Finished Th 6/27/19
This was a collection of novellas and short stories of the Jack Reacher series that I bought at the library book sale on Fr 6/7/19.
I was reading the collection over several weeks- kinda 'sipping'.
One of the selections, 'SECOND SON', concerned Jack's life with his family when he was a teenager on Guam. Jack is thirteen and Joe is fifteen; his mother is called to Paris when she learns that her father (also Military) is dying. The story is about how Jack and Joe deal with a gang of kids on the island. Joe was the 'book-smart' brother, but Jack is presented as one who is the brother who can 'think on his feet'.
Another story features Joe where he executes a Soviet spy.
All of the stories were good, and I almost wish that he would have used the ideas and expanded them into novels.
Anything by Lee Child is worth a look, and it it 'the best' of Airport or Beach Reads.
