MatchUp by Lee Child
3.0
It's a bit of a cheat to mark this book as read, because to be perfectly honest, I only read one story from the collection. I picked up MatchUp specifically to read the new Diana Gabaldon piece, co-written with Steve Berry, called Past Prologue. In it, Berry's recurring character Cotton Malone stumbles through a circle of standing stones in the Scottish Highlands and is transported back in time to 1755, where he meets a certain tall, well-built red-headed Scotsman. Okay, it's Jamie Fraser. For Outlander fans, this is a fun little read, and Jamie gets a bit of dialogue that's as heartbreaking and powerful as most Jamie Fraser speeches. Other than that, it's an amusing adventure story, but not exactly earth-shattering.
I'm sure thriller fans may find more to read in this anthology, but I really only intended to read the one story, and none of the others caught my eye enough to spend time on.
