About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
A Jack Reacher short story, published as an audiobook: now also available in the new Reacher short story collection, No Middle Name.
The tiny town of Naismith has nothing going for it - except the start of a wilderness trail through Maine's ancient forests. But one day the trail is suddenly closed by county police.
No reason is given. Rumours start - is there something in the woods that no one must see? That no one must even know about?
Then Jack Reacher drifts into town. What does he make of the Do Not Enter tape strung between the trees?

Reacher is his usual mysterious self, breaking the rules where necessary, and using a Sherlock Holmes-like sense of justice when needed.
I can't say too much without becoming a "Spoiler" but the story leaves one thinking about the suggestions it contains.
Kerry Shale reads the Reacher books when they are presented in an abridged format and it would be nice to hear his gravelly voice in a full length story.
A good little story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Absolutely, it is a brilliant book that includes the best features of Jack Reacher, the no nonsense muscle man of justice and fairness. He is like Judge Dredd but without the restraint.What other book might you compare Not a Drill to, and why?
He is like an uncompromising James Bond, so the nearest Bond book in similarity would probably be live and let die, it is a taught thriller with action sequences in the right places, just like Bond.What does Kerry Shale bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Kerry Shale is the perfect hard guy impersonation of Reacher that I know. I know if it is a Shale book it will be exciting and emotive.If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Afraid to go into the woods? You should be!Any additional comments?
Just a great book and what I have come to expect from Lee ChildI love Lee Child, gritty and uncompromising!

I think i missed something towards the end - a kind of punchline - I didn't get it! So I'll have to listen again.
I do like however, that he just stumbled across this mini adventure, just part and parcel of the incidents he comes across whilst meandering around the country!
Not the usual narrator, so not the usual Reacher
