I like what Lee Child is doing with these little stories between the release of his novels these days. He's filling in a bit of the backstory of Reacher's life. I think I've read somewhere that this one has some bearing on the latest novel, but I'm not sure how that would be based on what I understand the new one to be about. Regardless, it's a quick 30+ page read that moves quickly and has everything I've come to appreciate about a Jack Reacher story. Now, it's just a bit longer until another full-sized helping arrives on the shelves (or my Nook).
