Description In Favor Of Books Worth Dying For (Jack Reacher #15)
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “Compulsively readable.”—The Wall Street Journal “Don’t pick up [this] Jack Reacher novel if you don’t have some time on your hands, because Worth Dying For is difficult to put down. . . . Child manages to get an amazing amount of suspense into the novel.”—Associated Press There’s deadly trouble in the corn county of Nebraska . . . and Jack Reacher walks right into it. First he falls foul of the Duncans, a local clan that has terrified an entire county into submission. But it’s the unsolved, decades-old case of a missing child that Reacher can’t let go. The Duncans want Reacher gone—and it’s not just past secrets they’re trying to hide. For as dangerous as the Duncans are, they’re just the bottom of a criminal food chain stretching halfway around the world. For Reacher, it would have made much more sense to put some distance between himself and the hard-core trouble that’s bearing down on him. For Reacher, that was also impossible. BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Lee Child's The Affair. “A model of suspenseful storytelling and an outstanding addition to a series that stands in the front rank of modern thrillers.”—The Washington Post “Still the thinking man’s action hero, supreme butt-kicker and smartest guy in the room.”—The Seattle Times “This series is about as good as pop fiction gets.”—The Miami Herald

In this 15th book in the 'Jack Reacher' series, the steely hero intervenes in a domestic abuse situation, and draws the ire of the 'town mafia.' The book can be read as a standalone.*****Jack Reacher, perpetual traveler and tough guy seeking justice, stops off in a small Nebraska community as he's hitchhiking south. While having coffee in a motel bar where the local doctor happens to be drinking, a call comes in - Eleanor Duncan has a nosebleed. The doc refuses to respond so Reacher - suspectingThree and a half stars. While sticking to the basic formula of Reacher kicks bad guys' butts, Child manages to change it up a little. In some ways, Reacher's an anachronism, and if serious modern technology was used with strategy against him, he'd be in trouble. It starts to look as though he will be outnumbered when professional enforcers get added into the mix of local thugs, but (view spoiler)[ part of the problem is solved by them turning on each other. There's no honor among thieves, I
Have read them all and can't separate any of them in my mind any more because I liked the Reacher series so much I read straight through all of them.
I've noted before that (for me) the Reacher books tend to run hot and cold. I suppose that on the whole I tend to like more than I dislike. Here we have another good read. I won't go through the book's/character's idiosyncrasies again. I've mentioned them over and over. Reacher tends to look like a giant homeless guy...hitch-hiking. Okay.The biggest problem I have with this series is that sometimes the writer comes across in a very self righteous and judgemental way. He insults various groups at
ebook while listening to audioThis my second time around and this book is one of my favorites. Child's constant explanation of things is enjoyable and educational especially to someone like me who has been asking "why" for almost 70 years. The story really flows and I had to slow down my reading to keep in sync with the narration. Like JR, I'm a baseball fan. Growing up I saw a lot of greats strike out, but it was an esoteric feeling when Mays, Aaron, Robinson, Mantle, Bonds,etc., hit a "no
Worth Dying For centres around another small town that Reacher unluckily stumbles upon and uncovers a decades old conspiracy. In the past Reacher has come up against some brutal individuals but even here the odds are stacked that much against him that at times it did feel unbelievable how he so easily managed to beat so many people. That said, that is why I read these books for the brilliant character of Jack Reacher.In terms of the plot I felt it was dragged out a little too long. For a 500+
I'm quickly re-reading the last couple of chapters of 61 Hours before I rush headlong into the next novel in the series. The jet fuel is being pumped down into the shaft and for the life of me can't remember what happened next...So, we have arrived... Finished reading this the other day. Worth Dying For is by no means a sequel to 61 Hours. As others already mentioned there is hardly any explanation at all as to how Reacher escaped from his perilous situation at the end of the previous book.
