I think the OP after action hero stories rather than detectives, which from the Alex Cross films I get that impression.

Having just finished my first 'Court Gentry' series book, can't wait to get stuck into the rest.
Must read for any Jack Reacher fan.
Lee Child himself rates the books highly as well, I believe.

Bought all 3 and just a tad over half way though the first one,round the first 100 pages I thought were very good but the next 150 as far as I have got has slowed down a lot and almost a police detective story with a relationship thrown in which is not realty my first choice of reading although very readable. Just hope the action picks up by the end.

Now onto the fourth Court Gentry book.
Don't think there are any more at the moment, unfortunately.
Can't get enough of this character, blows all the other ones way (including Lee Child).
Astoundingly good.

Just finished the last two Ben Hope books by Scott Mariaini. The Martyrs Curse and The Forgotten Holocaust. Both very good reads, more of an epic story line than earlier books, and read them in  day each (recovering from an Op). Was hoping to pick up the new one after that but looks like its delayed until January now

Bloody hell I'd forgotten all about this thread!  Some good ones to add to my list by the look of things.

I've been reading loaf's of fantasy stuff of late and need some new stuff in my life

The first I read of the Ben Hope series was The Amanda Legacy then The Nemesis Program which the latter ramped up the action on the former. Do them 2 you read take it to the next level on The Nemesis Program?

I think so. The scale and scope of the action has increased. Its almost Bond-like in the ambitions of the bad guys. Much less dealing with petty crooks and small time gangsters in these two

You pick up a bit of Irish potato famine and English overlord history in the first as well. Though I'm not sure how biased it is.
