Jack Reacher never turns back. It's not in his nature. All he wants is a cup of coffee. What he gets is big trouble. So in Lee Child’s electrifying new novel, Reacher—a man with no fear, no illusions, and nothing to lose—goes to war against a town that not only wants him gone, it wants him dead. It wasn’t the welcome Reacher expected. He was just passing through, minding his own business. But within minutes of his arrival a deputy is in the hospital and Reacher is back in Hope, setting up a base of operations against Despair, where a huge, seething walled-off industrial site does something nobody is supposed to see . . . where a small plane takes off every night and returns seven hours later . . . where a garrison of well-trained and well-armed military cops—the kind of soldiers Reacher once commanded—waits and watches . . . where above all two young men have disappeared and two frightened young women wait and hope for their return. Joining forces with a beautiful cop who runs Hope with a cool hand, Reacher goes up against Despair—against the deputies who try to break him and the rich man who tries to scare him—and starts to crack open the secrets, starts to expose the terrifying connection to a distant war that’s killing Americans by the thousand. Now, between a town and the man who owns it, between Reacher and his conscience, something has to give. And Reacher never gives an inch. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - No longer a fanI've read all of the previous Reacher books and have enjoyed them all. This was his not his best story line or writing. To add to the problems Child decides to force some political views. Which doesn't even fit. I have alwasy recomended Child and the Reacher series. I won't pick one up again and I'll be sure to speak ill of this book when I get a chance. Rating: - Total waste of timeNothing to Lose (Jack Reacher Novels)This is undoubtedly one of the worst books I have ever read. The reason I gave it one star was because that was the lowest rating Amazon allowed. The only reason it held my attention was because the other books by Child have been so great. If this had been the first book of his I had read, I would have put it down within 100 pages. He kept plowing the same ground it seemed to me. The characters were shallow and not well developed. The plot was weak. It ... Read More Rating: - spun off the rails. end of the series?The previous book wasn't great, but I gave Child the benefit of the doubt. This book really was it fo rme. Lousy plot, silly situations, and a Reacher that was nothing like the previous books. Read this only if you have a read need for disappointment. Rating:  - Ignore the hatersWhen it comes down to it, Nothing to Lose is not the greatest Jack Reacher novel Lee Child has written. However, it certainly isn't bad. I was a bit turned off when I got my copy in the mail and checked the Amazon reviews to see the slew of 1-star reviews that Child has gotten this time around. However, the negative reviews are ridiculous. I was taken completely by surprise at the sheer number of Reacher fans that really identified with his "politics" and that this novel totally broke that illusion ... Read More Rating: - Me too. I'm think I'm done as well.Sorry, Mr. Child, but you kind of did me in on this one. It started with the abrupt change of the character in the last book. Reacher became . . . different. It wasn't just his apparent endorsement of PETA. There were aspects of the man's person that changed. I always felt that Reacher's character was based on things like justice, honor, concern for what is just plain right, no matter what the odds. That started to melt away in the earlier book. In Child's lastest work, Reacher ... Read More
