About the series
Lee Child's Jack Reacher is one of the bestselling thriller series of the last thirty years. Reacher is a 6'5", 250-pound former US Army Major who left the service to drift across America with nothing but a folding toothbrush — and an unerring instinct for stumbling into trouble that calls for rough, decisive justice.
Recommended reading order
The novels are largely standalone, so you can start almost anywhere. Most readers begin at the beginning (Killing Floor) or with One Shot — the basis for the first Tom Cruise film. From book 25 (The Sentinel) onward, the series is co-written with Lee Child's brother Andrew Child; the tone shifts subtly but the formula holds.
