Read by award-winning narrator Jeff Harding.

**NOW A MAJOR PRIME TV SERIES STARRING ALAN RITCHSON**

There's trouble in the deadly wilds of Nebraska . . . and Reacher walks right into it. He falls foul of the Duncans, a local clan that has terrified an entire country into submission.

But it's the unsolved case of a missing eight-year-old girl that Reacher can't let go.

Reacher - bruised and battered - should have just kept going. But for Reacher, that was impossible.

What, in this fearful county, would be worth dying for?

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, Worth Dying For follows on directly from the end of 61 Hours.

'If anyone can put down Worth Dying For after the first few pages, then they shouldn't really be reading thrillers at all' Independent

‘Jeff Harding’s [...] narration captures Reacher’s character perfectly [...] you have to savour every minute.’ The Sunday Times

Critic Reviews

A sequel to the terrific 61 Hours (try to read it first)... one of the great storytellers of the thriller genre
His is an ironclad storytelling ethos, a gift for narrative that grips like the proverbial vice... Reacher, as ever, is sui generis - a violent force for good set down by the author to eliminate evil and move on. But what counts is Child's ability to keep the reader turning the pages. If anyone can put down Worth Dying For after the first few pages, then they shouldn't really be reading thrillers at all
As a warrior who lacks a car, credit card, phone or weapon of his own, and has no continuing human ties or home, he is even more of a lone, denuded outsider than Lisbeth Salander, the heroine of Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy. Both are avengers who play on our atavistic instincts: when we cheer their lethal justice - if we do - we're acknowledging the pull of a primitive hatred that demands death and can't wait, scornful of the protracted pussyfooting of the law
Worth queuing up for
Explosive as ever
Just like Lisbeth Salander, Stieg Larsson's super violent super-genius, Reacher always find a way... Another cracking story from Child, who just seems to get better and better
Forget Tony Blair's memoirs, for most people the new Lee Child is the most anticipated book of the year. And with good reason... this is Child on fine form
A master craftsman of action thrillers. More than just compulsively readable, Mr Child's work shows a perfectly-fashioned understanding of his protagonist, dogged and moralistic. Reacher may get old some time, but he's sure not showing any signs of it
Adrenaline-fuelled adventure... He knows exactly how to press all the buttons... yet another awesome performance
Reacher is vengeance personified, a walking, fighting revenge fantasy... what he normally chooses to do is right wrongs and defend the weak against the forces of oppression... Characteristically, Child drives the plot like a rally car, a hair-raising ride careering down the route a break-neck speed... Lee Child's loyal fans know only too well that those who enter his Reacher tales have no reason to abandon hope. Quite the opposite and Worth Dying For is no exception

This is probably one of the best Reacher adventures - tight story line, fast movements, surprise ending and sudden explosive action!
However, the climax is anti-climatic. The suspense ends long before the end of the book.

One of the best Reacher Adventures

Die Trying opens with a deliberate pace, almost deceptively calm, but Lee Child uses that space to build tension with remarkable precision. By the time the story hits full stride, you’re locked in—every detail, every revelation, every shift in the power dynamic lands with weight.

The plot drags Reacher into one of the most intense situations in the early series, and Child doesn’t rush a single beat. The world-building around the militia compound is meticulous, almost unsettling in its realism. When the story finally snaps into its final act, the payoff is explosive and richly earned.

I’ll admit—I half-expected the familiar Reacher coda, that quiet moment of reflection, a cup of coffee, a hint of closure. This one ends harder, sharper, and more abruptly, but it fits the story’s tone. The restraint works.

The audiobook narration carries the suspense with steady assurance, giving every detail room to breathe. For listeners who appreciate a thriller that rewards patience with a powerful finish, Die Trying is a standout.
