Let's make this birthday one to remember.

70 years old (Born on October 29, 1954)

Happy Birthday, Lee Child! May your special day be filled with fewer plot twists than a Jack Reacher novel and more cake slices than villains defeated. Your thrilling tales have kept readers on the edge of their seats since "Killing Floor," earning you an Anthony Award and countless sleepless nights for fans worldwide.

Here's hoping this year brings even greater adventures—perhaps less wandering highways alone, though we know that's how Reacher rolls best. Keep those suspenseful pages turning; after all, age is just another mystery waiting to unfold in your capable hands. Cheers to many more chapters ahead!
