No Middle Name The Complete Collected Jack Reacher Short Stories

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.

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!).
