I've
gotten hooked on the dry humor of Jack Reacher so I've been picking
up the novels at used books stores when I see them. But, that also
means I'm reading them out of order. Fortunately, each book is
really a stand alone story and it really doesn't seem to matter what
order I read them in. In some ways, the series reminds me of the old
70s and 80s TV shows of The Incredible Hulk and Knight Rider. The hero, Jack
Reacher, get embroiled in a dangerous situation and needs to
investigate and save an innocent person – most often a beautiful
woman. In this case, the beautiful woman is an FBI agent that was
kidnapped because of who her godfather is – the President of the
US. Jack becomes involved because he happened to be in the wrong
place at the right time. At first, Holly tries to protect Jack until
recognizes Jack has skills that can help her. The kidnappers – an
extreme white supremacist group that wants to convert and control the
nation. At the end, all issues are solved, and like Bruce Banner,
Jack walks down the road, by himself, with muddy music playing in my
head.
