Tiempo pasado (acento castellano) Audiobook

Es el fin del verano y Jack Reacher planea hacer un viaje épico que lo lleve desde Maine, en el extremo noreste de Estados Unidos, en diagonal hasta el sur de California, siguiendo el sol. Pero no va a llegar lejos. Un cartel junto a un camino rural anuncia un nombre que Reacher conoce pero donde nunca ha estado: el lugar de nacimiento de su padre. ¿Qué le hace un día más al viaje? Reacher toma el desvío. En ese mismo momento, a casi cincuenta kilómetros de distancia, dos jóvenes canadienses se dirigen a Nueva York con el objetivo de hacer un negocio, pero su Honda Civic se descompone y buscan ayuda en un motel en el medio de la nada. A medida que Reacher explora la vida de su padre y los canadienses se enfrentan a peligros totalmente inesperados, las diferentes historias empiezan a entremezclarse. Y Reacher descubrirá que uno nunca está a salvo del tiempo, y mucho menos del pasado.

Luna azul (acento castellano): Edición España

Una vez cada cierto tiempo, la luna llena aparece dos veces en un mismo mes. Ese evento astronómico poco habitual se conoce como 'luna azul'. Jack Reacher está en un autobús, ocupándose de sus propios asuntos sin ningún lugar en particular al que ir y con todo el tiempo del mundo para llegar allí. En el mismo autobús viaja un anciano, que lleva un sobre abultado con dinero en uno de sus bolsillos. Reacher lo ve, y otro pasajero, que también lo está viendo, evalúa la oportunidad de enriquecerse rápido y fácilmente. Pero Reacher fue entrenado para darse cuenta de cosas. La próxima parada es una ciudad cualquiera, de medio millón de habitantes, dividida por una avenida principal en la que a cada lado operan bandas criminales rivales. Una cosa lleva a la otra y, de repente, Reacher se ve involucrado en una sangrienta guerra territorial que lo obliga a ir un paso por delante de usureros, matones y asesinos para sobrevivir. Junto a una camarera que sabe un poco más de lo que deja entrever, se propone acabar con los poderosos y hacer pagar a los codiciosos. Es una posibilidad remota. Las probabilidades juegan en su contra. Pero Reacher dice: 'Una vez cada luna azul las cosas salen bien'.

The Hero

THE ENDURING MYTH THAT MAKES US HUMAN What makes a hero? Who better to answer that question than Lee Child... 'It's Lee Child. Why would you not read it?' Karin Slaughter 'I don't know another author so skilled at making me turn the page' The Times In his first work of nonfiction, the creator of the multimillion-selling Jack Reacher series explores the endurance of heroes from Achilles to Bond, showing us how this age-old myth is a fundamental part of what makes us human. He demonstrates how hero stories continue to shape our world - arguing that we need them now more than ever. From the Stone Age to the Greek Tragedies, from Shakespeare to Robin Hood, we have always had our heroes. The hero is at the centre of formative myths in every culture and persists to this day in world-conquering books, films and TV shows. But why do these characters continue to inspire us, and why are they so central to storytelling? Scalpel-sharp on the roots of storytelling and enlightening on the history and science of myth, The Hero is essential reading for anyone trying to write or understand fiction. Child teaches us how these stories still shape our minds and behaviour in an increasingly confusing modern world, and with his trademark concision and wit, demonstrates that however civilised we get, we'll always need heroes.

Blue Moon: (Jack Reacher 24)

Brought to you by Penguin. Jack Reacher is back in a brand new white-knuckle read from Lee Child, creator of 'today's James Bond, a thriller hero we can't get enough of' (Ken Follett). In a nameless city, two ruthless rival criminal gangs, one Albanian, the other Ukrainian, are competing for control. But they hadn't counted on Jack Reacher arriving on their patch. Reacher is trained to notice things. He's on a Greyhound bus, watching an elderly man sleeping in his seat, with a fat envelope of cash hanging out of his pocket. Another passenger is watching too ... obviously hoping to get rich quick. As the mugger makes his move, Reacher steps in. The old man is grateful, yet he turns down Reacher's offer to help him home. He's vulnerable, scared, and clearly in big, big trouble. What hold could the gangs possibly have on the old guy? Will Reacher sit back and let bad things happen? Or can he twist the situation to everyone's benefit? 'This is a random universe,' he says. 'Once in a blue moon things turn out just right.' The odds are better with Reacher involved. That's for damn sure.
