Red Sky Mourning

A Thriller

De: Jack Carr

Narrado por: Ray Porter

With the walls closing in, Navy SEAL sniper James Reece is on a race to dismantle a conspiracy that has forced America to her knees in the latest high-octane thriller that seems ripped from the headlines from the “hottest author on the thriller scene today” (The Real Book Spy), #1 New York Times bestseller Jack Carr.

You think you know James Reece. Think again.

A storm is on the horizon. America’s days are numbered. A Chinese submarine has gone rogue and is navigating towards the continental United States, putting its nuclear missiles within striking distance of the West Coast.

A rising Silicon Valley tech mogul with unknown allegiances is at the forefront of a revolution in quantum computing and Artificial Intelligence.

A politician controlled by a foreign power is a breath away from the Oval Office.

Three seemingly disconnected events are on a collision course to ignite a power grab unlike anything the world has ever seen.

The country’s only hope is a quantum computer that has gone dark, retreating to the deepest levels of the internet, learning at a rate inconceivable at her inception. But during her time in hiding, she has done more than learn. She has become a weapon. She is now positioned to act as either the country’s greatest savior or its worst enemy. She is known as “Alice” and her only connection to the outside world is to a former Navy SEAL sniper named James Reece who has left the violence of his past life behind.

Will there be blood?

Count on it!

Will the forces that threaten to destroy the United States be enough to light the fuse of Reece’s resurrection? From “master novelist” (Ballistic magazine) Jack Carr comes his most intense thriller to date, pressing “emotional buttons that other writers wouldn’t dare explore” (The Real Book Spy).

Loved it!

Reese is back and better than ever! Ray Porter is amazing bringing the characters to life.

Thrilled indeed

It is hard not to like or love a Jack Carr novel. I am grossly infatuated by James and all that he represents as a character in a spy novel. You might find some aspects of this novel a tiny bit tedious but, every good reader knows a conscience of character is required in all good killing machines. They lament, they sometimes second guess and they all sometimes understand they are dangerous to those they love or love them. You will see the ghosts of other characters and stories in this book and you will be pleasantly ingratiated by the authors notes at the end. I look forward to the next book in the series, highly recommend the series and I am glad I am not responsible for the sense of loss when you finish the latest installment as I am always sad to see the end of one myself. Excuse me while I go contemplate all of my feeling about this book.....

excellent

Jack Carr with Ray Porter does it again. Perhaps James Reece can rest now. We shall see. Thank you.

One Damn Great Book!

The best James Reece book, so far! I Loves it! The actions and imagery were so captivating!

Prepare…

I really enjoyed this installment! Jack is a world-class storyteller! Keep up the great work!

Narrator needs to STOP doing the different voices.

Narrator doing various voices (badly) ruins it. Completely unnecessary and very poorly done. Jack get a new narrator.

Excellent Details

This book was solid. I enjoyed it more than some of others and wonder what's next.

It's Getting Weird...

I've been on the James Reece train since day one! Buy and listen to ALL of them as released! It's been a great ride but seems to be running out of steam. First of all JR is starting to get a little too James Bond like getting out of too many impossible situations that stretch credibility....

This storyline is the most preposterous of all so far! I mean I liked it, it was a lot of fun but the series is deviating too far from reality for me.

Starting to get a little formulaic as well.... The ending may indicate a change of pace....a new chapter...new characters... who knows.

As always Ray Porter knocks it out of the park! He could read the phone book and I'd be enthralled!

Can't wait for the next installment!

Big fan of terminal list, but…

Great series, I preorder every book in audio and paperback formats. Have been a fan long before the show on Amazon.
Typically I am very focused when listening and can’t put the book down when reading but found myself drifting in this installment.
1) Product placement - be prepared for a TON of this. I am all for supporting vets and their companies but what used to be the occasional mention for a buddy’s company is now to the point of what seems like paid advertising. Disappointed.
2) A lot of unnecessary length stretching fluff- length is important, especially if I am trying to decide how to use my credits. However this book reminds me of my father in law and the excessive ‘mansplaining’, it’s boresome. Kind of like someone giving you directions when you already have the route displayed on your phone.
3) Female character narration - Ray Porter is very good at male voices w great inflection but really needs to work on the cringe female voice. RC Bray, Scott Brick and several others do it seamlessly, whereas Porter sounds Eric Cartman when he dresses up as a girl. Just sayin

The best of them all.

I really enjoyed this book. I’ve read all of the books in the series. I wish I could say this book was far-fetched but it’s not. If anything it’s a little too realistic. The Chinese are doing the bad things that he outlines in the book. Our military and government is engaged in various high-tech endeavors that will inevitably lead to no good. We must hope that a few heroes actually exist in real life because we’re going to need them. Congratulations on an amazing effort writing this book. The narration is excellent as well. Highly recommended.
