About this listen

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • THE BLOCKBUSTER JACK REACHER SERIES THAT INSPIRED TWO MAJOR MOTION PICTURES AND THE STREAMING SERIES REACHER

“Another timely tour de force . . . The taut thriller is textbook [Lee] Child: fast-paced and topical with a ‘ripped from the headlines’ feel.”—Minneapolis Star-Tribune

It’s 1996, and Reacher is still in the army. In the morning they give him a medal, and in the afternoon they send him back to school. That night he’s off the grid. Out of sight, out of mind.

Two other men are in the classroom—an FBI agent and a CIA analyst. Each is a first-rate operator, each is fresh off a big win, and each is wondering what the hell they are doing there.

Then they find out: A Jihadist sleeper cell in Hamburg, Germany, has received an unexpected visitor—a Saudi courier, seeking safe haven while waiting to rendezvous with persons unknown. A CIA asset, undercover inside the cell, has overheard the courier whisper a chilling message: The American wants a hundred million dollars.”

For what? And who from? Reacher and his two new friends are told to find the American. Reacher recruits the best soldier he has ever worked with: Sergeant Frances Neagley. Their mission heats up in more ways than one, while always keeping their eyes on the prize: If they don’t get their man, the world will suffer an epic act of terrorism.

From Langley to Hamburg, Jalalabad to Kiev, Night School moves like a bullet through a treacherous landscape of double crosses, faked identities, and new and terrible enemies, as Reacher maneuvers inside the game and outside the law.

Critic reviews

"Narrator Dick Hill's gruff, laconic voice continues to be a pitch-perfect match for swaggering hero Jack Reacher.... Hill's considerable range of accents also breathes life into a diverse supporting cast. Hill's voice remains an indispensable asset to Reacher's characterization." ( AudioFile)

When I start struggling with a long-awaited book by a favorire author early on, something is wrong. I had difficulty focusing on the story right away. because things seemed too quiet for Reacher's character. I could not imagine Jack Reacher sitting in a room on a too-small desk, waiting patiently, chitchatting, and swapping information with the other two students. He seldom ever shares information, especially about himself, with those whom he does not know or trust. He does trust Garber, but even there, Jack is not apt to taccept a new, unusual assignment without doing some personal vetting of his own.

Frances Neagley remains one of my favorites, but too many of the other characters seem too bland.

I have always enjoyed Dick Hill, one of the best, but some of his German accents were out of Hogan's Heroes at times.

I still remain a devoted Lee Child fan, but I think I want Reacher home again, sauntering along roads that turn complicated, sometimes mysterious, as he triumphs over evil, mostly alone or aided by trusted friends.

NOT MY FAVORITE JACK REACHER BOOK

double crosses and intriguing story, the reader keeps trying to figure out what it was all about.

let's go back to Reacher's Army Days.

Worth the read but not the best Reacher. Much less said of his eccentricities. As a fan who has read all of his previous books I enjoyed this one too. Dick Hill gave his usual great performance. I wouldn't start the series here

The Latest Reacher

buy the book started a bit slow it quickly gained speed. as always I enjoyed the narration. The story was scarily realistic. Looking forward to the next Reacher novel.

another Reacher classic

You have to love the genre. Spies, sex, nuclear bombs, psychos. Narration perfect. Read it again.

Who doesn't love Reacher

Liked story. My first Jack Reacher novel. Dick Hill got a great Tough guy tone but doing woman & German accents which there were a lot of, really broke the mood of the story. One that happens you find yourself examining the implausibility of the Story. That being the only gripe, I like and finished the story.

Narration a little awkward. Tough guy doing woman & German accents

I am a big Reacher fan but did not enjoy this book nearly as much as the others I've read. Slow going.

Not what I was expecting...

Love Reacher. Great American and great guy. Only 4 stars because story mostly psychological vs action and because sex scenes were contrived. Looking forward to next Jack Reacher though

Another Reacher success!

You really need to enjoy Lee Child's style. I have listened to and read all his other books. For some reason, this one didn't excite me quite as much as the others. Am I getting tired of Child's style, or is this book too slow and protracted? The only way for me to know, is for me to listen to one of his previous books. I'll do that and report back.

It was good, but . . .
