High Heat is a novella. It is a brief insight into a character (Jack Reacher) that every reader has claimed as their own. It's not meant to have deep plots or flowery prose.Ther is a goodly dose of dry humor and some priceless one-liners. Lee Child has offered us here a look into the formation of the dark lone-wolf.Reacher's high intelligence is shown. His awkward social skills are seen in their formative stage.Even as a teen, Reacher was never a man to be led by his "little brain". Although choosing to complete his "mission" while being stared down by Son of Sam might be construed as "little-brainish".Altogether, High Heat is a quick read that is true to character. A little tease for the upcoming full length Never Go Back due in September.High Heat is exactly what the author promised, and for that reason I give it a solid 5 stars.
