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.

The kind that will change his life forever.
The kind that will make him wish he’d stayed in bed.

The Reacher Experiment concludes with an attack on Rock Wahlman’s family in which his wife and stepdaughter are kidnapped. The book recaptures much of the frenzied pace of the earlier novels as Rock goes all out to get his loved ones back. The only problem with the story is that it is not really a complete novella. Instead it is setting up Hardin’s next series about Rock and for some reason that bothered me when I finished it. It felt like this should have been the first book in that series, as opposed to the last book in the Reacher Experiment. That being said, I still enjoyed the novel right up until the last chapters when I realized what the author was doing. However, this might not be fair on my part. If I read it as the first book in the next series, I probably would have thoroughly enjoyed it.

Not as sure about this one and the time travel, might be great but could also become silly and a get out clause. As long as it is used to meet up with Reacher.
I do like these books they feel like TV episodes and work well in the world of Reacher. Will wait for the next one and see where they go.

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:

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.
Muck 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.

All right, the Jack Reacher Experiment is over and done. I had actually been looking forward to the end. Not so much because I disliked the books, more that I was just weary of the same storyline. Then, just when I thought the books might evolve into the mundane private investigations scenario, book number 9 opened up the aspect of time travel and the necessity of saving the real Jack Reacher. Now my interest was piqued once more and I will delve into Mr. Hardin's Reacher Code books. All in all this entire series was constantly hovering between two and three stars. As quick reads go, it was a great way to pass the time in a doctor's office waiting room or waiting for a bus.

Gone. Jude Hardin
Just when Rock Wahlman thought normality or some form of it had finally returned to his life, Casey his wife and their daughter has been abducted. In order for Rock to reunite with them he has to follow a specific set of instructions. He has to prove he still has what it takes to accomplish a mission they want him to undertake. It now appears there are more clones. But more importantly he has to travel back in time. Jack Reachers life may depend on it. An excellent read!!

Wahlman mark 2
Very interesting storyline to bring the first phase of the Reacher Experiment to a close and open a new Wahlman storyline. Look forward to seeing where it goes in the new series.

'Gone' was a good end to the series, or a good start to a new series. Not sure. As I've enjoyed the books in this series, each book was quite short. I do look forward to reading the next phase. A good add to your tbr list.

Wow... okay, this went in a direction I would NEVER have expected.... Even though this looks like the last in this series, it is clear that the story continues on and I see it is in another series, so I am looking for that book now.

“You can aggravate pawnshop owners and attorneys all day long. You can beat guys up in convenience store parking lots. But you better not mess with a librarian. Not if you know what’s good for you.” ~ Rock Wallman

Enjoyable short read.
Short sweet and to the point with a great story line. Really enjoyed the new twist and look forward to more such stories.

A new twist
A clever and intriguing twist to an already intricate storyline with a link to the Jack Reacher stories, can't wait for more.

So, it turns out, physics and time travel DO go hand in hand.
I promised myself I'd read this series with the hope that it would get better, it didn't.

The last in the series. They need to be read in order. Short books, like novellas. Good series. Binge read in a couple of days. If you like Jack Reacher, you will likkkke this.

Ok, now I get it as I already read Timestream 1,2,3 . I know you can read each book independently but it always makes more sense doing it in sequence. Glad that Wahlman save Mike Chilton. Good addition. 5
