I found the narrative in these books really generic. More importantly, Xander King is billed as "Jack Reacher meets James Bond" and, while that does actually seem true, it's not a good combo. Xander is as blunt as Reacher, but everyone treats him like he's as suave and charismatic as James Bond. Bad jokes have rooms full of people cracking up, women instantly fall for cheesy flirtations, etc. Overall, I just couldn't get into it.
