Pure Jason Bourne style action

Content warning Spoilers, mild

It's Jack Reacher. There's a dozen or more books in the series. Reacher is going to survive until those books. In Die Trying, Reacher accidentally stumbles across a plot by a Montana militia to kidnap the president's god daughter and hold her hostage so that the militia can declare a remote Montana county independent. They think the president will let them because of his god daughter. But Jack Reacher doesn't miss at 1200 yards. Ludicrous, sure. But I don't read Jack Reacher for a plot that makes a lick of sense.
