Product Description

Product Description

On a Chicago street in bright sunshine, Jack Reacher, is strolling nowhere and sees 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. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, 6 Sep 2007
This review is from: Die Trying (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best read in ages, 16 May 2006
By Niamh O'leary (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Die Trying (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb page-turner that won't let you go..., 17 July 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Die Trying (Paperback)
This is such a fantastic book - I was hooked from the first sentence right through to the end. The author is a master at building suspense and the hits just keep on coming with a book I find impossible to fault. The hero of the book, Jack Reacher is in the wrong place at the wrong time and is taken hostage with an FBI agent - but there's more to this than meets the eye and its going to take all their skill and cunning to come out of this in one piece. Please, do yourself a favour - write off a weekend and read this book - you'll be glad you did.

Gripping story line and Childs is on top form in this one. He writes very taut prose - few adjectives, few adverbs, so his descriptions are dynamic and creative. Read more

The concept of the tough-guy hero who kills the bad guys and saves the girl may sound a bit tired, but the way Lee Child does it with Jack Reacher is just genius. Read more
