2. The Lee Child series

regaling us with the adventures of ex-Major Jack Reacher.

There is quite a long time between books, because he won't slip into the trap of "just cranking them out," and each new one is as thoroughly a good as the one before it.

I will not, however, go to the movie in which Tom Cruise is horribly and ludicrously miscast as Jack Reacher. Size is only a minor issue. He is totally unfit to play the character.
