Summary

Thriller master Lee Child presents an exclusive ebook novella about the teenage Reacher.

July 1977. Jack Reacher is almost 17, and he stops in New York on his way from South Korea to visit his brother at West Point. The summer heat is suffocating, fires are raging in the Bronx, the city is bankrupt, and the mad gunman known as Son of Sam is still on the loose.

Reacher meets a woman with a problem, and agrees to help her... and then the power grid fails and the lights go out, plunging the lawless city that never sleeps into chaos. What does a visiting teenager do in the dark? If that visiting teenager is Jack Reacher, the answer is: plenty.

Not bad

Okay for a short story. Not worth a full credit wait until it is a low price so it won’t be bad for 5 chapters

An afternoon read.

Enjoyed the narrative and the heat definitely came across. Perhaps the young guy needed a bit more experience before reaching this high level of awareness. It took me 30 years.

Short but sweet

An interesting hot night in New York for young Reacher to show his intelligence and wit at such a young age.

Awesome story

Brilliant short story. Finished in one go and left me wanting so much more. Kept me enthralled throughout. Hell I even forgave the horrific casting of Tom Cruise as Reacher it was that good, nah I'll never forgive that mistake lol
