Anyone read any of the Jack Reacher novels by Lee Child? Reacher is an ex-MP who wanders around getting into tense situations. Good reading. Who's got what favorite?
I read "The Enemy" which focuses on Reacher while he was on active duty (as an Army MP), but I usually avoid books where the main character is an ex or former military-something-or-other. The background is usually just a prop used to explain why the guy is such a badazz, but those books rarely if ever actually have anything to do with the military.
