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.

 Bye Bye July 6, 2008
Can't really offer anything that hasn't already been said about this hideous book. Like others I will not waste any more time or money on Lee Child's books. What a colossal disappointment.
Worst Jack Reacher ever July 5, 2008
First of all, as a 30 year veteran of the Army, I've always had to ignore the inaccuricies in Lee Child's protrayal of the Army and how it works. Nevertheless, I've enjoyed the eccentric character Jack Reacher and his exploits. Nothing to lose, the latest in the series, has nothing to offer. After a promising start it becomes an incomprehensible plot line tied to a anti-military left wing rant. This is probably the last time I waste my time and money on one of Child's novels. What a dissapointment.
 Nothing to Lose is a winner July 5, 2008
Jack Reacher's stubborn detachment from roots and possessions are a dangerous combination with his PTSD-like hyper-awareness and casual capacity for mayhem. When Reacher stumbles onto a town-wide conspiracy in the rat lands of eastern Colorado, life becomes interesting in the Chinese sense.
Child continues to entertain with fresh ideas and new insights into an unusual protagonist. Reacher may seem unlikely, but only to readers who do not already know people like him.

Did Lee Child even write this book? Like many other devoted Jack Reacher fans I'm very disapointed in the politicizing of JR. Whoever the writer was, he/she has effectively ruined the Jack Reacher character for me. I'll never buy another Lee Child book. So Lee, you did have "Something to Lose".

A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. PREVIOUS JACK REACHER NOVELS HAVE ALL BEEN WALKING THAT THIN LINE OF DISBELIEF...JUST A TOOTHBRUSH!!!!....BUT ALL HAVE BEEN FUN, PAGE TURNING STORIES. THIS NEW ONE IS JUST PLAIN SILLY AND REALLY QUITE BORING. HOPE THAT LEE CHILDS RETURNS TO GOOD STORY TELLING.
