Funny - I just looked myself and realized there are 3 more books I need to read.

I tell folks if that they read the 1st 18 pages of ‘Point of Impact’ where Bob is “earning Tim” - they will know whether or not they’ll like my favorite protagonist: Bob the nailer...

You can read the first chapter here:

We had a long discussion on here about a year ago over who should play "Bob the Nailer" Swagger in the movies. In at least two books, Hunter describes him as looking like Clint Eastwood (and Clint has those 'slits for eyes' down to a science).

Problem is by the time Hollywood gets through with him, it'll be Tom Cruise, just as they're about to do with Lee Child's 6'5", brawling, Jack Reacher character.
