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.

I am a big fan of Lee Child's books. They are usually fast moving and interesting. This title is a tad different. It was easy to put down and in fairness, it was also easy to pick back up and get on with. However...it struck me that Child wrote this book without quite know the direction it would take. The end seemed to me to be a tidy tying up of many loose ends, most of which were un-satisfying in their conclusion. A big disappointment!

I'm a Reacher fan, but this is a reach too far. There's supposed to be some military checkpoint on a public highway that just gets ignored, and some town where everyone knows what's going on but word never gets out...
Ignore for a second the anti-Iraq propaganda. The scale is simply too large to be believable. This is a comic book, not a thriller. Two stars is is probably generous, but I like the hero and the action.

After reading this book I wonder if Lee Child is done with Jack Reacher. It's been a good run for Child, but I don't know if he has anything left. This book is bad. The plot is boring, Reacher's wanderings are tedious, the bad guy is lame, the plot is ridiculous, and Child need to do some actual research about brain dream people and war deserters.
Don't waste your time with this book. Read an old Reacher novel and have a good time. Child needs a visit from Jack Reacher to straighten ... Read More

I discovered Lee Child and Jack Reacher 2 years ago in the form of the Persuader and loved it. My wife and I continued to read the series and these are some of the best escapist novels I have come across in some time. With that said, I feel jilted.
I pre-ordered this one as a hardback expecting another adventure true to form and got a commercialized forced political statement that cost me $17. The politics were not even subtle, but way overdone 3 fold. I fear that Jack Reacher has jumped ... Read More

Like numerous others, I have read all previous novels written by Lee Child, have been a Jack Reacher fan since the beginning. Nothing to Lose was nowhere near the great read the rest of the books have been. Boring characters, meandering plot, political views written into the story, overall a big disappointment. I'll wait for the next one in paperback. I hope he hasn't lost his touch! I always look forward to the next Jack Reacher tale and hope #13 is more like the first 11.
