No offense.
Lisa, tell us what you really think. This time, don't hold back.
Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,
no limitations.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.

In fact, there used to be a legendary thread on who would win between the two (Rain vs. Reacher) that even got the author's to wade in.....Read all those. Who would win between Jack Reacher and John Rain? John Rain is sneakier, so if it was something planned out beforehand, I would say Rain. If it was something that happened in the immediate world, the here and now, then I would say Jack Reacher.
I'm always right.
But Joe Pike would kick both their asses.

You have a point there.
But if Pike wasn't available, Windsor Horne Lockwood III could do it. Win scares everybody.
