Prime Video's Reacher season 4 has yet to be revealed, production is expected to begin soon with a potential release date of late 2025.

While Child has already endorsed Amazon taking the reins of the series, this may just happen down the line. In the meantime, these eight Jack Reacher books would all make standout television seasons.

8 Tripwire

1999

"Tripwire" is the third Jack Reacher novel and is widely considered one of the best of the series. Published in 1998, "Tripwire" follows Reacher in Key West, Florida as he encounters a private investigator from New York named Costello, who was hired by the daughter of Reacher's former commanding officer and mentor, General Garber. Garber is looking into a missing Vietnam War veteran, which leads him on a collision course with Victor Truman "Hook" Hobie.

"Tripwire" would make for a compelling season of Amazon Prime Video's Reacher because of its multiple settings in Florida and New York as well as its antagonist, "Hook" Hobie, who is one of the best in the series. Since the Reacher series has historically chosen some of the earlier books to adapt, "Tripwire" would make sense as a viable option. Like some of the best Reacher books, the story is loaded with tension, suspense, and twists that keep viewers engaged until the last page.

7 Running Blind

2000

As the fourth Jack Reacher book, "Running Blind" feels like it was made for a TV adaptation. Set up as a traditional murder detective case, Reacher searches for a serial killer responsible for a series of deaths of several women who all mysteriously knew Reacher from the military. The murderer is a professional, leaving no evidence that police can use to identify, which sends Reacher on a mad hunt trying to figure out who was behind the killings and why.

"Running Blind" also takes place in New York City and would introduce Reacher's girlfriend, Jodie Garber-Jacob, into the Amazon series. Also titled "The Visitor" in certain regions, "Running Blind" is a classic tale of searching for a mysterious murderer that would make for one of the most gripping seasons of the TV adaptations.

6 Echo Burning

2001

"Echo Burning" is the fifth book of the Jack Reacher series, bringing Reacher to Texas and offering a true Westen feel to the ex-military cowboy. Like "Persuader", the book starts off with a gripping opening scene that leads to Reacher evading the police, which is how he meets the young, rich, and beautiful Carmen. Carmen needs Reacher to "deal with" her tax-evading husband, who is about to be released from prison.

With most of "Echo Burning" taking place on a Texas ranch, it would feel like a combination of Reacher and a Taylor Sheridan Western series Yellowstone, which for some viewers would be a dream come true. Similar to "Killing Floor", Reacher can't rely on corrupt local law enforcement for help, as the husband named Sloop poses a threat to Carmen's life.

5 Without Fail

2002

"Without Fail" is the sixth Jack Reacher novel and may have one of the best premises out of the entire book series. Reacher must devise a way to assassinate the Vice President of the United States, for preventative security purposes, of course. Reacher gets entrenched in American politics as The Secret Service employs him to help track down would-be assassins who are tracking aim at the V.P.

"Without Fail" seems like one of the most logical choices for Reacher season 4 or beyond considering that s Neagley is already a main character in the book.

"Without Fail" seems like one of the most logical choices for Reacher season 4 or beyond considering that s Neagley is already a main character in the book. This, combined with its Atlantic City and Washington D.C. settings and naturally intriguing premise, make "Without Fail" a great option for TV adaptation. It would feel like a lean into other popular one-man-army political thrillers such as The Night Agent and the recently canceled The Recruit.

4 The Enemy

2004

"The Enemy" is the eighth book in the Jack Reacher book series and the follow-up to "Persuader", although it's not considered to be a sequel, but a prequel. "The Enemy" offers a sort of Jack Reacher origin story while he was still active in the military in 1990.

After a Major General dies of a heart attack in a sketchy North Carolina motel, Reacher is ordered to deliver the news to his wife along with a female officer named Lt. Summer. When they arrive, they notice a break-in and a mystery unfolds. "The Enemy" would introduce Reacher's mentor, Col. Leon Garber, to the Amazon series, which it has yet to do but will inevitably have to.

3 One Shot

2005

"One Shot" provided the inspiration for Tom Cruise's original Jack Reacher movie released in 2012. Not to step on Cruise's toes, but many fans agree that Ritchson is the better of the two Reacher iterations and as such, should get a chance to do "One Shot" right as part of the Amazon series. "One Shot" is the ninth book of the Jack Reacher series and follows a mysterious sniper who kills five apparently random people in a public plaza in Indiana.

To truly be the best version of Reacher, Ritchson has got to nail a "One Shot" adaptation.

Authorities identify James Barr, a former military snipe, as the killer, who says they've got the wrong guy. Instead of calling an attorney, he calls for Reacher, who sees the news on TV and makes his way to Indiana. Those who've seen the Cruise movie already know what happens next, but to truly be the best version of Reacher, Ritchson has got to nail a "One Shot" adaptation.

2 Gone Tomorrow

2009

"Gone Tomorrow", the thirteenth book in the series, brings Reacher back to New York City where he identifies suicide bombers on a late-night subway. With one of the most compelling premises of the series, "Gone Tomorrow" involves Reacher unfolding a political conspiracy leading back to D.C. He enlists the help of the NYPD, who initially tries to bury the case of a suicide on the subway, to get to the bottom of it.

"Gone Tomorrow" has one of the best opening scenes in the Reacher series, which I would love to see on screen. Although it would take place in New York once again following season 2, the story holds up well enough to justify the repeated setting.

1 61 Hours

2010

The fourteenth book of the series, "61 Hours" takes Reacher to South Dakota where a bus he's hitching a ride on crashes in Bolton, South Dakota. The town of Bolton is home to a large prison and an abandoned U.S. military facility where a notorious gang of drug dealers seemingly operates. One Bolton woman tries to stand up to the powerful forces in her town, placing a target on her head that Reacher can only stop. Since "61 Hours" has one of the best endings of any Reacher book, it would be enjoyable and satisfying on the screen.
