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.

On his last combat deployment, Lieutenant Commander James Reece's entire team was killed in a catastrophic ambush that also claimed the lives of the aircrew sent in to rescue them. 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.

An intoxicating thriller that cautions against the seduction of absolute power and those who would do anything to achieve it, The Terminal List is perfect for fans of Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, Stephen Hunter, and Nelson DeMille.

The Terminal List

Reviewed in Australia on 27 January 2021

Verified Purchase

I really liked this book, I though it was well written, fast paced, well informed, and it was interesting to read about the war from an ex-Navy Seal’s perspective. You could definitely see a little bit of racism in this book towards Middle Eastern people, however it was only directed at terrorist organisations. It still made me uncomfortable but the author often had points about the goodness of Islam too. I though Reece was a fantastically intricate character, who was on the ever sliding grey scale of morals.
This book makes you question what you would do if this happened to you, but also makes you ask the question to whether Reece is still a good guy at the end of the book. Some of his actions are downright monstrous, but then again, he’s simply repaying the actions of others.
I really enjoyed this book, I thought it was great how the author left in the blacked out sections, it added to the realistic element of the book. The only other complaint I have is the epilogue, I thought it was unfortunate that it ended on that note, but all in all it was an excellent read.

The 80's called they want their plot back

Reviewed in Australia on 10 October 2018

Verified Purchase

I didn't expect much from this, I mean it's a first novel from an ex seal. And to be fair the guy probably has the chops to be a decent writer in a few books time.

But this is just God awful. The plot is literally the most unrealistic thing you can imagine. It's about Hillary Clinton (shes got a different name, and she's the secretary of defence not the sec state, and her husband is a pussy hound ex congressman instead of ex President) and an evil Hillary cabal who illegally test an experimental drug on SEAL's and then kill them all, and their families to cover it up.

Yeah, I know. And I'm not even American I could care less about USA politics, but this was just ridiculous. Like a Steven Seagal movie from the 80's but with Hillary Clinton as the bad guy.

It just gets worse and worse, the SEAL obviously goes on a killing rampage and extracts his revenge.

Awful.

Gratuitous violence

Reviewed in Australia on 18 February 2021

It was probably my first and last Jack Carr book
The hero Reece justified his trail of mayhem by blaming the cabal of greedy conspirators . They were as bad as each other. Besides being a super hero and/or villain the plot and the action, mainly murder, was contrived and hard to believe.
At least we learnt different ways that the villains could die.
I am not sure that it worries me more or less that Reece may re-emerge from the distant waters..

Action, Revenge, Family & the ultimate rush

Reviewed in Australia on 23 March 2020

I hadn’t ever heard of Jack Carr until I watched Seal Team on tv and noticed Jack through there instagram.

This book was the best book I had read in a long time. Any moment I could pick up the book I was engaged and living in Reece’s world. I thought about Recee and his next moves while I was living everyday life. I was thinking about the book and just couldn’t wait to see where “we” were going next on his journey.

Get ready for a hell of a ride and brace yourself to have the second book ready to pick up!

This is a well written action packed story. The main character is a moral but extremely capable fighter. His motivations are believable and the action well written. Very good.

Reviewed in Australia on 18 March 2022

Like a wish.com version of Reacher but with less emotional depth, less class, and the author very obviously LOVED the idea of the Jan 6th riots.

Politics aside it really could have been more well written. It writes like a 15 year olds gunnut fantasy.

Seal stuff was cool though I’ll give it that.

Got me back into reading

Reviewed in Australia on 12 May 2021

I’ve been struggling to get past the first chapter of most books I come across in the past few years, this book however, The Terminal List, has easily allowed me to cruise halfway through. Only book so far that can keep me intrigued. Looking forward to reading the rest of the book and the rest of the series. Period.

Good, not great debut (minor spoilers)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 July 2020

Verified Purchase

Firstly, I have nothing but the highest respect for those who put themselves in harm's way to defend freedom. As you would expect from a former SEAL, the tactical stuff is as accurate as he can make it without giving away actual techniques.

The story is a by the numbers revenge deal. Brave hero is betrayed by vacuous politicians/career brass types for money, who then kill his family, forcing him to extract his revenge. There are an awful lot of similarities to "the Punisher" and it was pretty apparent how the story was going to go very early on.

