About this listen

In this new exclusive short story, number-one Sunday Times best-selling author Lee Child goes back to 1989, when Jack Reacher is serving as an officer in the military police.

A young lieutenant colonel in a stylish handmade uniform roars through the damp woods of Georgia in her new silver Porsche - until she meets a very tall soldier with a broken-down car. What could connect a cold-blooded off-post shooting with Reacher; his elder brother, Joe; and a secretive unit of pointy heads from the Pentagon?

Small Wars is a brand-new Jack Reacher short story, published exclusively as an audio download.

Includes an exclusive chapter from the new Reacher novel #20, Make Me (publication 10 September 2015).

straight into the action, then the investigation with the added intrigue of Reacher still being in the army plus the involvement of brother Joe, & all wrapped up in the time it takes for a decent bath.

A good story just far too short. I thought that the length was a typo, otherwise I would not have wasted a credit on it.
Sadly disappointed.

Would you listen to Small Wars again? Why?

No, I thought the narrator was terrible. Very monotone and he said she said.

Would you be willing to try another one of Kerry Shale’s performances?

No. I didn't like his narration and I cancelled the next book on Audio. I will go back to reading on my kindle for the next book so as not to spoil it.

Any additional comments?

I can't really tell if I liked the story because I didn't enjoy the voices. I shouldn't really have listened as I read all the other books in the series. Lesson learned.

Wish I had read it instead
