Mobile Rendering of Summary[edit]

The tabular display of the novels and their summary is OK on desktop (although screen real estate usage is pretty low). On any sort of mobile format display, the table renders as a very long, thin line of text on the far right. Could the last column instead become reflowed text below the heading? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vandys (talk • contribs) 18:59, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Article Merger[edit]

This article should be merged with pre-existing article Jack Reacher. Doing so will make the articles more accessible and less redundant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Intrepid11 (talk • contribs) 05:19, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In-story chronology[edit]

Make Me immediately precedes The Midnight Line, thus "Maybe they Have a Tradition", "Faking a Murderer", and "Too Much Time" must take place at other times. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.238.224.36 (talk) 21:33, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Similarly, A Wanted Man picks up exactly where Worth Dying For ends so they can't possibly have a story between them much less two. I just finished WDF, read Everyone Talks, started AWM. I'm reading through the series in published order rather than chronologically, I have no idea where ET fits but it's not between those two and can't imagine how Knowing You're Alive could take place in that timeframe.

MINOR SPOILER: He's dropped off (or just asked to be dropped off? Been a few days) by someone at the end of one book and mentions being dropped off at the beginning of the next.

Other authors' works[edit]

There's also the Jack Reacher Experiment series by Jude Hardin. There are nine books so far, beginning with Dead Ringer (2016); the books are set in in the late 21st century, and the main character is Rock Wahlman, a clone of Reacher. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.235.184.247 (talk) 20:02, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Create a new (sub)heading for The Hunt for Reacher series[edit]

Because The Hunt for Reacher series by Diane Capri is a spinoff of the main series that is set in the same universe and endorsed by Lee Child, I think it should be given a subheading under the "In Other Authors' work" section, in addition to expanding the section (Seeing that neither Capri nor The Hunt for Reacher have their own WP page).

Jack[edit]

fictional protagonist of a series of novels, novellas and short stories by British author Jim Grant under the pen name Lee Child.[1] A former major in the United States Army Military Police Corps, Reacher roams the United States taking odd jobs and investigating suspicious and frequently dangerous situations. The Reacher novels are written either in the first-person or third-person. The schedule for the Reacher series is one-per-year, except for 2010 when two were published. Most of the novels are set in the United States, in locales ranging from major metropolitan areas like New York City and Los Angeles to small towns in the Midwestern United States and the Southern United States. To date, Reacher's travels outside the United States have taken him to rural England (The Hard Way, Maybe They Have a Tradition), London (Personal), Hamburg (Night 2405:201:C025:304B:86D:2175:5A50:CACD (talk) 08:51, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cars[edit]

Jack, I’m Eric Matus, grew up mostly in Southfield in metro Detroit area. In Detroit the families are either Ford or Chevy, etc. If you don’t drive the family brand, you park in the street, not the driveway! in “Persuader” you say “most cops you talk to swear the Caprice is the best police vehicle ever built.” I did 5 yrs USCG & 15 USN (1972-76 & 1981-96), did Shore Patrol on duty days, and worked with police while on patrol. I never had a police person say the Chevy was better than the Ford police cars, just the opposite. Just saying… 2600:1012:B146:1142:B929:C218:2A94:A520 (talk) 18:18, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
