In this new short story from #1 New York Times
bestselling author Lee Child, available exclusively as an
eBook, 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
thirteen, 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.
Second Son also includes a
thrilling excerpt from Lee Child’s forthcoming novel, The
Affair.
