Better off Dead (sneak peek)
https://www.jackreacher.com/wp-conte...24spG2SDbYkVQA
I hope this works. I have been reading Lee Child's Jack Reacher books for over a decade. This is supposedly the first chapter of the new Jack Reacher book Better Off Dead. It looks like it is also in the book The Sentinel. |

I really enjoyed Jack Reacher books until they picked Tom Cruise to play him in the movies. UGH!

FYI, Amazon Prime will be airing a new Jack Reacher series this year or next. Jack Reacher will be played by an actor named Alan Ritchson.

He was one of the minor actors in a Hunger Games movie among other things.

Tom cruise on the other hand, while in great shape, is a 5'7", 155lb twerp. I understand that they wanted the name recognition and Cruise is a good actor, but they really did a disservice to the franchise. People who haven't read the books don't understand just how powerful Reacher is. He still takes losses but in most cases, he can stand up to a threat and defeat it and that's part of what I enjoy about the books. He doesn't get into 5 minute long brawls with people, excepting of course, Paulie as noted above. He starts or is attacked and quickly finishes the battle. He is so dominating that the plot doesn't need the battle to resolve it. The plot has to be clever because the physical battle is almost always a given win for Reacher. |
