At the end of the story you are anticipating more conclusions. The author definitely could have gotten many more miles out of the story, but good nonetheless.

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

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.

Decent story but not complete. A cop out, could have easily made it a complete short story.

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

Just a great story

A whole credit for an incomplete 1 hour listen seems too much to me...but I need more words for the review.

it needs an ending

This is another wonderful short story. I enjoyed completely. I do wish was a bit longer.

Wow.

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

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

The story was actually more interesting than the most recent full length novel but the short story was too short. I didn’t feel like any of the plot points were explained well enough and then it just ends. Needed to be fleshed out a little.

Ends abruptly

Nothing. Good quick read/listen. Why do you need 15 words minimum? Authors are the writers.

Enjoyed story. Scotts style is always fun.
