I've read some of Baldacci's books now and I do Think Lee Child's Jack Reacher series is better, at least up to the 8th or 9th. So I have no problem with him being upset about the John Puller series and feeling ripped off. Mr. Child has chosen to stay with his Publisher and enjoying the benefits of being associated with a publishing house, so why not use those resources instead and have the publisher's lawyers sue Mr. Baldacci? That would be a proper line of action and the publicity more than the Court appearance should be more devastating than appearing as a bad guy in his novel, the latter is, with lack for a better word, just childish.
Child's latest Jack Reacher novel is entiteld "Personal" and it is still only available at full price, so I haven't bought it yet. But the title now gives me the association that a renegade former Army cop by the name John Puller ends up getting killed by Jack Reacher. If that is the case I Think I'll pass.
