About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

**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

Critic Reviews

After 21 missions in 20 years no one can be in any doubt that messing up bad guys is what the ex-military policeman does best — and these 12 tall tales suggest he’s been doing it all his life... Lee Child, like his creation, always knows exactly what he’s doing — and he does it well. Time in his company is never wasted. The first three chapters of his next Reacher novel, The Midnight Line — due in November — leave you wanting more. (Mark Sanderson)
The Midnight Line...won't be published until early November. This collection of every short story Child has penned about the rootless Reacher will serve to keep any cravings at bay...True fans will love this.
If you ever wonder about the past of Jack Reacher - the action hero whose adventures shift millions - then get this collection of short stories. Including a new novella, the clever, twisty tales reveal that even the 13-year-old Reacher was a force to be reckoned with.

This set of short stories was a lot of fun to listen to. I can't put my finger on it but I felt that the author was talking to me far more directly in some of these stories than the long form he normally produces.

LC is one author I go back to from time to time when I'm on a long drive or working outside -there are a number of his novels that I can reliably go back to and listen to again - sort of like a favourite old movie. This set of short stories will be added to that list.

thanks Lee - I know you hang on my every word.... :)

I felt that Lee enjoyed writing these stories

The volume is way too low You either need to get the voice actor to speak louder or do something to fix the volume because it’s impossible to hear with out having to lower the to speed 0x8
Just to hear anything

Good introduction to Jack reacher but

It was very interesting to have Reacher developed into what we all know.
The situations that he always finds himself in, were short sharp and to the point!
Joe's character was a surprise!

Very good

Absolutely loved these brilliantly narrated stories...addictive. Couldn't fault the performance and didn't want Reacher's stories to end!

Exceptional listening!

very good book with entertaining stories. The narrator does, however, make Reacher sound like batman. He was a good narrator but not as fitting as Jeff Harding.

not bad

Not really Reacher.
