3 months agoI only read the first one. Isn’t Reacher just a swole ex-Marine turned PI?
Yes, but you have to look at whose nose he’s breaking. The typical villains in a Reacher novel are evil corporations or greedy tyrants. In “Gone Tomorrow”, the villains are the post-Patriot Act feds who represent a country where civil rights are a myth.
But the people on the right who love Reacher for his mighty masculinity are the same people who were shocked that Rage Against The Machine “went political”. I wonder how long it will take them to realise that Reacher usually kicks the butts of people they would like to vote for.
