For one thing, the technologically averse Reacher has now acquired a cell phone. The change in authors is subtle but detectable.

It’s Andrew who wrote most of “The Sentinel.” But, because the names “Child” and Reacher” are forever bound together, he adopted the pen name Andrew Child to carry the series into the future.
So Grant (aka Child), has turned the series over to his younger brother Andrew Grant, the author of nine thrillers published under his real name.

Lately, he’s been working with Amazon to develop a Jack Reacher TV show starring Alan Ritchson, an actor as enormous and menacing as the character in the books - and a welcome change from the height-challenged Tom Cruise, who played the role in two Hollywood movies.īut Reacher, the mythic avenger who wanders the back roads of America like a modern-day Lone Ranger, is too popular with readers to just fade away. Reacher’s creator Lee Child, whose real name is Lee Grant, has said his days as a novelist are over.

The film is roughly based on the Reacher novel “One Shot,” which is set in a heartland city - and the movie was shot in Pittsburgh.The cover of “The Sentinel” (Delacorte Press, $28.99), the 25th thriller in the wildly popular Jack Reacher series, says it was written by Lee Child and Andrew Child, though no one by either name actually wrote the book. Better luck next time for the “franchise.’” Even the best of actors (which Cruise is not) would not be able to overcome these handicaps. Jere Seibert: “It appears that I am not the only one who believes that Cruise is too short (6-8"), too small (70+ lbs), and too old (10-12 years). Such a shame, since I would have LOVED to see a REAL Jack Reacher on the screen.” Most ridiculous casting ever - and I will not be able to go to the movie. Even reading and listening to the books are spoiled now, since as I’m reading/listening, I keep trying to imagine Tom Cruise as the hero Reacher. Recommended if you like your violence seasoned with a bit of thought-provoking sci-fi. Sally Ross: “When I heard about the choice of Tom Cruise to play Jack Reacher, I was stupefied. Agreed, Altered Carbon was very like Jack Reacher landing in the world of Peter Hamiltons Pandoras Star, or perhaps Scalzis Lock In. Get a real man to play that role and I will be the first in line to see that movie.” I will not pay money to see this movie, either. I am so upset that they chose Tom to play this role. Laura Seager: “I totally agree with every other fan that is saying Tom Cruise IS NOT Jack Reacher. While filled with familiar excerpts from Jack Reacher novels, it is simply a listing of various guides that lead Reacher to act the way he does.
Paul Lovegrove: “like thousands of Reacher fans, I won’t be wasting my money on this. Jack Reacher’s Rules was a little disappointing. Lori Erickson: “‘Tom Cruise? He’d be a perfect Jack Reacher!’ said no one ever.” I will not see it and it literally RUINED the whole character for me. I can not believe they actually used an arrogant overexposed short IMBECILE to create such an awesome character. So when I saw the trailer I was SOOOO disappointed. stand outside the cashier’s box and not pay to go in.” They’ve done it to us for years by putting the popular, oh so wrong, individual in a role thinking it will draw in more crowds. Jackie Hulbert: “My vote is a BIG BIG NO NO NO NO NO NO NO to seeing it - hitting Hollywood big whigs where it hurts.
