Hi! Im looking for a series like Jack reacher. Lone wolf, tough guy character, small town settings, helps people in need. Id prefer left-wing authors but ill settle for non-left wing. I know thats a big ask. Thank you!

Can’t speak to his politics but the Joe Kurtz series by Dan Simmons starting with the book Hardcase was a pretty great tough guy/lone wolf type series
Is that the same Dan Simmons that wrote The Terror and Hyperion or a different Dan Simmons?
The very same! He wrote in a ton of different genres, and I’ve enjoyed most all his work. Hopefully he’s not a total dirtbag
He was a Teaparty Republican: heavy on the Islamphobia; global warming denial; wrote a book called ‘Flashback’ in which progressive policies, universal healthcare, insufficient support of Israel, and Barack Obama all lead to the destruction of America; etc.
Ah, beans. Thanks for informing me. Flashback was an interesting one. I enjoyed it from the dystopian action sci-fi aspect of it. The politics were a bit heavy handed for sure. Whelp, guess he’s on his way to being dirt or hanging out on someone’s mantle by now, so it can’t get any worse
I really liked The Terror and Hyperion. Thats awesome he writes different genres. Ill definitely check this book out
