Ex-military policeman Jack Reacher is a drifter. He's just passing through Margrave, Georgia, and in less than an hour, he's arrested for murder. Not much of a welcome. All Reacher knows is that he didn't kill anybody. At least not here. Not lately. But he doesn't stand a chance of convincing anyone. Not in Margrave, Georgia. Not a chance in hell.

When Max Krupin - Russia's leader - discovers that his kidney cancer has spread to his brain, he's determined to hide his diagnosis. He begins by getting rid of anyone threatening to him - as well as creating chaos in the region to keep the world's attention diverted. Soon, Krupin's illness becomes serious enough that he needs a more dramatic diversion, prompting him to invade the Baltics. Desperate to understand what's causing Krupin's unusually erratic behavior and Russia's aggressive moves in the region, America begins working with Russia's disgraced prime minister to stage a coup.

Meet Jake Oliver. The day will come when he's one of the best cleaners in the business, a man skilled at making bodies disappear. At the moment, however, he's a 22 year old rookie cop, unaware his life is about to change. In a burning barn a body is found--and the fire isn't the cause of death. The detectives working the case have a pretty good idea about what went down. But Officer Oliver thinks it's something else entirely, and pursues a truth others would prefer remain hidden - others who will go to extreme lengths to keep him quiet.

Excellent but I miss Jeff Harding
Don't get me wrong I do enjoy Kerry Shale's narrations but Jeff Harding is my all time favourite narrator (I've searched Audible using his name to discover authors new to me because Jeff's narration is always so very good).
I love Lee Child's writing, his character of Jack Reacher is probably my favourite and I listen to 4 or 5 audiobooks a week so have encountered many great protagonists from many great authors. John Connolly's Charlie Parker, Tom Wood's Victor the Assassin, Mark Douglas-Home's Sea Detective Cal McGill and many more are eagerly awaited in new books but Jack Reacher is such an interesting character particularly as shown in this collection of short stories. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing about his life as a kid and his travels around Asia, the US and even a short trip to England. As always I eagerly await the next instalment.

Jack Reacher, no middle name, no real change
Typical Lee Child. Cool, clever and Uber violent stories, concerning Jack and occasionally his brother. The reader makes him sound like Clint Eastwood - probably a better choice than Tom Cruise

No Middle Ground
A genuinely mixed collection of short stories with episodes from Reacher's teenage days up to "Too Much Time" which sets the scene for the next Jack Reacher novel "The Midnight Line" due out in Autumn 2017.
I'm often tempted by short stories but when a credit can buy you anything up to 50 hours or more it's hard to justify it on as little as an hour or two. I genuinely think Audible need to think about a system that possibly allows the purchase of multiple short stories for a single credit or indeed encourage authors to do more compilations like this in the audio format.
The quality of the stories does vary. Highlights for me were "High Heat" which tied Jack's history into a real-life serial killer and "Small Wars" which I found genuinely intriguing. Some of the rest I thought were a little pointless but if you'd like the odd nugget of Jack Reacher goodness occasionally between books this book will provide it.
The narrator Kerry Shale is Child's go-to guy for the shorter and abridged works. I prefer Jeff Harding but he does do a reasonable job.
All in all a good package for Reacher completists with the short stories available in a cost-sensible package. The quality and interest level of the stories do vary considerably though.

no middle name
Would you consider the audio edition of No Middle Name to be better than the print version?
yes but i have all Reacher books from audible but i have 2 hard books 1 i bought for my son as he has not got audible last year and this one as a easier to read as each story is 1 chapter
Who was your favorite character and why?
reacher because i can remember he is 6ft 5ins not 5ft 3ins like in the films
What does Kerry Shale bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
i love to listen in bed but as each chapter is a new story i can listen for 8 nights b4 sleepand get up after anew story b4 noon
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
no as the others last 2 sitting as 5-7 hours is a long time to sit without the work i did beforewhich is why i lie down to listen while husband is watching what he wants and not sport
Any additional comments?
this is the best Jack reacher is my fav story now Dick francis has died and Felix is too needing what the papers say for his ideas and not what his heroes neededthese are all the books i need to read or listen to

Some of the best Reacher stories
Some of these stories I already have, in fact I have all the previously released Audible Reacher short stories but there is enough other stories here for Lee Child fans to warrant spending one credit. Throughly recommended that especially if you haven't heard Kerry Shale as the narrator, superb

I have read the short stories already published on Kindle and EPub but there are new unpublished stories included. It has been some time since I read the short stories so they were a good listen and the new ones were the icing on the cake.

OK, but formulaic
Each of the stories has a mini-book feel. But by their nature they feel like they are in a rush to get to the end.
Nearly all of them try to put a whole rounded story into a short form and this necessitates cutting a lot of corners to get to the punch-line. It feels like a formulaic US cop-show that goes through the motions each week with our hero inevitably solving the case at the end of the show.

Voice let this one down
Struggled with the voice acting...
Wasting a hard one to get comfortable with.
Half the stories were decent

Terrible narration
The stories were hard to get into, due to the extremely distracting lisp of the narrator.
I would not recommend this narrator.

I felt that Lee enjoyed writing these stories
This set of short stories was a lot of fun to listen to. I can't put my finger on it but I felt that the author was talking to me far more directly in some of these stories than the long form he normally produces.
LC is one author I go back to from time to time when I'm on a long drive or working outside -there are a number of his novels that I can reliably go back to and listen to again - sort of like a favourite old movie. This set of short stories will be added to that list.
thanks Lee - I know you hang on my every word.... :)

Not really Reacher.
The stories are ok but it's hard to feel Reacher is really in this at all at times

not bad
very good book with entertaining stories. The narrator does, however, make Reacher sound like batman. He was a good narrator but not as fitting as Jeff Harding.

Exceptional listening!
Absolutely loved these brilliantly narrated stories...addictive. Couldn't fault the performance and didn't want Reacher's stories to end!
