Third in the Jack Reacher Experiment series. Good stuff. On to the next one.
November 2, 2021
Rock Wahlman returns for another dance with death in this tightly plotted sequel to Moving Target. The enigmatic assassin, Mr. Tyler, is hot on Rock’s trail trying to earn his hefty fee and Rock and his girlfriend Kasey are equally determined not to become his next victims. It’s a fast-paced and exciting ride, as I have come to expect from Hardin. The ending—the assassin’s backup plan, so to speak—came as a big and much appreciated surprise for me. I’m looking forward to the next volume.

No Escape is the third book in the Jack Reacher Experiment series, following the adventures of Jack Reacher clone Rock Wahlman in the year 2098. Because why not.
This third entry in the series is much better than the previous one, taking place two months after the rushed and monumentally coincidental events of Moving Target. The storyline is much more streamlines and gets back on track as Rock and Kasey reunite, with the deadly Mr. Tyler.
The most disappointing thing about this book in the series is Mr. Tracy. For am action novel villain that identifies himself as "the greatest hit man in the world," he never manages to display an interesting personality, other than his willingness to threaten and/or kill his employers. The potential was there, but in the end this major foil to Rock ends up almost as flat and dull as his name.
But still, much better than the last book, faith is now restored in this possibly ending up a good series overall. We'll see.

No Escape Jude Hardin
Rock Wahlman has managed to barely escape death. Born out of an experiment a clone. An exact replica of Jack Reacher. The only one left. The military is relentlessly pursuing him. A covert branch that I'm sure a lot of Army personnel are not aware of. He has lost his closest friend in their relentless search for him. Now only one person knows his background, everything about him. A waitress named Kasey who he meet in Barstow. She has already been threatened by his pursuers. Her daughter is also at risk. They are constantly on high alert. Rock has eliminated their newest assassin, but another one or group will surely take his place. Non stop action! An excellent read!!

“No Escape”, third in the 'Jack Reacher Experiment' series, sees Mr. Tyler hot on Rock's heels.
And Rock, in turn, is determined not to be caught and killed.
The sensible option would be to keep moving on but Rock decides against it because, wonder of wonders, he has feelings for Barstow waitress Kasey (which is odd considering he hardly knows her.)
But, given the circuitous nature of the bite size series, it is hardly surprising that Kasey holds the key to identifying the people who have hired Mr. Tyler.
It's a fast read but not a particularly good one.
2 Stars.

Sometimes the hero doesn't do the smartest thing when given choices, but hey, he's only human, right? Great genetics doesn't necessarily mean great thinker, just great instincts and a great body. Although I like this story the best to date, I just noticed that there are more available. Heading that way now. Love the action and the adrenaline fueled pace, but wish the author was as graphic with the bedroom scenes as the killing scenes. Just keeping it real in 2098.

Weird. Like a chapter book for adults?
This is an apparently approved spin off of the Childs' Reacher series, set in the future on the premise that the government cloned special people without their consent or knowledge, based on their special skills and attributes.
Rock is a clone of Jack Reacher, one of two. Being that this is Book 3, don't really know what happened in Books 1 & 2, and the end of this one leads right into the next book like a cliffhanger.

The 3rd book in the boxed set, this is where things really heat up and we feel as the end is in sight.
Sorry. No HEA, just yet, although there are some resolutions and some re-acquaintences that liven the story up. Looks like we will all have to look into the next book, for more answers to who the mastermind is behind this caper.

A typical giant 'Greek god' type of shooter
This nit for someone who is looking for a great way to spend a weekend with plot and character development. If you're old enough or into vintage shooters this is just a Mack Bolan rehash type of story. Got 4 stars from me because it kept me entertained while waiting for a doctors appointment

Thus far, the best of the Rock Wahlman (this name...) series. These seem more like novellas and puzzled chapters more than finished books.
One question, why are we calling this guy "Mr. Tyler"? Everyone else is going by their actual name.
The savior of this book was the last chapter. I'll read on, otherwise, I'm in a place that feels like tail chasing!

These Jack Reacher Experiment books seem to be more novella than novel, perhaps even chapters. Consequently a very quick read. As with my previous reviews on the Jude Hardin series, this book was entertaining enough for me to want to see how the story ends.

reacher experiment 3
This line of the plot is getting a little old seems stale, and I don’t think I’ll read the rest of the series. You should come up with a different line of plot twist..

Short continuation of a thriller series set in the future. Action and conspiracy. I like the series.

Yawn x ten
It deserves it.it is a waste of battery.0k for holiday reading or dentists waiting rooms..Reacher has lost his impact/charisma somewhere.

Not a bad little collection of books so far.

'No Escape' is a good addition to a day paced, quick read series. Rock is fighting to keep himself and Kasey safe. I love the suspense. I look forward to reading more.

Not the greatest writing. A bit heavy handed but entertaining enough.

Another great episode in the life of Rock Wahlman. I found in rather odd that Hardin tied in Kasey’s ex husband in on this as the one to hire Mr. Tyler. Only Tyler had no patience for him and blew him away like he blows everyone. So now we go on beyond. 5

Nope... Definitely not worth it!
After reading the first 3 installments all I can say is forget this series and go read Lee Child novels (the early ones are masterpieces!)

Good fast read
Good book, short but flows well. I did read these in succession which did make the storyline flow better. If your looking for more "Reacher" type reading your not going to have that storyline here
