Lee Child is one of my favs. I've read all the Reacher books several times.

If you like Jack Reacher, you really need to give Greg Rucka's Atticus Kodiak a try.

Rucka is my fav novelist. The AK series is amazing.

My fav Reacher book is probably the first, The Killing Floor.

If you're a fan of the genre, I cannot suggest more highly the Atticus Kodiak series by Greg Rucka.  In order, Keeper, Finder, Smoker, Shooting at Midnight, Critical Space, Patriot Acts, Walking Dead.  I don't think I missed any there.

Rucka's protagonist, Atticus Kodiak is a personal protection specialist.  I've read them all at least 8 times. A few of them much more than that.  I'd try to read them in order if you can, but only Shooting at Midnight and the more recent ones are available on the Kindle.  If you must read just one, pick up Critical Space.

Absolutely!

Critical Space -> Patriot Acts -> Walking Dead

Those are the Kodiak books available on Kindle.

Should you like those and want the earlier books, they're available on Amazon as paperbacks.

Would love to know what you think. =)

Well I read one of the Rucka novels, "Critical Space" and, well, I just could not relate to the principal character. I don't know why, just couldn't.

I was afraid this would be an issue. I think the book stands up well on it's own, but the main character really grows and changes as the series goes on. It's a real shame the early books aren't available on Kindle.
