Lista condamnaților este volumul care deschide o serie antrenantă, plină de pericol și răsturnări de situație. Inspirată din viața autorului, fost soldat, seria aceasta promite mult și sunt sigură că va cuceri inimile multor pasionați de romane intense, tactice și încărcate de adrenalină. Eu nu știu foarte multe despre lumea militară, dar cunosc câteva detalii despre trupele SEAL. Să fim serioși, cine nu a văzut măcar un film cu pușcași, lunetiști și soldați antrenați în cele mai grele condiții?

„Orice fan al romanelor lui Brad Thor și regretatului Vince Flynn își va da seama că, în curând, Jack Carr va sta în curând alături de ei.” The Washington Times

Nu mi-a fost greu să cred că seria lui Jack Carr a fost adaptată pe micile ecrane. Am avut și eu, dincolo de toate acele detalii despre lumea militară și armament, impresia că văd un film de acțiune, punctat de răzbunare, polițe de plătit, corupție și sfori trase la cel mai înalt nivel

Overall I really enjoyed the storyline in this book. There was a little too much gun-porn for my taste, but I’m sure it resonates with some. The author also seemed to over-describe unnecessary things. These things didn’t keep me from really enjoying the story though. I’m looking forward to book 2.

this book, at it’s basics, is a revenge story.  It’s no Count of Monte Cristo but there’s a lot of parallels between James Reece and Edmond Dantes.  Both are complicated men and just painting them with a simplistic brush would be doing either a disservice and missing the point.  There’s a lot of depth to this story but it’s hampered somewhat by the prose, which is forgivable as this is the author’s first published work. 

Jack Carr’s prose is simplistic and functional.  It’s obvious that the author knows his subject matter intimately.  The functional nuts and bolts of the story is well wrought and through, creating a serviceable military and political thriller that has a lot to say about what motivates people in power.  However,  the prose is mostly what gets this book knocked down from a higher rating as it can be overly detailed and infodump (which I’m not opposed to but it got repetitive). 

The story is fast paced with Reece as a great narrator as he seeks vengeance for his wronged brothers in arms and for his family.  Comparisons are inevitable to the books of Brad Thor or Tom Clancy.  If you like either of those writers, this book is for you.  There is violence and Reece’s state of mind is predictably drowning in grief and anger.  If those things scare you, this isn’t your book. 

Overall, would recommend.  I’ll be picking up the next one in the series and continuing.  I’m curious what happens next to John Reese.

The book is a very cliche action novel. I think there are better titles in the genre 

An engaging book. Very much enjoyed it.
