Jack Reacher Books in Order, by Lee Child
Jack Reacher, a former major in the United States Army Military Police Corps, is now a drifter who travels across the United States, getting involved in various situations and helping people along the way.
Every time Reacher finds himself in a new location, he faces a different set of challenges that often involve criminal activities, conspiracies, and threats to innocent people.
Known for his strong sense of justice, intelligence, and formidable combat skills, Jack Reacher takes it upon himself to right wrongs and bring justice to those who deserve it.
The Jack Reacher book series was written by British author Lee Child but decided to stop and his younger brother Andrew took over.
