THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING JACK REACHER SERIES • Don’t miss the hit streaming series Reacher! The ultimate Jack Reacher experience: a thrilling new novella and eleven previously published stories, together for the first time in one pulse-pounding collection from Lee Child. No Middle Name begins with “Too Much Time,” a brand-new work of short fiction that finds Reacher in a hollowed-out town in Maine, where he witnesses a random bag-snatching but sees much more than a simple crime. “Small Wars” takes readers back to 1989, when Reacher is an MP assigned to solve the brutal murder of a young officer found along an isolated forest road in Georgia—and whose killer may be hiding in plain sight. In “Not a Drill,” Reacher tries to take some downtime, but a pleasant hike in Maine turns into a walk on the wild side—and perhaps something far more sinister. “High Heat” time-hops to 1977, when Reacher is a teenager in sweltering New York City during a sudden blackout that awakens the dark side of the city that never sleeps. Okinawa is the setting of “Second Son,” which reveals the pivotal moment when young Reacher’s sharp “lizard brain” becomes just as important as his muscle. In “Deep Down,” Reacher tracks down a spy by matching wits with four formidable females—three of whom are clean, but the fourth may prove fatal. Rounding out the collection are “Guy Walks into a Bar,” “James Penney’s New Identity,” “Everyone Talks,” “The Picture of the Lonely Diner,” “Maybe They Have a Tradition,” and “No Room at the Motel.”No suitcase. No destination. No middle name. No matter how far Reacher travels off the beaten path, trouble always finds him. Feel bad for trouble. Praise for No Middle Name “Captivating . . . classic [Lee] Child . . . This volume demonstrates what his fans already know: he’s a born storyteller and an astute observer.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Lee Child, like his creation, always knows exactly what he’s doing—and he does it well. Time in his company is never wasted.”—Evening Standard
As someone who has been a fan of the Jack Reacher series for quite a few years I am always seeking more to read on this unusual retired Army police officer who travels around the country and always seems to find unusual people and incidents to investigate. I love short stories and when I saw this book (No Middle Name: The Complete collected Jack Reacher Short Stories by Lee Child) on Amazon for a bargain price I immediately sent for it.I recently received the book and found this Jack Reacher collection to be absolutely fantastic. I always try and make it a habit to begin a book from the first page and move on to the end of the book, unlike some people to jump around the chapters etc. This book begins with novella, “Too much time” which turned out to be an interesting story where a crooked cop attempted to frame Jack, but of course he is way too smart for that to happen. I moved on to read the rest of the wonderful short stories (Second son, high heat, deep down, small wars, James Penney’s new identity, everyone talks, not a drill, maybe they have a tradition, guy walks into a bar, no room at the motel and the picture of the lonely diner.Even though I love a good action novel, but there are times I also like reading short story collections rather than full size novels, and I especially loved this Jack Reacher collection.If you are a fan of Jack Reacher you should check out this fantastic short story collection.Rating: 5 Stars.
