Soon to be a TV series starring Chris Pratt.
Deep in the wilds of Siberia, a woman is on the run, pursued by a man harbouring secrets - a man intent on killing her.
Half a world away, James Reece is recovering from brain surgery in the Montana wilderness, slowly putting his life back together with the help of investigative journalist Katie Buranek and his longtime friend and SEAL teammate Raife Hastings.
Unbeknown to them, the Russian mafia has set their sights on Reece in a deadly game of cat and mouse.
In his most visceral and heart-pounding thriller yet, Jack Carr explores the darkest instincts of humanity through the eyes of a man who has seen both the best and the worst of it.

A great 3rd book by this new author. Be sure to start with the first though. Hard to put it down.

Brilliant, I loved it. Jack Carr is fast becoming one of my favourite authors. It was easy to lose myself between the pages for many enjoyable hours. For an Action Thriller, Savage Son has everything you want, a great character in James Reece, an edgy and tense plot. I also like that I couldn’t guess what was going to happen from one moment to the next.
Vic Rodriguez was keen to have James Reece on his permanent staff at the CIA. Reece was currently a temporary contract employee of the CIA’s paramilitary ground branch, however he was just recovering from having a benign brain tumor removed from his head. One that until recently thought was going to kill him. His close friend and former Navy Seal teammate Raife Hastings, had offered Reece to recover at their family property in Montana, at Kumba Ranch. Things improved significantly for Reece when Katie Buranek agreed to a visit, as he was becoming quite close to her. Half a world away, Oliver Grey is trying to track Reece down, as he would like nothing better than to see Reece dead. Problem is, Reece is obviously totally off the grid, and even if he did find him, Grey knew that Reece was going to be a very hard man to kill.
From start to finish this is an exceptional book, and I would certainly recommend it. 5/5 Star Rating.

Carr has crafted another brilliant face paced and slick read. Taking the reader beyond the pale in this unmissable third novel in the TerminalList series. Must read for fans of this genre.

Overshot the target with this one
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 March 2021Verified Purchase
I enjoyed the first book, much preferred the first half to the second but was very happy overall. I really loved the second book which had a Forsyth/Clancy vibe and felt more mature and better researched than the first book. I really disliked this last one, I even stopped reading half way through and came back to it later after taking a break and reading another book. My issues with this book;
1. Felt like wayyy too much 'product placement', I didn't buy an advertisement and it felt like quite a few sections were written for the sole purpose of 'promotion' rather than reader enjoyment. Who really gives a sh$t about how thick the meat is cut or the intricacies of wine, perhaps this appeals to others but I found it overbearing. I enjoyed some parts about service animal rehabilitation but added to everything else 😉
2. Too much detail, its clear the author researched extensively but this reminded me of the worst of Tom Clancy stories, those pages you would skim through because the author went off on a tangent about the complexities of submarine engines etc. It was tolerable in a Clancy book but this author is nowhere near that level of storytelling, yet.
3. Predictability, I knew exactly who was going to live/die by the end of the book.
4. The whole overland across Russia/Serbia was completely unnecessary nonsense imo.
5. Even as the author set up the next book he again overshot the target on detail so, rather than be exited about the next book I was just glad this one was over.
Conclusion;
1st book; needed some work but made me exited about reading the second book.
2nd book; the type of book I could happily read again.
3rd book; should probably sue the author for time wasted that I won't get back.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 February 2021Verified Purchase
I had read some poor reviews and was confused as the first two books had been excellent. I bought this at full price which was unusual as I prefer the Kindle Book Deals to buy my fix. I was worried that this was the start of s decline but it was anything but. It is so easy to read but not condescending. There is no obvious twist, no stupid plot mistake, no taking ages to develop anything. It is a great, rip roaring read. It is more accessible than Mitch Rapp, more empathetic than Jack Reacher. Anyone is open to dying other than the protagonist. Sometimes, there is a slight repetition of individuals and events from the other books but that at least keeps you upto date. If you like the other two books, then don't hesitate or listen to the naysayers. But. Enjoy. Wait until the next one.

Very close to dropping a full star for the redactions
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 June 2022Verified Purchase
Ok I'll get my gripes out of the way first! At this stage they just get on my nerves, there is no need, is the Netflix series just going to have a blank screen when it comes to these bits? It's Fiction make something up, you have to laugh when even in the Glossary there are redactions, no point in explaining what something is then blanking it out or is that just me?
I sort of felt that dropping the * was a bit harsh but it's also not 5* material, really somewhere in between. As far as the story arc, the first 20% of this book, is really just book 2 but change the places & character names but exactly the same formulae. The Book has 2 main story arcs, Oliver Grey from Book 2 who basically decides that Reece needs to die before Reece comes looking for him & the "Russians", mainly a Russian Psychopath who likes to hunt humans & a bit of the Russian Mafia. Reece through circumstance deals with one then the other. Without Spoilers the Grey story arc wasn't really a satisfactory ending & felt a bit rushed, on a Kindle it was literally 81% - 85% & I know that SEALs are super soldiers but 6 months living off of the land in Siberia in the winter! & somehow ends up at the exact location & at the right time. TBH this bit probably made sure I dropped off that star. Will read Book 4 but it won't be right way

Enthralling read.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 January 2021Verified Purchase
Every book that James Reece features in this series, up till now 3 so far, they are riveting reads that are un-put-down-able! The books contain many facets from romance, family, suspense & hunter or be hunted scenarios. Gruesome in parts or based on fiction or truth the reader has to decide. I await with bated breath as to the next instalment. Will he live or will he die, that’s the burning question!

It's good, but don't get the hype
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 May 2022Verified Purchase
These are ok stories, they are in my opinion great, I do not get the hype
The book follows a pretty standard storyline, no real surprises it's all pretty predictable
The first 30-40% of this book is pretty dull, but you keep going, because as said, you know where it's going and you want to get the fast paced action.
The last 30% rocks along at a respectable pace and it's this that saves it for me, if it had remained as per the start of the book it would have been 2* and the end of my interest in the series
I do hope the author starts to be less obvious
