Summary

**NOW A MAJOR PRIME TV SERIES STARRING ALAN RITCHSON**
This is the first time all Lee Child's shorter fiction featuring Jack Reacher has been collected into one volume.
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.
Listen to 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 and audio 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
"Including a new novella, the clever, twisty tales reveal that even 13-year-old Reacher was a force to be reckoned with." (Sunday Mirror)
‘Jeff Harding’s [...] narration captures Reacher’s character perfectly [...] you have to savour every minute.’ The Sunday Times

Short stories by a master
Lee Child has brought together a collection of his stories which feature the wandering Jack Reacher including one story where Jack is thirteen and another where he is sixteen which give an interesting insist into how the man evolved from the boy. Brilliant collection, all enjoyable.

new narrator
This book needs a better narrator. He has quite an annoying voice, very flat toned.

So-so
A set of short stories, some of which are good, others a bit of a waste of time.

All the short stories in one place
Lots of different aspects of Reacher in short, bite sized segments.
Like flashbacks of his youth and military career.
A way of fleshing out the character and telling us why he is like he is
Excellent.👍🤓

No Middle Ground
A genuinely mixed collection of short stories with episodes from Reacher's teenage days up to "Too Much Time" which sets the scene for the next Jack Reacher novel "The Midnight Line" due out in Autumn 2017.
I'm often tempted by short stories but when a credit can buy you anything up to 50 hours or more it's hard to justify it on as little as an hour or two. I genuinely think Audible need to think about a system that possibly allows the purchase of multiple short stories for a single credit or indeed encourage authors to do more compilations like this in the audio format.
The quality of the stories does vary. Highlights for me were "High Heat" which tied Jack's history into a real-life serial killer and "Small Wars" which I found genuinely intriguing. Some of the rest I thought were a little pointless but if you'd like the odd nugget of Jack Reacher goodness occasionally between books this book will provide it.
The narrator Kerry Shale is Child's go-to guy for the shorter and abridged works. I prefer Jeff Harding but he does do a reasonable job.
All in all a good package for Reacher completists with the short stories available in a cost-sensible package. The quality and interest level of the stories do vary considerably though.

Reacher sounds like Clint Eastwood
Loved all the short stories some shorter than others but couldn't get past thinking of Dirty Harry when Reacher was voiced.
