Gone - Jude Hardin - The Jack reacher Experiment Book 9

Wow! I was absolutely not expecting this ending to this series! I really enjoyed this book and series and now I will be on to the other two Reacher Series Jude has penned. A few years ago I read my first Reacher novel. I had picked up one for my dad, and after giving the back a read, I grabbed the eBook for myself. In under a year I had read all the Reacher Novels in print and all the books in the Hunt for Jack Reacher by Diane Capri. Since then I have read 58 books in the Reacher universe and am expanding out to the three series by Jude Hardin now.

The description of this book and same as some of the others is:

“15 October 2101

When Rock Wahlman wakes up and leaves the house that morning, he can’t possibly imagine the kinds of problems he’s going to be dealing with by that afternoon.

Problems that are beyond belief.

Problems that nobody in the history of the universe has ever encountered before.

A client accused of murder?

All in a day’s work.

Belligerent drunks in parking lots?

No big deal.

But the challenges that Wahlman will ultimately face on this day in history, and the decisions that he will ultimately have to make, are of the mind-blowing variety.

The kind that will change his life forever.

The kind that will make him wish he’d stayed in bed.”

This story is listed as 115 pages, not the shortest in the series and not the longest; a little longer than the average. It felt much shorter though. Based on the page count this volume is more of a novella, the book in this series are available as 9 stand-alone stories or in 3 omnibus editions with 3 volumes each and now even all 9 stories in 1 eBook or print edition. I have now read and reviewed all the stand-alone editions because that is how I started the series. Back to the book at hand. I read this over a few mugs of coffee on a quiet afternoon at home alone, which is a rarity. It was finished far too soon, and really leaves you desperate for the first book in The Reacher Code Series a trilogy that continues directly from this story. But I am getting ahead of myself.

Wahlman is working a case and gets sent on a wild goose chase, but it leads to something he could never have imagined. He is surprised and readers will be even more so. I really could just not put this down.

Much like his generic source material, trouble just seems to find Wahlman. This time it is a surprise and he is drawn into something he never could have imagined. Can he make it through this one or will he end up like a bug on the windshield? To find out what happens read this great story.

This is a great excellent novella. That stays true to the original character and universe. It is a great read in a fun series. Even if this volume had not been set in the Reacher Universe I would have enjoyed it. The fact that it is only adds to the mystique that is Jack Reacher. It was good read and leaves you desperate for the next instalment in this series. This is a book and series I can easily recommend to fans of Reacher or anyone who love a good action thriller.
