The Complete Collected Jack Reacher Short Stories

No Middle Name

Melody Izard

Some of these Reacher stories touch on parts of previous books. Some are just foot prints leading to his profile. Meh! Read them or not.

Jack 'No Middle Name' Reacher, lone wolf, knight errant, ex military cop, lover of women, scourge of the wicked and righter of wrongs, is the most iconic hero for our age. This is the first time all Lee Child's shorter fiction featuring Jack Reacher has been collected into one volume. Read together, these twelve stories shed new light on Reacher's past, illuminating how he grew up and developed into the wandering avenger who has captured the imagination of millions around the world. The twelve stories include a brand new novella, Too Much Time. The other stories in the collection are: Second Son James Penney's New Identity Guy Walks Into a Bar Deep Down, High Heat Not a Drill Small Wars All of which have previously been published as ebook shorts. Added to these is every other Reacher short story that Child has written: Everyone Talks Maybe They Have a Tradition No Room at the Motel The Picture of the Lonely Diner

This was my first impression of Jack Reacher - and it was certainly enlightening! Clearly this character is fun to read, due mainly to his apparent infallibility. The story set in the heat of New York when he was not quite 17 was particularly hilarious. 

Nonetheless it was quite enjoyable. Every now and then it's fun to read a story of triumph - and here was a collection of a few! 

I still think I prefer Gabriel Allon to Jack Reacher - I like my heroes a little more flawed (though older Reacher was an improvement!).
