Description To Books Nothing to Lose (Jack Reacher #12)
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.

I shoulda effin' known better.On the recommendation of quite a few (formerly) reliable folks, I finally cranked through a 500+ Jack Reacher novel.Short version: Fucking terrible.Longer and angrier version:It seems to me that Lee Child really wants to write Robert B. Parker novels, but doesn't have the balls to actually go through with it. There are entire pages that could have been ripped out of a Spenser novel. Shit like this (paraphrasing because I don't want to open the goddamn book everTaking place on the eastern plains, of the state I reside in.....Jack is doing only what Jack can do. Helping out the locals and kicking A$$. Reacher is good for a little testosterone jolt.
Nothing to Lose I wouldn't put up there with the best Reacher installment, but it was good nonetheless. It just happens to be another typical day for Jack Reacher, that is, until he reaches the town of Despair! Despair, a small, desolate town in the middle of nowhere, twelve miles across from it lies the nearest town Hope, between them, an empty road. Reacher arrives in Despair, wanting nothing but a cup of coffee. What he gets is more than he bargained for, he's not there 5 minutes when 4
My 2nd Jack Reacher book. I don't like his vigilante attitude. Funny when the same "take no prisoners" attitude is on the big screen, I'm cheering for the cowboy but in the slower medium of the printed word, I find it distasteful. And really, what woman would really fall into bed with a man who has no job and rarely changes his clothes?
After reading about 8 of Child's Jack Reacher books, I finally found a dud. It started out thrilling, as expected, but quickly became almost boring. I can not believe I am typing those words. Reacher's repeatedly doing the same thing, over and over (returning to a bad place) was tedious and so unlike our hero's usual behavior. The plot wandered all over the place and the book was too long. I found it impossible to buy into the far-fetched "conspiracy theory" with its pathetic "villains" and was
Yeah, we can be sure my Lee Child spree in the Jack Reacher series ends with this one. I was curious to his writing and I'm happy I got to borrow the three books in this series, in order to see what it's all about. The main character doesn't impress me at all, he could very well be the Van Damme of literature, working the same scheme, employing the same tricks, being as static as it's possible, from a developmental point of view. Once in a while, reading this kind of books, I remember why I have
It all began with a false accusation. Reacher is back West, sipping coffee at a diner in Despair, Colorado. He's asked to leave by local police, cited for vagrancy, but the argument is weak at best and Reacher has done nothing but enjoy his caffeinated beverage. Crossing into the next town, aptly named Hope, Reacher tries to decipher what reason the Despair PD could have for wanting him gone and so quickly after he's entered the town limits. When he teams up with Hope's limited police force and
