Publisher's summary

#1 NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR

“Take my word for it, James Reece is one rowdy motherf***er. Get ready!”—Chris Pratt, all around great guy and star of The Terminal List, coming to Amazon Prime

A Navy SEAL has nothing left to live for and everything to kill for after he discovers that the American government is behind the deaths of his team in this ripped-from-the-headlines political thriller that is “so powerful, so pulse-pounding, so well-written—rarely do you read a debut novel this damn good” (Brad Thor, #1 New York Times bestselling author).

On his last combat deployment, Lieutenant Commander James Reece’s entire team was killed in a catastrophic ambush. But when those dearest to him are murdered on the day of his homecoming, Reece discovers that this was not an act of war by a foreign enemy but a conspiracy that runs to the highest levels of government.

Now, with no family and free from the military’s command structure, Reece applies the lessons that he’s learned in over a decade of constant warfare toward avenging the deaths of his family and teammates. With breathless pacing and relentless suspense, Reece ruthlessly targets his enemies in the upper echelons of power without regard for the laws of combat or the rule of law.

“Told with a deft hand and a keen eye for detail, The Terminal List…is explosive and riveting” (Kevin Maurer, coauthor of No East Day) and is perfect for fans of Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, Stephen Hunter, and Nelson DeMille.

Critic reviews

Downloaded Audible just for this book.

After seeing Jack Carr on the Joe Rogan Experiences I immediately downloaded the book using my free credit on Audible to download it. After listening through the Terminal List I could not wait until my next credit to download the next book (True Believer) and I am almost through that. Long story short, Jack Carr is my new favorite author.

BEST BOOK I HAVE LISTENED TO SINCE JOINING AUDIBLE

Would you consider the audio edition of The Terminal List to be better than the print version?

With your next vacation day, get this book. Start with a cup of coffee with breakfast. A cool drink and a sandwich for lunch and a social drink or two until you beg for another book.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Terminal List?

Chapter One through Chapter 78

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes! oh, did I say....... "YES"?

Finish It

I have read the book twice. Watched the series & now listened to it. I enjoyed this production more than expected due the fact of the different mediums allowing different interpretations & understandings of the story & of James Reece. A brilliantly written & executed story. Outstanding!!
