Publisher's summary

The Navy SEALs trained him.

A secret unit of the NCIS recruited him.

Enemies fear him.

For elite undercover operative Jack Widow, the news that someone shot his mother, a small-town sheriff, will unleash him in number one best-selling author Scott Blade's explosive series starter.

Pulled off an undercover assignment, Widow returns home to a small town in Mississippi - a place he tried to forget.

Taken to be a worthless drifter by the locals, Widow uses his skills to uncover the truth about his mother's last investigation. What was she looking for?

What he discovers is an unsolved mystery of missing girls and townspeople harboring a deadly secret - a secret they'll die to protect.

Good thing that Jack Widow will kill to find out what.

Fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp, and Mark Greaney's The Gray Man series will love the Jack Widow action-thriller-mystery series.

If gripping thrillers loaded with mystery, suspense, action, twists, and turns is your thing, then Jack Widow is for you!

Listen to international best seller Scott Blade's first explosive book in the Jack Widow series today.

Review Gone Forever

I enjoyed this story but he sounds a lot like Jack Reacher . Have only listened to this first story. I will try another one.

Meh it was okay

It was okay, a little slow in the middle. But it was a good read.

Pretty good first book.

Not the best I've listened to, but not the worse. Book was pretty slow and not enough action. Hopefully, the rest will be better. The narrator was not that great, in my opinion, did not fit the character.

Great addition to Jack Reacher novels

Was very good to read about familiar characters, and to extend the Jack reacher novels. I am excited to read more. I am hopeful they are willing to collaborate, and bring the two characters together occasionally!

Great story, poor editing.

The story was a winner, too bad there were so many continuity errors. Timelines screwed up. Prior events referred to incorrectly. A little bit of editing would have solved everything.

Good til the dog dies

I don't like books where the dog dies... people, meh, but please don't kill an animal. So, warning, its only a side item, but a dog does die.

Until that point, i was thoroughly enjoying the book. Well written, enough action to keep you interested. So, if a dead dog doesn't bother you, I'd highly recomend it.

Great story, great voice!

Wept openly through most of the first two chapters. Great writing that painted a clear picture. Couldn’t put this one down. Looking forward with high hopes that Mr. Blade continues to draw me further into the adventures of Widow!

So far so great.

Didn't have high expectations when I started, but 5 chapters later and I am engrossed. Good storyline, good narrative and great story. I think I am going to like the series.
