This is a great story, and fascinating twist on character development for a very unique character. I've read every one of Lee Child's Jack Reacher novels. This short story is like "The Enemy," a prequel to give you back story on the character. This time he goes way back, introducing us to Jack as a 13 year old in Okinawa. My only complaint is that it was too short. I realize that's the whole concept of Amazon singles, but like all other Lee Child books, I didn't want it to end.For readers who haven't met Jack Reacher already, this is a good, quick intro. The whole series is helpfully numbered by the publisher, so you can go back to the beginning and read them in order. If you like Jack Bauer in 24, you'll love Jack Reacher. If you're already a Lee Child fan, this should help hold you over until his new book is available.
