( ) AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. Why do authors feel compelled to write short story dreck, with nothing additive to their characters? Is it just to see if they can? This novella? goes back to when Jack Reacher was a 13-year old, and his father is moved to a new island posting by the Army. It is just silly that the MPs allow Jack to do their jobs, solving the "thefts" of a code book and school exam. Set in Okinawa, Japan in 1974 this novella is the first book in the Jack Reacher series by chronology and in publishing order comes after Worth Dying For. It's a light and short story giving some further background to Reacher himself, his childhood and the family dynamic. Within we see the characteristic investigative style of Reacher beginning to form, as well as his way with the ladies. Overall, a good little background piece with a short yet interesting story arc. no reviews | add a review
