tell me about it I was gutted when I finished the last book, although if you change David Trevellyan's name to Jack Reacher it reads just like his big brother wrote it (I suspect he really did write it because the writing style is too ingrained and recognizable as lee child-esq id say if he didn't write it then his little brother has been copy and pasting lol) the only thing I'm not looking forward to is Tom Cruise playing Reacher in the film, god knows why someone as small as him got the role it took me a while to get into Flynn's American Assassin but by the end I was flying though the pages, if you liked that style of book have a look at the Bob Lee Swagger series by Stephen Hunter one of them (point of impact I think) was made in to the film Shooter with Marky Mark playing Swagger, but don't let that put you off the books as usual are far better than the films. As far as I can remember I think there's about 10 books if you include both the Bob Lee and Earl Swagger books -although I've not read the Earl Swagger books
EDIT - there is some question about the order the Stephen Hunter books should be read in be it the order of their release or where they would be placed in chronological order working their way through Bob Lee's life, personally I read them in the order the author planned but my next door neighbour read them as if working his way through Swaggers life, whichever if you have a look here http://www.stephenhunter.net/faq.html you can decide for yourself
2nd EDIT - I forgot to mention there are the Ben Hope series by Scott Mariani I think theres about 5 which I really enjoyed they're sort of the Jack Reacher series crossed with a bit of Dan Brown and a little Stieg Larsson. he has wrote some vampire ones but after reading the 4 book epic of sparkly vampires that is twilight I cant face them
