A non canon entry in the Jack Widow series. Not a bad storyline, but I was disappointed. I would guess that it was an early draft for the Jack Widow character, as there were inconsistencies from the Widow series. The character's name of Jack Cameron is just one example. I would also guess that it was one of the author's first forays in to writing. In my judgement, it was rather amateurish, with many continuity issues, most which could have been corrected if the author had just taken time to go through another edit, changing names and timelines a little. One of the main issues I had with the story is the author described Jack as twenty years old, but the the story characterized him with the thought processes, knowledge, and confidence of a man much older.
If it had been me, I wouldn't have released it in its current form. A proofreader and good editor might have saved it.

Jack Cameron is Jack Reachers' son and, like his dad, he's walking down a desert road, destination unknown.
Nearly knocked down by a careering car, he catches up with it after it crashes soon after.
The driver, a U.S. Marshall, has had a heart attack.
At the hospital he comes to long enough to warn Jack and Kara is in danger.
That's enough to point him in the right direction (it's suspension of disbelief time).
Let's just say that he takes after his father!
“Reckoning Road” is an ok read but very derivative.
2.5 Stars, raised to 3 Stars.

Reckoning Road (Jack Cameron Short - Get Reacher #4)
This is a great read and another tale of a chance encounter that Cameron finds himself fighting someone else's battle to keep a total stranger safe from harm. Can't wait to see what happens when we get to the next one. Thanks, Scott Blade for keeping Cameron on the road seeking his father, Reacher.

Thanks Scott
Finally an actual ending and not a CLIFF HANGER. Those are fine but then I forget what that book was about.
I love all the CAMERON stories and eagerly await more.

Takes after his father
Good short story of clear thinking & bravery. Just what every reader would like to be able to do, but can't.
