There’s something missing from your list: a woman. Try Jo Ann Geary, the White Vixen. http://Www.davidtindellauthor.com

Fantastic list and a great resource for new series in the genre.

May I suggest for others that they take a look at the Jet series by Russell Blake. She is a real badass and a Blake is prolific, putting out a new book every 6-8 months.

Happy New Year everyone!

No need to give you my opinions, you are well aware of who is good and who is so so. Your list is amazing and very informative.

I read a book a couple of years ago, and cannot remember the author or main character. But the book was solid.

The lead character is older, and I think he has a bad knee. A victim is killed by a hit and run car, and I recall that the climax takes place in a rural setting, or maybe I should say a wilderness setting, a lodge on the boonies.

Can anyone identify this character and the author?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the list. I’ve been looking for another series to jump into and now I know just who to look for.

I also thought I would throw in that I went looking on Amazon for Overwatch by Matthew Betley and if you have a Prime account, you can download it for free right now. I’m unsure how long that will last, but I jumped on it now just in case.

How about the Michael Munroe series? That is one seriously messed up, bad-assed, character. Taylor Stevens is the author.
I’m a fan of most of your choices, but Jack Reacher pissed me off in the last book I read, and I quit the series. Lee Child must have a problem with authority, as the bad guys are often the good guys in other author’s books.
In your Honorable Mentions you had Kirk McGarvey (David Hagberg). There’s another author that seems to have a problem. I couldn’t believe the direction those books ended up going.

Ty Patterson’s Warrior Series deserves
A serious mention
Zeb Carter is better than Reacher.
Also Ty is far more prolific than Lee Child. You don’t have to wait 12-14
Months for his next book.
