Where it all started. Ex-MP Jack Reacher walks into a small Georgia town and gets arrested for murder. If you somehow haven't read it, fix that before anything else on this list.
Killing Floor (Jack Reacher #1) by Lee Child
Ex-Marine Raider and single dad, and God help anybody who comes after his daughter. Short, fast, no-nonsense books from a guy who wrote Batman and Punisher comics. Start with Levon's Trade.
The Levon Cade Series by Chuck Dixon
A Navy SEAL loses his whole team in an ambush, then comes home and finds out it was a setup. Written by a real former SEAL, and it reads like a revenge movie with the safety off.
The Terminal List by Jack Carr
Court Gentry, the world's best assassin, has a kill-on-sight order on his head and every hit team in Europe after him. Nonstop action from page one. Long series to binge.
The Gray Man by Mark Greaney

American Assassin (Mitch Rapp #1) by Vince Flynn

Orphan X by Gregg Hurwitz
A Vietnam sniper living alone in the Arkansas mountains gets framed for an assassination. The book behind the movie Shooter, and better. If you care about gun details being right, Hunter delivers.
Point of Impact (Bob Lee Swagger #1) by Hunter
A man pulled out of the Mediterranean with bullets in him and no memory, just a bank account number in his hip. Way more twisted than the movie. The original amnesiac spy.
The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum
A Soviet sub captain tries to defect with a silent nuclear submarine, and Jack Ryan has to figure out if it's real. The book that kicked off the whole techno-thriller genre.
The Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy
Before the cartoon sequels, Rambo was a damaged Vietnam vet pushed too far by a small-town sheriff. Dark, tense, and nothing like the action-figure version. A vet story first.
First Blood by David Morrell

Rules of Prey (Lucas Davenport #1) by Sandford
Joe Pike, the silent ex-Marine sidekick from the Elvis Cole books, gets his own story protecting a spoiled heiress from killers. Pike barely talks and that's the point.
The Watchman (Joe Pike) by Robert Crais
A pro football player takes a brutal hit and comes out of it unable to forget anything. Years later, as a broken-down detective, he hunts the man who murdered his family. Great hook.
Memory Man (Amos Decker #1) by David Baldacci
A Baltimore cop gets recruited by a secret agency after he kills a terrorist who won't stay dead. Military thriller meets zombie outbreak. For when you want your shootouts with a side of weird.
Patient Zero (Joe Ledger #1) by Jonathan Maberry
