I think Nate Romanowski (Joe Pickett series by C.J. Box) would be a great match for either of them. I love them all!!!

Let’s not forget about Johnny English.

In a straight up brawl Reacher would win. That said, Pike would never let it get that far…he’d shoot Reacher from an invisible vantage point, pick up his shell casing and vanish.

Win would kick both their butts and so would John Rain. Reason; their both assassins.

The Reacher books are next up on my list after I catch up on more Joe Pike and Elvis Cole, so I can’t vote on that, but I find it hard to imagine anyone getting the better of Joe. Lee Child has a delightful sense of humour ~ I love his research philosophies!!

It was said with good humor, Dale. Perhaps it’s hard to gauge since this is just a short clip but the whole interview was lighthearted and entertaining.

Was Lee making a joke? I want to think he was, but the first part of his answer put me off. It seemed childish.

Has RC said that Reacher could beat Pike? Really?

I think you and EIREGO are twins.

Haha! I see we have a lot of Pike fans here! I agree with Child that the two wouldn't fight each other but if I HAD to put my money on someone, I'd pick Pike. Reacher is big and powerful but Pike is often described as moving like a ghost and as soundlessly as a whisper. He'd be able to take down Reacher before Reacher even realizes Pike is there. EIREGO---Love your suggestion of Reacher coming to L.A. and running into Pike (and maybe Harry Bosch?). Your recommended research material is top notch. le0pard13---I think Child was joking because I don't think Crais would concede Pike's defeat. And that's such a great excerpt from Stand by Me. Of course Superman is real!

“But if I must choose a movie….I would go with Tequila Sunrise or To Live And Die In L.A.”

Excellent choices, EIREGO!
