I have just recently discovered this series and unfortunately started in the middle. I read Worth Dying For before 61 Hours and never grasped the magnitude of the explosion Reacher was recovering from. Did I miss an explanation of how he survived the jet fuel explosion? I thought the two dead guys by the overturned truck would have to be explained. Also how could he have walked away in that cold???

Child makes the events almost possible but you need a good pinch of suspended disbelief. I've read them all and enjoy them like a more literary 'The Phantom' comic. (less)

could i read this book if i've read only the first one of the entire series?

Aprennace Sure, They can be read in any order. Just watch for conversations about coffee and the inevitable appearance of the Crown Vic in every one of them.

Kind of like the appearance of Superman in every episode of Seinfeld.(less)

Still 2 chapters to go but what the heck with Lee Child saying Thailand has a winter, the Thais are used to cold and have warm clothes to wear ? Thailand is in a tropical climate mate, no winter, spring, fall or summer. Well maybe you can argue its summer all year long but back to the point, there's no winter there. It really spoils the story eventhough it is well written with unexpected plot twist here and there.
