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.

 Reacher Book - Nothing to Lose October 13, 2008

This book wasn't quite as good as most of them. I think the political leanings of Lee Child got in the way of Jack Reachers character. I'll keep reading but hope Child gets back to the Reacher of previous books.
I read it, and I liked it October 9, 2008

I am surprised at the number of negative reviews on the 12th Jack Reacher novel by Lee Child. I enjoyed the book and as most Reacher fans look forward to the next in the series.

I love Jack Reacher books, but this is definitely the worst Jack Reacher saga and possibly the worst book ever. Its cardboard characters CRAWLED to the finishing line. It's the first time that I've ever set the audible speed on my iPod to "Fast" (only because I'm one of those people who can't NOT finish a book, no matter how bad). And absolutely the most convoluted plot ever.
Once authors develop a following, why do some of them feel the need to start using their books as soap boxes? Stop pounding us with a sledge hammer on your political views, Lee Child. Get off your soap box and go back to what you're great at doing: telling edge-of-your-seat stories through Jack "Dirty Harry" Reacher. PLEASE, turn off your inner Michael Moore. It just doesn't jive with Jack Reacher. [[ASIN:0385340567 Nothing to Lose (Jack Reacher Novels)
Fortunately there were 11 great Jack Reacher books before this. October 4, 2008

This is not the Jack Reacher that put Lee on the map. Hey Lee - - what were you thinking? An awful book for all the reasons (and more) that were stated by previous reviewers.

I won't belabour points that others have made so well. Jack Reacher used to be so cool, but I won't be able to spend any more time with him after this sucker punch.
