No Middle Name: Jack Reacher, The Complete Collected Short Stories
by
by
Lee Child puts together a collection of short stories featuring his engaging hero & drifter Jack Reacher. Here you will find tales of Reacher as a child, a teenager & an adult which puts a new spin on the more formulaic stories we are used to reading.
Five of these stories have been previously published as e books, six in other publications & there is a new novella (Too Much Time) to get things started. All in all it is a decent collection to please Reacher fans like myself while we wait for the publication of the next full length novel, The Midnight Line, which is out in November 2017. If you cannot wait that long the first three chapters of The Midnight Line can be found at the end of this collection & what a good start to a story they are too.....roll on November.

I keep hearing about Reacher (in books) but was not really impressed with the "action" (read boring gunfights) movies. Thank you for the review!

I've read all the Reacher novels and they are great fun. They do follow a bit of a formula, but are straightforward, enjoyable and very easy to read. I saw both the films and even allowing for the miscasting of Tom Cruise they are poor compared to the novels. The first Reacher film was the worst, despite it being based on One Shot which is one of the best novels.
