Three Jack Reacher Novellas (with Bonus Jack Reacher's Rules)

Deep Down, Second Son, High Heat, and Jack Reacher's Rules

De: Lee Child

Narrado por: Dick Hill, Lee Child

This compilation includes three Jack Reacher novellas and the ultimate fan guide, "Jack Reacher's Rules".

Deep Down: In thriller master Lee Child’s short story "Deep Down", Jack Reacher must track down a spy in soldier’s clothing - by matching wits with four formidable females. Three are clean - but the fourth may prove fatal.

Summoned by Military Intelligence to Washington, D.C., Reacher is sent undercover. The assignment that awaits him: The army is meeting with its Capitol Hill paymasters for classified talks on a new, state-of-the-art sniper rifle for U.S. forces. But vital details about the weapon are leaking - straight from the Capitol and probably into the hands of unidentified foreign arms dealers. The prospect of any and every terrorist, mercenary, or dictator’s militia getting their hands on the latest superior firepower is unthinkable. That’s where Reacher comes in. His task: infiltrate the top-secret proceedings and smoke out the mole. His target: a quartet of high-powered Army political liaison officers - all of them fast-track women on their way to the top.

According to his bosses, it’s a zero-danger mission. No need to draw a gun...just chat over drinks. But Reacher knows that things are rarely what they seem. And he’s learned the hard way never to underestimate an opponent. Or four. Lessons that will come in handy when he starts digging for the truth - and gets his hands a lot dirtier than he expected.

Second Son: A young Jack Reacher knows how to finish a fight so it stays finished. He knows how to get the job done so it stays done. And, in one of his earliest challenges, he knows that his analytical brain is just as important as his impressive brawn.

Okinawa, 1974: Even at 13, Jack Reacher knows how to outwit and overpower anyone who stands in his way. And as the new kid in town, that’s pretty much everyone. His family has come to the Pacific with his father, who’s preparing for a top-secret Marine Corps operation. After receiving a rude welcome from the local military brats, Reacher and his older brother, Joe, intend to teach them a lesson they won’t forget. But it’s soon clear that there’s more at stake than pride. When his family’s future appears to come crumbling down, it’s the youngest Reacher who rises to the occasion with all the decisive cunning and bravura that will one day be his deadly trademark.

High Heat: In the midst of a savage heat wave and an infamous murder spree, a blackout awakens the dark side of the city that never sleeps - and a young Jack Reacher takes action as only he can.

July 1977: Jack Reacher is almost 17, and he stops in New York City on the way to visit his brother at West Point. The summer heat is suffocating, 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...but then the power grid fails and the lights go out, plunging the lawless city into chaos. What does a visiting teenager do in the dark? If that visiting teenager is Jack Reacher, the answer is plenty.

Jack Reacher's Rules: "Jack Reacher’s Rules" is the ultimate fan’s guide to the World of Reacher! Featuring selections from all 17 electrifying Jack Reacher novels and an introduction from Lee Child himself, this one-of-a-kind audiobook compiles timeless advice from maverick former army cop Jack Reacher, the hero of Lee Child’s blockbuster thrillers and now the star of a major motion picture.

meh

Not that good of a novella. I found the story to be far fetched and not very engaging. The narration was good as always with this narrator.

day to day

sometimes the day in the life of a man is just that... can't be a life or death mission every day.

Too Cool for Words!

Simply outstanding especially things you would never hear Reacher say and having the author read the list made it that much better!

Missing Dick Hill

Dick Hill IS (was) Jack Reacher. Scott Brick does a great job. I’ve enjoyed his narration of the Tom Clancy books, but it’s clearly a different feel than what I was used to for the Jack Reacher series. Dick Hill will definitely be missed by all who listen to the Jack Reacher books, especially if you listen from the beginning.

surprises at almost every turn

expect the unexpected and a real page turner, even on a tablet mobile device. an enjoyable, timeless read and reread.

Best story

This was my first Jack Reacher experience and I was so disappointed when I reach my destination and had to stop listening. Great story and Dick Hill is Jack Reacher. Hope to find another as good.

So you probably have to be a Reacher fan...

You probably have to be a fan to really enjoy this, but I am, and I loved it. Interesting novellas, and fun Reacher trivia. Top notch narration from Mr. Hill, as always.

The bonus material is terrible

The short stories are nice and give good background on Reacher growing up. even though they are short, they are exciting and intimate.

The bonus "rules of Teacher" is absolute crap. it's 2 hours of single sentences snipped out of Jack Reacher books. there is no attempt at editing or organizing by theme. A high schooler could have done better. this collection lost two stars because of this garbage. was it computer generated?

Nice quick stories

Quick enjoyable stories and the narration was superb. Sometimes full length stories can get tedious.

They are short stories

The stories were ok, but can not compare to full Reacher novel. Temper your expectations.
