The change in authors is subtle but detectable. It is Andrew who wrote most of “The Sentinel,” but because the names “Child” and “Reacher” are forever bound together, he adopted the penname Andrew Child to carry the series into the future. Lately, he’s been working with Amazon to develop a Jack Reacher TV show starring Alan Ritchson, an actor as enormous and menacing as the character in the books - a welcome change from the pipsqueak (Tom Cruise) who played the role in two Hollywood movies.īut Reacher, the mythic avenger who wanders the back roads of America like a modern day Lone Ranger, is too popular to fade away, so Grant (aka Child), has turned the series over to his younger brother Andrew Grant, the author of nine thrillers published under his real name. Reacher’s creator Lee Child, whose real name is actually Lee Grant, has declared that his days as a novelist are over.
