I enjoy the Reacher series, but for someone who is as successful as Mr Child one would think he could afford someone to fact check his books for glaring errors.
A couple examples that undercut the stories:
1. He discusses a trip Reacher made (in book #3) to "The Army flight school at Ft Wolters, TX". (It may have been still "Camp" Wolters, but I need a fact checker for that.) Wolters was closed and all functions transferred to Ft Rucker before I went to the Army flight school in 1960, so it had to have been closed in the 1950's.
2. He discusses at some length the Marines at Ft Dix. (Book #4) Ft Dix is an all-Army Post. (Except, of course for the inevitable jarheads in liason-type positions.)Get more detail about Running Blind (Jack Reacher, No. 4).
