    I'm currently reading Lee Child's collection of Jack Reacher short stories entitled "No Middle Man." It gives great insight into Jack Reacher's childhood such as growing up on various military bases around the world. It actually enables the reader to understand how Jack Reacher the action adventure hero became who he is in the rest of Lee Child's books.

    No, I have read any books by Deon Meyer. Tell you what, I'll get one within the next 30 days and revert with a book review.

    I done a considerable amount of reading from June 2017 to date. I literally read all the novels of Wilbur Smith, Frederick Forsyth, Tom Clancy, Lee Child(with the exception of the book I am now reading), and Ian Flemming.
    All Ian Flemming novels are now available as open source online in PDF format
    This is the link:

    I’ve attached a PDF of Dr NO from this link, so that you can see that it works.

    Off the cuff, my top twelve from these authors are:

    1. Lee Child: Personal
    2. Lee Child: Worth Dying For
    3. Lee Child: Never go back
    4. Frederick Forsyth: The Day of the Jackal
    5. Frederick Forsyth: The Kill List
    6. Federick Forsyth: The Afgan
    7. Tom Clancy: Without Remorse
    8. Wilbur Smith: Those in peril
    9. Wilbur Smith: Vicious Smith
    10. Wilbur Smith: Predator
    11. Robert Ludlum: The Bancroft Strategy
    12. Robert Ludlum: The Scorpio Illusion

    We seem to like the same thrillers. I used to read Ian Flemming's James Bond at school and saw all the movies. Ludlum, Smith and jack Reacher. I had to laugh when I saw the little man Tom Cruise cast as Jack Reacher in the movie!

    You may then enjoy The Tattooist of Auswich by Heather Morris and the follow up, Cilka's Journey. Based on a true story.
