Then make him ex- military police because, broadly speaking, these would be crime novels, and he had to have some investigative experience, and he had to understand procedures and forensics and so on. So that part was all set in stone. Bryan Curtis writing for Grantland and Natasha Harding and Caroline Iggulden, in a separate article for The Sun, have brought out the various similarities between Child and Reacher: Child is 6 ft 4 in (1. I enjoyed being bigger and fighting shamelessly. I've done a fair amount of headbutting. It's an awesome manoeuvre. Harding and Iggulden conclude that Lee Child being . It might seem like a simplistic theory, but it. Like the author, Reacher was workplace surplus: He was a military policeman in an era of Army downsizing. The act of leaving his job turned Reacher into a protective figure, an avenging angel. He has quirks and problems, but the thing is, he doesn't know he's got them. Hence, no tedious self- pity. He's smart and strong, an introvert, but any anguish he suffers is caused by others. On the surface, he is an ex- military cop who is suddenly dumped out into the civilian world. And the reason why people think that's an essentially American paradigm is the Westerns. The Westerns were absolutely rock solid with that stuff. You know, the mysterious rider comes in off the range, sorts out the problem, and rides off into the sunset. It is just such a total paradigm, but not invented in America. That was imported from the medieval tales of Europe. The knight- errant: literally a knight, somehow banished and forced to wander the land doing good deeds. It's part of storytelling in every culture. Japan has it with the ronin myth; every culture has this Robin Hood idea. So really, that character was forced out of Europe as Europe became more densely populated and more civilized. That character no longer had stories in Europe; it had to migrate to where the frontier was still open and dangerous, which was America, essentially. So the character, I think, is actually universal and historic, most recently, normally represented in America. I think the Westerns saw it firmly adopted by America, so yeah, right now, we think of this as a completely American character, but really, it's more historic than that. But I'm very happy to have that reference made. If you're a woman, he will be your friend; but if necessary, he will kill you (the woman). After four years at West Point (1. Reacher achieved the ranks of 2nd Lieutenant, 1st Lieutenant, Captain, and Major. During his 1. 3 years of service, his achievements were recognised in the form of citations and awards including the Silver Star, the Defense Superior Service Medal, Legion of Merit, Soldier's Medal, Bronze Star, and a second Silver Star and Purple Heart for wounds sustained in the bombing of the U. S. Marine Corps barracks in Beirut in 1. However the short story Deep Down hints that he possibly was awarded the Legion of Merit as a result of exposing a female liaison officer who was leaking confidential information to the Soviet Union. His unit, the fictional 1. Special Investigations Unit. He left the armed forces in 1. Lieutenant Colonel during an investigation in Mississippi, who then singled him out for discharge. When his clothes get dirty he simply goes to the local hardware store and buys a functional pair of chinos and a workman's shirt and stuffs the old ones in the bin. No mortgage, no wife, no ties, he is a perfectly free agent, unlimited and unbound, incapable of ever settling down. The idea was to have a character that was plausibly rootless. Most people who are wanderers do it for other reasons. Reacher is completely competent, but he's just habituated to this fragmented life in the military, so he can't settle into civilian society. The idea of staying anywhere for more than a few days is anathema to him. He states that he has a genetic disposition towards roaming about. He cites the examples of the British Empire, the Vikings, and the Polynesians, arguing that they too had a wanderlust. While he accepts that there was an economical necessity behind their voyages, he maintains that . He feels that long ago when humans lived in small bands, there was a risk of inbreeding as a result of which a gene developed over the course of evolution such that . Reacher concludes by saying: I think ninety- nine of us grow up to love the campfire, and one grows up to hate it. Ninety- nine of us grow up to fear the howling wolf, and one grows up to envy it. Compelled to spread his DNA worldwide. Purely for the good of the species. For example, in Die Trying, Reacher is wrongly suspected by the FBI of being involved in a kidnapping, which assesses him as (solely on the basis of a few photos) as . Different clothes, different stance, different physically. He could be foreign, at least partly, or maybe second generation. Fair hair and blue eyes, but there's something in his face. Maybe he's European, perhaps a European mercenary or terrorist. In Make Me Reacher gets off at a remote train station (for no reason other than he liked the name of the town . Not an uncommon practice for him. As it says in the book . He immediately understood that the person she was waiting for must be very tall (like him) as it's his standout feature on first meeting someone. In Echo Burning, Reacher narrates how he first turned . He had been about four when he watched a television show on space adventures. One such episode depicted a space monster which had then terrified the young Reacher. After that Reacher was unable to sleep for days on end, thinking the monster was under his bed and would get him if he tried to sleep. And then according to Reacher his younger self got mad: . I got mad at the thing for making me afraid. Reacher then one night . In his words, Reacher . He also stated he had never been scared since. For instance in Personal, after killing a thug, he defends his actions to a distraught Casey Nice (his accomplice in the novel) stating that the man he killed had a choice in that he could spend his life performing good deeds such as 'helping old ladies across the street', 'raising funds for Africa' or 'volunteering in the library'. Instead the man had chosen to extort money and hurt people and when he 'finally he opened the wrong door, what came out at him (his death) was his problem, not mine'. You're like a predator. Furthermore, she notes that Reacher had till then attempted to solve only her problems, neglecting the problems of his own: And you. Which is just as serious. Therefore, you still care for others. I imagine caring for others is the first thing to go. And you still know right from wrong. What are you going to do with it?'I hadn't replied. Our silence was part of the ritual. Reacher explains this to detectives investigating an early morning suicide on a near- deserted New York subway near a visit to a Blues club on Bleecker Street (Gone Tomorrow, Chapter 7). Reacher espouses no personal religious beliefs but is generally accepting of the beliefs of others, though he is scathing in his dismissal of the town boss Thurman's fundamentalist Christian position in the novel Nothing to Lose: When asked if he is ? What kind of Christian are you? He also mentions at the opening of Bad Luck and Trouble (Chapter 4) that he avoids Alaska Airlines because . He started drinking it when he was six.

The lawn chair was regular size, but it looked tiny under him. It was bent and crushed out of shape. His knuckles were nearly touching the ground. His neck was thick and his hands were the size of dinner plates.. A wild man. Underneath everything else seemed strangely civilized.. His gaze was both wise and appealing, both friendly and bleak, both frank and utterly cynical. He resets the bone with a thump from his palm. He later puts on a plaster bandage made of duct tape while there's a doctor ally in the next room. Reacher's maternal grandfather, Laurent Moutier, was a furniture restorer in Paris, who, at thirty years of age, volunteered for the French Army in 1. World War I, fighting at Verdun and The Somme. Josephine Moutier was his only child. He died in 1. 97. Jack, as a boy, met him three times and is described as having liked him. Reacher's mother, Josephine Moutier Reacher, born in France, was 3.
