Reacher
Warning : despoiler for Amazon ’s Reacher season 3 below !
Summary
With some detective work , I believe I can predict which book Amazon’sReacherseason 4 will cover . I had such a good time with the first season of Amazon ’s adaptation that I attempt out some of Lee Child ’s books . construe asReacherseason 1 adapted the first novelKilling Floor , that ’s where I begin too . Child ’s oeuvre is a pulpy fusion of traditional detective novels with ' 80s action movies , with Jack Reacher himself feeling like a fusion of Jessica Fletcher ’s deductive encephalon and Dolph Lundgren ’s dead body .
Just like the Amazon serial , I ’m jump around when it comes to the order ofChild’sJack Reachernovels . For instance , I followedKilling FloorwithPast Tense , the 23rd book in the serial publication . The benefit to Child ’s work is they can be take in basically any order of magnitude , though there are easter nut for longtime readers . The upcomingReacherseason 3will adapt novel seven , Persuader , where the deed of conveyance avenger goes undercover for the DEA . A big chunk of the story is a computed axial tomography - and - black eye biz , where Reacher has to recollect on his feet to keep his shaky covering entire .
Reacher Season 3 Covering Persuader Makes Me Think Personal Will Be Adapted Next
Jack Reacher’s 19th novel would be the logical follow-up to Persuader
Kohl ’s death and the wallop it provide on the statute title character give me thinkReacherseason 4 will adaptPersonalnext , which is the 19th book .
Reacher is n’t undertakingPersuader’smission out of the goodness of his heart . Instead , he ’s seeking retaliation on a man he thought he ’d killed a decade before refer Quinn , who mutilated and bump off an Army colleague of Reacher ’s named Kohl . Her expiry has haunted Jack since , and he believes this mathematical operation will lead him right to Quinn . Of theReacherbooks I ’ve read so far , Persuaderis my favorite , as Child take a simple story and milks every cliff of tension from it .
Kohl ’s death and the shock it leave on the title graphic symbol make me thinkReacherseason 4 will adaptPersonalnext , which is the nineteenth book . This sees the Army calling out to Reacher for help bringing down a sniper place the President of France . Personalisn’t needfully the highest - betray novel , but it ’s well - regarded among the fanbase and I found it an addictive read . Personalreveals Kohl ’s death still hang around with Reacher , especially as his new partner Casey Nice remind him of her .
Amazon ’s show is a little more coordinated than Child ’s Bible , as seen byFinlay ’s unexpected cameo duringReacherseason 2.Personalisn’t a direct continuation toPersuader , but I felt that evoking the memory of Kohl give the 19th novel more weightand resonance . That ’s whyPersonalwould be a substantial choice for season 4 , as it can continue some of the report explore inReacher’sthird season while pore on a new fib .
Despite not appearing in thePersuaderbook , Reacher ’s pal Neagley ( Maria Sten ) will return for season 3 .
Personal Would Give Amazon’s Show The Chance To Do Its Take On Tom Cruise’s Jack Reacher
Fans shouldn’t expect a One Shot re-adaptation anytime soon

The disceptation over Tom Cruise ’s casting asJack Reacherin the 2012 movie still rages in sealed sections of the fanbase . Still , time has been kind to the Christopher McQuarrie film , which feel like a New take on the 1970s thrillers the likes of Clint Eastwood or Charles Bronson used to front . The flick used Child ’s 9th novelOne Shotas its source , andI was enchant by theReacherseason 2 easter egg that connote the consequence ofOne Shothappened offscreenbetween series .
The molding of Tom Cruise in 2012 ’s Jack Reacher was controversial as barely resembled the Word of God part ; here ’s why this pick was made .
Personalis alike toOne Shotin several means , with both involving Reacher investigating a case involving a military sniper he has a history with . I very much doubtReacherwould ever re - adaptOne Shotsince that ’s a no - win position . It would reignite the Cruise controversy again while compare his Jack Reacher to Ritchson ’s take . However , adaptingPersonalwould let the showrunners do their interpretation ofOne Shot . They could even combine elements from the two stories , possibly makingOne Shot’sJames Barr intoPersonal’svillain .
Personal Would Shake Up Reacher’s Formula In Two Big Ways
Reacher could use a holiday
Most of theReacherbooks keep the quality on American grunge , butPersonalis an external outing , where Reacher flies to both Paris and Londonduring his hunt . I feel the London chapters the highlighting since they put Reacher completely out of his comfort zone . It freshened up Child ’s formula , and it would be overbold forReacherseason 4 to keep audiences on their toes . Another nice touch is that Reacher ’s human relationship with Casey is purely platonic .
Most of the Jack Reacher novels boast some kind of love interest for the primary character -Persuaderincluded - but it ’s prissy thatPersonaldidn’t pauperism to force one .
It ’s more of a wise man / mentee human relationship , with the two constitute an curiously touching friendship . I doubt Reacher would have even thought of Casey in amatory terminal figure either , due to her resemblance to Kohl . Most of theJack Reachernovels feature some kind of love interest for the principal character -Persuaderincluded - but it ’s nice thatPersonaldidn’t need to thrust one . I would n’t put money onReacherseason 4 adaptingPersonal- but I would n’t rede anyone against that wager either .
