About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A Jack Reacher short story published as an individual audiobook, now also available in the complete Jack Reacher short story collection, No Middle Name.

Ever wondered what early experiences shaped Reacher's explosive career as butt-kicker supreme, the one-man guided-missile battler for justice? Lee Child looks back on an incident in his hero Jack Reacher's teenage years as the younger son of a tough career US Marine, on a faraway military base in the Pacific.

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, Second Son follows on from Worth Dying For.

Critic Reviews

'The coolest continuing series character now on offer.' (Stephen King)

Beware! This is a very short story. Do not listen if your looking for a typical Jack Reacher story. It is just background and out of sequence (0.5 would have been a better fit than 15.5). It certainly does provide information on the character but there was really nothing here that the other books haven't told us in some way.

Very short book
