Lee Child and Jack Reacher

The following is a YouTube of Lee Child talking about his character Jack Reacher in which he reveals two facts about Reacher that he has not spoken of before.



I love the Reacher stories. He is a former U.S. Army Military Police Major. He served thirteen years, was mustered out, and now lives with no permanent address, no suitcase, and no income. He is an unconventional character with the deductive skills of Sherlock Holmes. His adventures are twisting and require unique skills to solve. I was captured by the series on the first page of the first one I read. There are eleven in the series so far. I'll list them for you:

1. Killing Floor 1997
2. Die Trying 1998
3. Tripwire 1999
4. Running Blind 2000
5. Echo Burning 2001
6. Without Fail 2002
7. Persuader 2003
8. The Enemy 2004
9. One Shot 2005
10. The Hard Way 2006
11. Bad Luck and Trouble 2007

Lee Child is in his 50's so the series could have a long run if he doesn't get tired of the character. I think Child's skill as a writer will continue even if he does and the compelling stories will continue.

If you are looking for a good book give one of these a try. They were a jackpot for me.
