Meet Joe Logan, Jack Reacher's twin brother !

[addsvrs]

So i like Reacher, have all the books in hardback and on kindle. In my quest for nonsense action thrillers whilst waiting a year for a new Reacher (and the last 2 have been poor) i have read lots. In no particular order

Joe Venn (not bad), Nathan Mcbride (not bad), Spider Shepherd (Excellent), Mark Heckenburg (Excellent), John Puller (cant remember lol), Mitch Rapp (Excellent), plus many more

Most have been recommendations from this forum, the last series ive just finished was Matt Barnes by Michael Kerr, excellent series even though all the baddies were very similar, so i thought i would see what else this bloke has wrote. So that brings us to Joe Logan. I dont know who copied who but this bloke and Reacher are so identical it made me laugh

Whilst reading last night i thought all that is left for him is too shag the damsel in distress, low and behold next page he has banged her. Its not bad so will continue with the series, and to be fair Lee Child might have copied him

Any other characters that so similar from different authors ?

Going by the publication dates, the first Joe Logan book came out in 2012. The first Reacher novel, Killing Floor, came out in 1997.

If you're looking for fun, fast-paced action-adventure I have to recommend Andy McDermott's stuff. Every one of the books he's come out with, I've enjoyed, but I haven't read the most recent ones (yet).
