Book Cover
TOO MUCH TIME An original novella featuring Jack Reacher after his time in the army, in a story that leads into Lee Child's fall 2017 new Reacher hardcover novel, The Midnight Line.  In "Too Much Time," Reacher finds himself in a tiollowed-out town in Maine, where he witnesses a random bag-snatching but sees much more than a simple crime.

SMALL WARS  The telex is brief and to the point: One active-duty personnel found shot to death ten miles north of Fort Smith.  Circumstances unknown.  The victim was shot twice in the chest and once in the head.  A professional hit.  The crime scene suggests an ambush.  Military police officer Jack Reacher is given the case.  He calls his older brother, Colonel Joe Reacher, at the Pentagon for intel and taps Sergeant Frances Neagley to help him answer the big question: Who would kill a brilliant officer on the fast-track to greatness?

NOT A DRILL  Jack Reacher is on the road, hitching a ride with some young Canadians who are planning a hike through the dense forests of Maine.  They part ways after sharing a hot meal, and Reacher checks out a quiet town surrounded by countryside serene enough to cool even his raging wanderlust.  But not for long.  First the trail is suddenly closed.  Then the military police show up in force.  Maybe it's a drill.  Or maybe it's trouble - the kind of trouble that always finds Reacher, no matter how far he travels off the beaten path.

And for the first time on audio, additional stories featuring Jack Reacher, including: James Penney's New Identity, Everyone Talks, Maybe They Have a Tradition, Guy Walks into a Bar, No Room at the Motel, and The Picture of the Lonely Diner.

LEE CHILD is the author of eighteen New York Times bestselling Jack Reacher thrillers, with nine having reached the #1 position.  All have been optioned for major motion pictures; the first, Jack Reacher, was based on One Shot.  Foreign rights in the Reacher series have sold in almost a hundred territories.  A native of England and a former television director, Child lives in New York City.  Visit the author online at www.leechild.com.

DICK HILL has been named both a Golden Voice and a Voice of the Century by AudioFile magazine, and has earned numerous Earphones awards for his work.  He is also a three-time winner of the Audie Award.  To learn more about Dick, visit www.dickhill.com.

"Grabs hold with the first page...  This is pulse-pounding suspense."
- Arizona Daily Star

"Furious action ... [Lee] Child keeps the pacing swift and the surprises rolling....  [A] feverishly thrilling series."
- The Miami Herald


Four people in a car, hoping to make Chicago by morning.  One man driving, another telling stories that don't add up.  A woman in the back, silent and worried.  And a hitchhiker with a broken nose.  An hour behind them, the FBI descends on an old pumping station where a man was stabbed to death - the knife work professional.  The killers nowhere to be seen.

All Jack Reacher wanted was a ride to Virginia.  All he did was stick out his thumb.  But he soon discovers he has hitched more than a ride.  He has tied himself to a massive conspiracy, in which nothing is what it seems, and nobody is telling the truth.

"Smart, breathless... [features] one of the best female characters in the whole Reacher series."
- The New York Times

"Subtle and nuanced [with] seductive writing and irresistible plot twists."
- Newsweek

"Relentlessly paced...and absolutely mesmerizing." —Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Skilled, cautious, and anonymous, Jack Reacher is perfect for the job: to assas-sinate the vice president of the United States. Theoretically, of course. A female Secret Service agent wants Reacher to find the holes in her system, and fast—because a covert group already has the vice president in their sights. They've planned well. There's just one thing they didn't plan on: Reacher. "Everything falls into place like a well-assembled time bomb." —The Boston Globe

"Don't pick up the latest Jack Reacher novel if you don't have some time on your hands, because Worth Dying For is difficult to put down....  Child manages to get an amazing amount of suspense into the novel."
-Associated Press


There's deadly trouble in the corn country of Nebraska... and Jack Reacher walks right into it.  First he falls foul of the Duncans, a local clan that has terrified an entire county into submission.  But it's the unsolved, decades-old case of a missing child that Reacher can't let go.

"A model of suspenseful storytelling and an outstanding addition to a series that stands in the front rank of modern thrillers."
-The Washington Post


The Duncans want Reacher gone - and its not just past secrets they're trying to hide.  For as dangerous as the Duncans are, they're just the bottom of a criminal food chain stretching halfway around the world.  For Reacher, it would have made much more sense to put some distance between himself and the hard-core trouble that's bearing down on him.  For Reacher, that was also impossible.

"Still the thinking man's action hero, supreme butt-kicker and smartest guy in the room."
-The Seattle Times
