Publisher's summary

The new short story from Karin Slaughter and Lee Child!

Twice the action.

Twice the drama.

Double the trouble.

Will Trent is undercover at Fort Knox. His assignment: to investigate a 22-year-old murder. His suspect's name: Jack Reacher.

Jack Reacher is in Fort Knox on his own mission: to bring down a dangerous criminal ring operating at the heart of America’s military. Except now Will Trent is on the scene.

But there’s a bigger conspiracy at play - one that neither the special agent nor the ex-military cop could have anticipated. And the only option is for Jack Reacher and Will Trent to team up and play nicely. If they can....

Great Short Story

I needed something to listen to while on a flight and came across this book. it was a great quick listen for my flight. I wish it were longer or had a part 2. it ended way too soon. but definitely worth the listen.

Reacher

If you're a Reacher fan, check it out. It is very short, but anything dealing with Jack Reacher...

ended abruptly

I found that the story ended unexpectedly. like there was more of a story to be told but the writer ran out of time.

very good

sometimes short stories are just not satisfying, especially when they have familiar characters from novels. this is not the case here. a very satisfying listen. stands alone too I think.

Not terrible. Not great.

The narrator has an awkward cadence that is both anxiety inducing and mind numbing. Tough to listen to.

Side Dish

This was an interesting distraction, and I bet it was a fun collaboration for the authors. I’m not familiar with the Jack Reacher character, but I got a great sense of him in this little side show. Will Trent was awesome, per usual.

Love Jack Reacher but this is incomplete

Story good. but incomplete. Ends the story without an end.
Two different narrators with two different voices... really?

Lack of a finish, very, very disappointing

What the heck. What a disappointment. They ended it in the middle of the story.

Ended without an ending

Good beginning to a story, but it ended without an ending. All of a sudden it was over. Did I miss something or will there be another short story to complete the story. It left you hanging, I did not appreciate that.

Great short story

Love both authors. A perfect collaboration. I’ll definitely be looking for more collaborations like this.
