Product Description
Book Description
The dynamic second thriller from the author of KILLING FLOOR, again featuring the redoubtable yet romantic hero Jack Reacher.
Product Description
A Chicago street in bright sunshine. Jack Reacher, strolling nowhere. An attractive young woman, struggling on crutches. Naturally he stops to offer her a steadying arm. And then he turns around to see a handgun aimed straight at his stomach.
Locked in a dark, stifling van racing across America, chained to the woman, Reacher needs to know why he’s there. The kidnappers are saying nothing.The woman claims to be an FBI agent.She’s tough enough to be one. But at their remote destination, will raw courage and cunning be enough to overcome the hopeless odds?
Full of non-stop action and gritty suspense, Die Trying is a tightly plotted thriller starring one of the most exciting action heroes in today’s fiction, the redoubtable, romantic, footloose former army cop, Jack Reacher.

Entertaining,

This review is from: Die Trying: (Jack Reacher 2) (Jack Reacher Novel) (Paperback)
I have now read 5 or 6 Reacher books, but this is the best I've read and the first I've wanted to write a review for. This is the only one where I felt Reacher was outnumbered, out of his depth, and even though you knew he'd come through by the end there was enough uncertainty to keep it edgey.

A Jack Reacher Novel - Book 2,
By Mr. William Oxley "oxenblocks" (Farnham, England) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Die Trying: (Jack Reacher 2) (Jack Reacher Novel) (Paperback)
Not a cracking read as book 1 - Killing Floor, where the continuous action keeps you on your toes. Here the action is infrequent and the story unfolds rather slowly.
Jack Reacher unwittingly is involved in the kidnapping of an FBI agent with a dodgy knee, and this makes escape with her, difficult. Arriving at their final destination the boss reveals his new kingdom to Reacher, rather than merely execute him. And his guards are easily swayed with mind tricks that allows Jack to wonder around the compound. All the real action takes place in the final few chapters, but there is little in the way of surprises that create a gripping climax. I am already on to Book 3 (Tripwire) and this is proving to be much more exciting. Maybe domestic terrorism in the US just did not interest me that much.

Best read in ages,

This review is from: Die Trying: (Jack Reacher 2) (Jack Reacher Novel) (Paperback)
This is the first Lee Child or Jack Reacher I have read and I couldnt put it down, I am now addicted and have bought three more. This novel is suspence from start to finish and you cant help but wonder if there is any real life Jack Reacher. He reminds me of "Joe Pike" in Robert Craiss' "Elvis Cole" novels. Hes' just super cool.
