I went to check what the next Jack Reacher book in the series was and I realized that I've read every Jack Reacher book in the past year. They're easy reads, but entertaining even if they are "airport books." I also read "The Last to Vanish" by Megan Miranda and "Everyone Is Watching" by Heather Gudenkauf to break up the military-related invincible protagonist genre lol.
Does anyone have any suggestions for similar books? Maybe something tech related since I'm interested in that as well.

The Orphan X series by Gregg Hurwitz. Follows a highly trained assassin who becomes a vigilante helping those in need.
Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. Sci-fi thriller about the consequences of a scientist’s experiments with alternate realities.
Look at either the “David Slaton” or “Jammer Davis” series by Ward Larsen. Not a lot of tech but it’s believable action and storylines and great protagonists.
You might want to check out books by Clive Cussler and his collaborators. There’s maybe 60 of them, published between the 1970s and today. The last 15 years or longer Cussler diversified into spin off series of various kinds, like an early 1900s private detective; a Mission Impossible style team with a supership HQ that’s disguised as a tramp steamer; a rich husband-wife team of treasure hunters; and more. But his original hero Dirk Pitt and Pitt’s best friend are the nearest stories to the lone wolf Reacher guy (I was a Reacher fan too, up until I read the first book written by Lee Child’s brother, after which I lost interest in the series).
Seems like there might be a couple dozen Reacher books or more. If you read all of them in just a year, you must have more spare time than me.
Red Sparrow is a good one
