The Terminal List by Jack Carr. , Item Weight In between, we get saccharine family scenes and a paint-by-numbers conspiracy that gets more complicated but not any more compelling. The cinematography, action sequences, the music also nicely round off the whole deal. His whole family and whole SEAL team dead? Utilizing the skills he has honed during his years in the military, Reece uncovers a project involving an array of businessmen, politicians, and military officials. See more Terminal List Ser. This intense thriller is well written and narrated beautifully by Ray Porter. A story about a Navy SEAL who goes rogue when betrayed by the establishment, this is written by a former Navy SEAL who definitely knows his technical stuff and the world about which hes writing. Take my word for it, James Reece is one rowdy motherf***er. I've read your first three books, bought four, and prepaid for your fifth. The Terminal List book series consists of True Believer, Savage Son, The Devils Hand, and In The Blood: A Thriller. Brilliant, I loved it. Just a little subtlety would have been nice. In the book, J.D. An officer sends Reece to the Naval hospital to ensure he is emotionally fit to go home. The only problem I have with this book is that I did not read it earlier!! Landing in Southern California, Reece puts the idea of the tumour out of his mind, wanting to see his family before anything else. There are also some sequences created specifically for the show that aren't in the book and scenes from the book that are either omitted or altered to fit the story in some other way, serving as an ode to the original book scenes, as well as a way to keep audiences surprised and guessing, especially those that have already read the book.

The consolidation of power at the federal level in the guise of public safety is a national trend and should be guarded against at all costs. As author Jack Carr writes in his preface, this is a novel of revenge. I am pausing in my search for the next book in this series to say, read it. I love revenge stories when I can get behind the main character but this was not the case in this novel. Not a fan of death of innocents. Over his 20 years in Naval Special Warfare he transitioned from an enlisted SEAL sniper specializing in communications and intelligence, to a junior officer leading assault and sniper teams in Iraq and Afghanistan, to a platoon commander practicing counterinsurgency in the southern Philippines, to commanding a Special Operations Task Unit in the most Iranian influenced section of southern Iraq throughout the tumultuous drawdown of U.S. (Carr was/is a SEAL himself so I give him high marks for his accuracy on SEAL training and expertise). I really enjoyed Jack Carrs writing style, and his ability to take the reader on such a thrilling journey.
