Then again. we see Reacher, a teen this time, a 16 y/o kid, wandering around New York City in the late 70's when the so-called organized crime like the Italian mob was still ruling the streets, and guess what, our kid, our 16 y/o Reacher, not only that he's fooling a co-ed 19 y/o beautiful young girl to go out with him and give him the time of his life, but at the very same time, he's helping a female FBI agent in her quest to bring down a made man of the Italian mob ruling the streets, where in fact our Reacher is the key in defeating this made man... Christopher hedges so many restrictions around Reacher, I can't imagine how he'll be able to investigate anything. So...naturally...he does. Piece'a cake.

Match Up (June 2017) Lee co-wrote a story with Kathy Reichs, titled “Faking a Murderer” which features Reacher and Temperance Brennan. These new high-power rifles described in the book, can kill people a mile away. Reacher’s assigned to follow & uncover 4 woman discovered in the espionage & identify which of these women are in this foreign intelligence “war plan”. Reacher’s clairvoyance, attractiveness, gentlemen techniques gets the woman to abandon their key woman strengths for him!

Retailers:

It's always nice to see Reacher in uniform and see snippets of his military days, and this book delivered that. The story is set in Washington, DC, in 1986. Narrated in the third-person point of view, the story concerns a new sniper rifle that could give US military forces an advantage in combat. It's become apparent that someone is leaking classified information. The "someone" appears to be one of four women officers, all West Pointers, who are giving testimony to a Congressional group and asking for funding for the new weapon. Reacher is called in to play an undercover role to ferret out the one who's leaking information. I can't really find anything about this short story to recommend it. Reacher is called from Germany to go undercover in a congressional hearing regarding a new sniper rifle. Military Intelligence thinks that there is a leak as to the specs of that rifle. Reacher's job is to find the leak.

So, in the end this is 4 different stories of varying quality. The average score of this collection is 3 stars out of 5. Lee Child develops another novella, short story. Being a short story it is easy to follow the characters. This story has good bones -- it has a compelling lead character, a tight plot, an interesting mystery, believable tension, and a memorable climax -- but comes off the rails due to a few notable shortcomings in the writing. This especially annoyed me because this had such potential to be a tremendously good short story, were it not for these irksome missteps:

It encompasses everything I love about Reacher - his cool assessment of people, his methodical and logical reactions to danger and his quiet humour. A] feverishly thrilling series . . . With Child, you can always count on furious action.” —The Miami Herald

Sanderson, Mark (11 May 2017). "No Middle Name by Lee Child - review". Evening Standard . Retrieved 4 March 2020. He's not just physically big, or I should say huge, in great shape, with a dominant presence and heavy fist, but he's also smart, sharp, always able to identify hidden clues, always able to make great deductions that will lead to finding the ideal solution to solve any type of problem, always winning any kind of confrontation, mental or physical, and always being the best among the best, with no flaws just plain old superhero on our side always winning against any villain. What is wrong in all this picture, in all those books, is the fact this guy is like a Superman, not just a super-hero, but in a very exaggerated way a Superman type of hero, no matter of other conditions, no matter his age, no matter of the environment, no matter what, this guy is the best in everything, is invincible, with no weakness and with plenty of qualities and traits. FaceOff (June 2014) Lee and Joseph Finder co-wrote the story “Good and Valuable Consideration” which pairs Reacher with Finder’s Heller. Moving to a new place is always hard and Okinawa is no exception. Reacher must prove himself to the neighborhood bully, he meets a girl and he solves two mysteries.Under suspicion are four young senior ranked female officers one of which is believed to be the culprit. But which one? A] feverishly thrilling series . . . With Child, you can always count on furious action." —The Miami Herald Admittedly I probably love it because I already know (and love) Reacher and his stories are somewhat familiar so obviously he will outsmart everyone and win the day! That's not really a spoiler is it??! I reread it because I wanted to see if the second time would improve my opinion of it...it didn't, but it is still a good story. What can I say, it's a Reacher...and he figures it out so easily while I'm sitting here totally stupid. I liked how Child informed us of Reacher's character with his mouthing off to Christopher, his observational skills in figuring out what Christopher's hand movements mean. Without being an info dump, it tells us that Reacher is very good at his job.

Watchlist (2010) Print edition of previously audio-only serialized novels The Chopin Manuscript (2007) and The Copper Bracelet (2009). Top secret schematics for a brand new sniper rifle are being sold to a foreign competitor, at least that’s what army intelligence thinks and they want it to stop.

Fiction or not, this is too much of a "superhero" build and exposure. In fact, in any script for a decent movie, in screenplay writing, or creative writing, or any planned role-play scenario, there is a very important tool named "character sheet" part of the "character design" where the creator of the character that will soon take shape, sets a list of qualities and traits of his future character and same time a list of weaknesses of flaws of the same character. Not doing so, is a drastic violation of the "character design" or "role-play" gender and style, leading to the so-called "Godmoding" that is not so well received by any and all serious creators and authors.
