
Lee Child’s writing keeps getting better. I was also glad the book was different to the movie.
Thank you Lee Child and Jeff Harding for providing hours of enjoyable listening.

The character just keeps on improving

Great story one of the best

The story was well written, believable, and entertaining. The naration was good, but seemed to be reluctant, like the narrator didnt really want to be reading this story. Or maybe its my misinterpretation and was trying to give the charactor a sence of reluctant authority. In any event if you like Lee childs story's of Jack Reacher you should get this book.

Entertaining story

I nearly didn't do this one because I'd seen the movie. I liked the movie but didn't see the point doing the same story twice. I'm glad I did. quite different to the movie and I enjoyed the interaction between reacher & turner... among other things.

loved it!

Imagine heading home to the one thing that you had always had and now didn't know if you like it or not, do you fit or not
Reacher does his thing in true style and for once I'm guessing Reacher wanted something more, but in the end he got what he has always had, his nomad heart destined to always roam.

Reacher my favourite drifter

The escape!

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

NO MOVIE - could not do it justice.

Any additional comments?

Write quicker Lee Child - I only have 2 more Reacher's to go and I am not ready to move on in my life without more Reacher. AND I LOVE Jeff Hardings voice - he is REACHER.

One of the best Reachers

If you are a Reacher fan and just want the good old type of double / trople cross with a twist, oh, and the blood and guts, well in this case, brains, then this is for you

The usual good old Jack Reacher
