Needs More

This was a short story within the Reacher universe, and while it was good, it felt like it was missing something.

If I didn’t know, I would’ve thought it was Lee Child writing this

I’m a big fan when I read that Lee Charles was handing over Jack to his little brother. I was worried that it wouldn’t be the same quality that he wouldn’t understand Jack as a character. I was really worried. I’m no longer worried. This was phenomenal one of the best short stories I’ve ever read, the author understands Jack

A Reacher story

How can you beat a Reacher story? This one needs an ending. Interesting as far as it goes, and could be confused with a Lee Child, Reacher tale. Needs to be a real story.

Cost

It should not cost a whole credit for a 1 hour book! There should be a way to pay partial.

Just a great story

I loved the story and the narrator. He takes the story to another level. Worth every penny!

What, short story......

30 min, short story one credit. 52 hour Clancy novel one credit...! What gives, we felt cheated. Reacher slept with the girl, they killed her, The End....cannot recommend!

Left unfinished

It seems like it could be a good book but this was more of an introduction chapter(s) so you can buy the book.
