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.

A good background to the Reacher family, bit a bit short for one credit. He then solves the mystery with no solving!!

I'm really annoyed that it's cost me a credit for 1.5 hours worth of book. it should be more obvious that this is only short story not a full book. lesson learned I should always check the amount of time the book runs for.

This was a super fun quick short story. I would have loved one more chapter involving the parents at the end but I'm just greedy.

Enjoyable quick story
