Surely you don't mean it! If he's not very original, I'd sure like to read the people he copied! (Of course there will be similarities, just like with other authors, but that's okay for me because it still feels quite fresh the way he does it. Brad Thor, for example, seems to be almost a simple rip-off of the Mitch Rapp series by Vince Flynn. But I like that - I'm all for more Vince Flynn type books!!!!)

Btw, the first Reich book, Numbered Account (1998), was especially exciting for me. And I didn't care much for the Patriot Club. But... tastes vary, so just because I liked it so much doesn't mean anyone else will.
