James Reece is an ex-Navy SEAL and has nothing left to live for. He also has everything to kill for after he learns that the American government is behind the death of his team.

Jack applies the emotions and experience from some real-world combat to the pages of each of these books. He brings some unprecedented levels of authenticity to the genre of political thriller, and takes his readers on a behind the scenes journey into a modern-day special operations solider’s mind.

Reece, who is now a reluctant tool of the United States government, travels around the globe, targeting the terrorist leaders and unraveling the geopolitical conspiracy that exposes one traitorous CIA officer and reveals an assassination plot with global repercussions.

    Love your books. Can’t wait to get the next in the series. I’m hoping a future book might go into the importance Alaska plays in the next(possible) world war. Alaska is my home. Your writing makes Reece and other characters real in their emotions.

    Jimmy Klein said this author is outstanding. After reading The Terminal List, I totally agree. I am looking forward to reading all the other Jack Carr novels with former Navy Seal James Reece as the main character. Such a fun read. Even the late Robert Ludlum would enjoy this author. Keep them coming!

    I read “The Terminal List” and hated the way he gave every item used a full background of information CONSTANTLY – Very irritating. No more of Mr. Carr for me.
