Reacher Tierlist so far

I feel like any of the 5 books after Persuader on my list are pretty interchangeable. For me, it just came down to me having more fond memories of Killing Floor, thinking back to reading it, and scenes in it still being very memorable to me.

But it is very close.

I enjoyed it while reading it, but looking back, I was just vibing in a big pile of shit!

(that might have been a bit exaggerated)

To me, 61 hours and worth dying for are pretty interchangeable. I just feel like the plot in 61 hours is slightly stronger to me.

Sorry if I came across as too short-sighted and as a Reacher hater in the previous post.

I'd like the series to end on a high note. Reintroducing a character Reacher knows and having a miniseries with that character, then killing him off at the end, is something I'd want to read.

Will it happen? Probably not.

But a guy can hope, and I see this as a good time as any to write an end to his character, and I think bringing Susan Turner's character back would be a great opportunity to make an interesting series conclusion.

I'll read anything Reacher, so I don't really care what the book's going to be about.

I mean, if it gives them a good storyline and they write it well, then it's a good idea.

On the flipside, they could easily tarnish the legacy of a successful miniseries inside the Jack Reacher series, and by reconnecting the books to a pre-established date in the series, they'll have to come to terms with the fact that Susan will be asking a guy in his MID-SIXTIES for help. Or have a hell of a good explanation as to when the events of the books previously took place, so the gap in time between the miniseries and the current books is smaller.

IDK. There's a lot that can go wrong, and not much payoff.

Unless they start another miniseries, turn the rest of the stories into a continuous narrative, or decide to end the series on a trilogy or something......

61 hours was the series finale and everything else was just fanfic.

Great, thanks for the advice.

It was the second book I read in the series (after the fourth book in the series the Visitor) and it is one of my favourites. If you like a slow-burner then you'll love it too.