My biggest problem is that it lacks tension and depth. When James Reece chases down his tormentors, they don't really stand a chance and it never feels like he'll come off second best. Obviously, SEAL team members are tough hombres, however the main character feels invincible, able to second guess his adversaries and deal with anything they throw at him. I get that that the other author is immensely proud of being a SEAL (why wouldn't he be), but having everyone who meets the main character be in awe of his "bad-assery" felt a little self-congratulatory.

The characters are either good or bad on a comic book level. There is no middle ground and this means they lack any real depth. Because of this, it's very hard to feel anything when the bad guys meet their end or to really care about any of the good guys. I wasn't suitably invested in any of the characters, largely because they all feel like cardboard cut outs.

Also, even for a self-confessed weapons nut, I thought he went a little overboard with the amount of gun/scope/bullet/knife detail that is crammed in here. Whilst it might be accurate to describe the techniques of long range shooting, I am not sure it really adds anything to the story other than to bloat the page count. Does it really matter which brand of knife he is using? (or tactical travel mug!)

Likewise, there were a lot of acronyms and other military related stuff that felt unnecessary.

It's not a bad book and there are certainly worse in the genre, however I never really got to a point where I was that invested/involved in the story. If you like the Jack Reacher novels (which is clearly where this is pitched), then you'll probably like this - if nothing else, at least it's tactically more realistic!

The Terminal List by Jack Carr

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 September 2018

Verified Purchase

Thoroughly enjoyed this book of hard hitting, often brutal, but fully justified retribution. First book which I have read by this author, but will certainly be downloading more.
Perhaps at times a bit too much information regarding the weaponry involved, but this does not detract from the overall enjoyment. The book is well written with strong story line and characters. I would definitely recommend it. Well worth five stars.
Just one further comment, there is a glossary of terminology to be found immediately after the conclusion of the novel. Perhaps I missed any reference to this prior to commencing the story, but I am sure the reader will find it useful to be aware of it.

Stunning debut novel

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 February 2019

Verified Purchase

This book was an absolute joy to read. Rarely do I consider a book flawless, but this was as close to it as you'll get.

The storyline had me fully engrossed and vying for the main character to succeed. Also, despite my usual inability to keep track of multiethnic characters, I found myself truly understanding each character's intentions and back stories.

The characters involved were likeable, even the bad guys because they were so well written and unique in their own ways. It's not the deepest character-driven book but the main character is written very well and had me wanting him to win.

This book is also phenomenally written. The research into weapons, cars, locations, industries, government, the navy SEALS is so well researched. Well, I presume it is as I know little about these things and he's sold me on them all!

I would highly recommend this for ANYBODY who wants a genuinely good read and loves action!

I was a silly Billy, read the second book and the third one first,yes there is a series but they can be read as one book,I must admit, I cheated with the 2/3 books, I got them from my local library ( they could not get the first one for some reason), so I decided to buy it, simply because I like the storyline, the author knows what he writes about ( ex special forces) so all the technical write ups are true. If you like gritty, hard hitting ,up to date stories this is the one for you,dare I say, once you have read this one, you will want to read the next book/s. I myself am waiting for the fourth book, yes ,there is one, but enjoy the book, I did.

The author shouldn't wear his personal political beliefs on the sleeve of his 'hero'

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 June 2022

Verified Purchase

The basic story idea isn't particularly original, but what action thriller is these days? The writing is ok, but this isn't Lee Child. The author constantly suggests that the hero is the ultimate elite warrior, a warrior who justifies his actions through naive political views that clearly reflect the author's own position. At one point, this 'warrior' explains how he doesn't have a problem killing because he knows it's in the interests of saving lives and keeping his 'great' country 'safe'. Basically, he's a guy who feels no remorse after killing (even if it's prostitutes who may well have been illegally brought into the country against their will) as long as it helps him complete his personal mission. In my book that qualifies him as a sociopath. By the end of the book, after far too much description of gear load-outs and depictions of all bad guys as physically unattractive and all good guys embodying only characteristics associated with macho toughness, I decided to skim read just to get to the end. The end itself was incredibly unsatisfactory, and even by then I couldn't really picture the main character in my head. In fact, I realised that none of the characters were drawn well at all. I did know that Chris Pratt is due to play this guy, but even then I couldn't really picture him in this role. When this gets to the screen, I'm sure they'll have to shed all the right-wing political nonsense, and that can only be a good thing. I reckon it'll be one of those times when the movie is better than the book. I only paid 99p for the Kindle version of this one, but now I feel guilty that even this small amount has gone into the coffers of an author with such a political bent. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone...except perhaps Trump followers...they'll probably lap it up!
