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

The gripping new Jack Reacher thriller from the No.1 bestselling authors Lee Child and Andrew Child.

When your name is Jack Reacher, the truth is always worth doing time for.

Gerrardsville, Colorado. One tragic event. Two witnesses. Two conflicting accounts. One witness sees a woman throw herself in front of a bus - clearly suicide. The other witness is Jack Reacher. And he sees what really happened - a man in grey hoodie and jeans, swift and silent as a shadow, pushing the victim to her death, before grabbing her bag and sauntering away.

Reacher follows the killer, not knowing that this was no random act of violence. It is part of something much bigger...a sinister, secret conspiracy, with powerful people on the take, enmeshed in an elaborate plot that leaves no room for error. If any step is compromised, the threat will have to be quickly and permanently removed.

Because when the threat is Reacher, there is No Plan B...

'Perfectly plotted, with bigger twists than ever before' KARIN SLAUGHTER

'The world's favourite hero packs an even harder punch than ever' PETER JAMES

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, No Plan B is the 27th audiobook in the internationally bestselling series.

No Plan B was a No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller in May 2023.

‘Jeff Harding’s [...] narration captures Reacher’s character perfectly [...] you have to savour every minute.’ The Sunday Times

Narration kills this experience

I had to force myself to listen one through. Narrator read this like a pre-school kid trying to read first time. One sentence at a time!
And whenever he tried to alter the voice for a different character, they all sounded the same nasal voice. Frustrating. Anyway, I will not listen to any more books by this narrator, that was clearly not for me.

No Plan B

All good. Well written, well read and gripping in most parts and very easy to listen to

Listened on audible at speed 1.5 .

Had to get through it asap . Did not like the narrator and story line was stupid.

First Time Loser

I've enjoyed many Reacher novels until this one. It's disconnected narrative and over-detailed descriptions finally bored me senseless. This one goes back. Reacher fans disappointment awaits! Give it a miss.

Impossible to listen to this narrator

The intonation is this narrator is hard to listen to.. It is so annoying that i stopped listening even though I love the series.

Boring

I'm about 5 hours in. This is the first REacher title I will be returning. It's just more of exactly the same. Nothing new. Nothing interesting. Reacher hasn't changed or developed at all

A great disappointment.

Not the best

I am a big fan of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher, but I must say this last book was not good. It seemed as if it was written by a 10 year old.

If this is the new trend for Jack Reacher this will be my last book for Lee Child. Sad day.

No more.

The last time I read a Reacher book written by a collaboration of Lee and Andrew I thought, ok, I don't like it but I'll give the team one more go. No Plan B was that go, and it's the last one I'll give. The story is weak and lacking any cohesion, the characters are repetitive and wooden, Reacher himself is a pathetic caricature of past outings, and I simply cannot be bothered finishing this book. Not even Jeff harding seems to be able to summon any enthusiasm for this one.
I have really enjoyed my journey with Jack None Reacher. I think I'll let us go our seperate ways before the bad taste in my mouth becomes permanent.
If you love Reacher, you'll hate his.

Don’t bother

I normally enjoy Reacher books but the narrator in this case was unbearable. I must have tried a dozen times to get through it. Not possible. I’m sure the story is worth 5 stars but I couldn’t get through the book so I really don’t know. Really, Jeff Harding is painful and I’ll be careful not to buy anything else he’s on.
He is so grating that I finally gave up on No Plan B in favor of a book about the economic development of the early Māori.
The narration is that bad.

End of the road for the Reacher story

This collaboration isn’t working out. Storyline is not cohesive, pacing is poor. I struggled to finish the book. This will sadly be my last Reacher book.
