4 posts | 13 read | 7 to read
In this new short story from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Child, available exclusively as an eBook, a young Jack Reacher knows how to finish a fight so it stays finished. He knows how to get the job done so it stays done. And, in one of his earliest challenges, he knows that his analytical brain is just as important as his impressive brawn. Okinawa, 1974. Even at thirteen, Jack Reacher knows how to outwit and overpower anyone who stands in his way. And as the new kid in town, thats pretty much everyone. His family has come to the Pacific with his father, whos preparing for a top-secret Marine Corps operation. After receiving a rude welcome from the local military brats, Reacher and his older brother, Joe, intend to teach them a lesson they wont forget. But its soon clear that theres more at stake than pride. When his familys future appears to come crumbling down, its the youngest Reacher who rises to the occasion with all the decisive cunning and bravura that will one day be his deadly trademark. Second Son also includes a thrilling excerpt from Lee Childs forthcoming novel, The Affair.

Book 15.5 in the Jack Reacher series and I really don't understand the value of these slotted in short stories.

I love Jack, he's a solid five star read in the full length novels but these short stories have no point and neither do they add to the back story.

In this one we meet Jack as a fifteen year old. Jack didn't read fifteen to me, at times he felt super childish, and others an adult.

Did Lee Child actually write these?

⌯ Whew! Surprisingly good. I decided to read the Jack Reacher series in chronological order. It never disappoints me at all.⁣

⌯ I want to know more about Jack Reacher. This is a short story, but a very awesome starter for the whole series. For a 13-year-old Jack, he's very clever! I'm excited! Yay! A new favorite. 😊⁣

TrishMcCallister Hi @transemr !! Stoked to have you for the books & brews swap. I am actually a fellow Texan and grew up in Dallas but have been living in CA the last 5 years. Hope you are having a great day! 6y
transemr 👋🏼 I can‘t claim texan status - I‘m from Atlanta originally and here right now b/c of my partner‘s job (she‘s from CA, incidentally). it‘s just so hot here. 😰 6y
TrishMcCallister Haha that‘s too funny. And I don‘t blame you. I definitely like the consistently mild weather of California. I am actually moving to Savanah next fall for school. @transemr 6y

In this short story, Lee Child brings us back to the early 70s when a 13 year old Reacher has to uphold the reputation of both his brother and their dad.
