Second Son by Lee Child, a Jack Reacher Origins Short Story

Jack Reacher fans will want to check out a new short story published yesterday titled Second Son by Lee Child. This origins story is released exclusively in ebook format.

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 is available to download in Kindle format, as a Nook Book, an Apple iBook (via iTunes), and from other ebook retailers.
