Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
Two lonely towns in Colorado: Hope and Despair. Between them, twelve miles of empty road. 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.



Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - Disappointing and Boring
Fans write reviews when they are let down by their authors or are thrilled they have discovered a new one. Lee Child's Jack Reacher novels have been a staple of my fiction reading library since he appeared. However, with Nothing to Lose, I feel he mailed it in for the very first time. There was only so much to do with the idea, and the repeated traveling between towns was worn out after the very first couple times. The bad guys, such as they were,were lightweight and generated no fear. All in all, a novel that did not do anything for me and was a waste of money and energy in the anticipation. I went back and reread the previous books the last few weeks and confirmed this new one was a very weak and seemingly half-hearted endeavor to repeat those. I hope he recovers his abilities for the subsequent one.



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Boring!
Quick and to the point. If this was my very first Jack Reacher novel, it would also have been my last. I'll give the author another shot but I'll wait for it to hit the library before I spend another dime on Mr. Child



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Give this one a pass
What a disappointment! Lee Child is one of my favorites and I always look forward to the new Reacher outing. But this was almost unreadable, and I totally lost interest halfway through. Out of a sense of loyalty, I read much further than the book warranted. And then I just stopped.
What happened there, Lee? This was bad.



Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - From J. Kaye's Book Blog
I'm a Jack Reacher fan - love, love this character. I also love Indiana Jones. But in the last movie, it left me with the same feeling as I had after I read this book. It left me with questions to ponder, such as is the guy getting too old? Isn't it time for a new character?

NOTHING TO LOSE didn't knock my socks off as did the previous Reacher books. I'll keep my fingers crossed though and wait for the subsequent in this series. Maybe I'll have the answer to my pondering questions then.



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Big Disappointment
I have read every one of Lee Child's books for many years, and have always been a huge loyal fan. I just threw this book away without finishing it. This book seemed to be very anti-Christian, and anti-government/military. His last book before this had a very short section on the folly of religion, and this book has so much of it that I finally just gave up. I hope his subsequent book goes back to the Jack Reacher of old.
