fast-paced

Great book, really enjoyed the slow unravel and the exciting action and the methodical process that the main character extracts revenge.

I will note the TV series doesn’t do the book justice, if I hadn’t read the book I’d think it was a mediocre thriller because the show twists the motives and waters down the violence along with adding changes that make the main character seem less like a lethal killing machine and more like a combat veteran suffering from mental issues while relying on others to serve his revenge with being sloppy enough to get law enforcement’s attention, really irritating show if you read and enjoyed book.

It was a thing. Bob Lee Swagger is better.

Emotionally Thrilling, Time Sucking, Exhilarating Ride!

Mr. Carr knows how to sink his arrows into you from the first page. I haven't been so emotionally gripped by a book since Vince Flynn's Consent to Kill. Carr has a way of making you feel exactly how his character, James Reece, is which is both infuriating and satisfying all wrapped up into one small package.

If you don't appreciate the details of someone who writes with the knowledge and expertise of some who has been there, done that, then this book is not for you. Carr brilliantly writes with a detailed perspective that many authors lack. Prepare to read it once and then go back with a notebook and pen and take advantage of the wisdom that is inscribed on every page.

Jack Carr and his debut novel, The Terminal List, have quickly made it to my top 10 list that features Vince Flynn, Brad Taylor, Matthew Betley and Brad Thor. If you haven’t already, buy this book, clear your calendar, get comfortable and prepare for an intense ride.

Thank you, Mr. Carr for this remarkable journey. I look forward to a long line of James Reece novels in the future.
