Publisher's Summary
The gripping new Jack Reacher thriller from the #1 New York Times bestselling authors Lee Child and Andrew Child
“No Plan B is not to be missed. A perfectly plotted, fast-paced thriller, with bigger twists than ever before. It’s no wonder Jack Reacher is everyone’s favorite rebel hero.”—Karin Slaughter
In Gerrardsville, Colorado, a woman dies under the wheels of a moving bus. The death is ruled a suicide. But Jack Reacher saw what really happened: A man in a gray hoodie and jeans, moving stealthily, pushed the victim to her demise—before swiftly grabbing the dead woman’s purse and strolling away.
When another homicide is ruled an accident, Reacher knows this is no coincidence. With a killer on the loose, Reacher has no time to waste to track down those responsible.
But Reacher is unaware that these crimes are part of something much larger and more far-reaching: an arsonist out for revenge, a foster kid on the run, a cabal of powerful people involved in a secret conspiracy with many moving parts. There is no room for error, but they make a grave one. They don’t consider Reacher a threat. “There’s too much at stake to start running from shadows.” But Reacher isn’t a shadow. He is flesh and blood. And relentless when it comes to making things right.
For when the threat is Reacher, there is No Plan B.

Best Andrew Child book so far!!!
The publisher’s summary for the newest Jack Reacher novel, No Plan B is very comprehensive. It gives almost too much information.
In short, Reacher is in Colorado,
and out on the street going where ever Reacher wants to go. While waiting on a street corner he witnesses a murder. A woman is quite literally thrown under a bus. He quickly finds the guy who committed the murder and gives him a taste of his own when he throws him up against a brick wall. Bus, brick wall , same difference!This is Reacher being himself. In this book Reacher is more like he is in his earlier books. He brutal. He’s reverting to his primal self. This story has multiple plots going on simultaneously, fear not they all converge at the end for an explosive conclusion.
I think this is probably the best book written by Andrew Child. He seems to be resurrecting the Jack Reacher that everyone fell in love with when th series first began.
I think Scott Brick does an amazing job narrating. I think many people have a problem with him because his voice no matter how good is not gravelly enough.
This book has my VERY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.
If you found this review helpful please indicate so.
Thank You.

No Dick Hill, No Lee Child..No Longer Reacher
I absolutely love Jack Reacher so I held out hope that the transition to Andrew would be seamless. Unfortunately, it hasn’t happened. Jack Reacher is not the same loner who gives no f’s. I enjoyed Reacher for the simplicity, brutal action scenes, humor, his random knowledge, intelligent observations. This book lacked all that. There was alot going on, it just didnt feel like a Reacher novel. A sidekick lady that contributed nothing (can’t even remember her name). Jed’s story was more interesting than what Reacher had going on. So much time was spent on Jed and his travels, yet we only got a few lines at the end about him and his dad! A huge let down and missed opportunity. The villan/villans were just ridiculous. Emerson, Riverdale, Bancroft (i think, didn’t care much) I should’ve hated them for what they were doing but I got bored listening to their stories. Oh, there was a random bad cop thrown in the mix at the end. I kept checking to see how many chapters were remaining. I waited up until 2am for this book to drop…that’s how excited I was to hear Reacher again. 10-20% of this book is Reacher, the rest… a boy, his dad, a prison, a ship, organs, drugs, a dude practicing his speech. Just too much. Also, this narrator is not bad, he’s just not Dick Hill. His voice is not gravely enough and he gets excited. Reacher is not animated or excitable! If you can’t tell, I’m very disappointed.
