About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Read by award-winning narrator Jeff Harding.

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

North Carolina. New Year's Day, 1990. A soldier is found dead in a sleazy motel bed.

Jack Reacher is the officer on duty. The soldier turns out to be a two-star general.

The situation is bad enough, then Reacher finds the body of the general's wife.

This stomach-churning thriller turns back the clock to a younger Reacher, in dogtags. A Reacher who still believes in the service. A Reacher who imposes army discipline. Even if only in his own pragmatic way...

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, The Enemy is 8th in the series.


'There's only one Jack Reacher. Accept no substitutes' Mick Herron

'The thing about Lee Child's books is that you can't put the damn things down. . .there's something about his writing that's addictive. The Enemy is no exception. . .Superb.' Independent on Sunday

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

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

Never has such an engaging story had so many statements saying that he/she/they/we/I said nothing. Although the story didn't take a genius to figure out the perpetrator(s) it was clearly going to be tough for Reacher to do his thing. At first I thought thi

Loved it. Classic Reacher.

Best book yet

brilliant change of direction as Reacher investigates slippery powergames and murder in high command set in 1990.

Best yet, gets the atmosphere of 1990 spot on

Great to have a story revolving around his time in the military.

I found this book to be very fast paced, intriguing and suitably violent throughout :)

I'm currently listening to the books in release order and this is up there with my favourite, possible only behind Killing Floor.

Hello, Major Reacher!

Nothing great story as ever. Pace intrigued and flow. Keeps you second guessing. Great to have more Reacher back history.

The narrator is always excellent
