Summary

​“Take my word for it, James Reece is one rowdy motherf***er。 Get ready!” —Chris Pratt, star of The Terminal List, coming to Amazon Prime

The #1 New York Times bestselling Terminal List series continues as James Reece embarks on a global journey of vengeance。

A woman boards a plane in the African country of Burkina Faso having just completed a targeted assassination for the state of Israel。 Two minutes later, her plane is blown out of the sky。

Over 6,000 miles away, former Navy SEAL James Reece watches the names and pictures of the victims on cable news。 One face triggers a distant memory of a Mossad operative attached to the CIA years earlier in Iraq—a woman with ties to the intelligence services of two nations…a woman Reece thought he would never see again。

Reece enlists friends new and old across the globe to track down her killer, unaware that he may be walking into a deadly trap。

As a winner of the goodreads advanced copy give away, I feel obligated to write this review。 So from a normal guy who doesn’t write many reviews here goes: This might be my second favorite entry of the Terminal List series。 For reference, “Savage Son” is the best, in my opinion。 However, by the author’s own admission, “Savage Son” is also the story he has wanted to write since he was a young adult, so it should come as no surprise it is the strongest in the series (again, at least in my opinion) As a winner of the goodreads advanced copy give away, I feel obligated to write this review。 So from a normal guy who doesn’t write many reviews here goes: This might be my second favorite entry of the Terminal List series。 For reference, “Savage Son” is the best, in my opinion。 However, by the author’s own admission, “Savage Son” is also the story he has wanted to write since he was a young adult, so it should come as no surprise it is the strongest in the series (again, at least in my opinion)。 Book five cuts much of the heavy handed political statements present in “The Devil’s Hand”, although the overtones and sentiments are still very much present, as one would (and should) expect in a political military action thriller written by a former Navy SEAL。 However, it’s much less “in your face” than it was in book four。 Instead, the narrative returns to being heavily focused on the action and the storytelling。 While it does get a little complicated as characters try to outwit each other, it is also a welcome return, and this installment provides a little bit of a deeper dive into the spy side of James Reece’s world。 As with the previous entries in the series, the information in the book appears to be very well researched by Jack Carr, with many of the events feeling fairly plausible and mostly grounded in reality。 Well, all but one thing, but there will be no big spoilers here (other than this “thing” involves cyber security and quantum engineering and almost feels too sci-fi in nature and not at all at home in the Terminal List universe)。 But then again, maybe Jack Carr knows something I don’t, as the White House has just pledged a budget increase for both cyber security and quantum engineering (as of May 2022)。 The description of the action scenes is, as always, extremely detailed and paints a beautiful and complete picture in your mind as you read, and of course Carr “nerds out” on many of his vehicle and gear descriptions, which although appreciated by myself, might as well be written in another language if you don’t know what he is talking about。 Overall, the story delivers for anyone who is a fan of the series or the genre in general, and appears to wrap up the James Reece storyline…until it doesn’t…(this is a series after all)。 I loved it and as I stated this might be my second favorite book in the series。 4。5/5, would definitely recommend。*From myself: Book 5 of Terminal List series follows protagonist James Reece as he tracks a world class sniper, in an attempt to avenge the death of his best friend and former SEAL teammate。 But the sniper is a hunter as well, and has his own plans for Reece。 Their attempts to outsmart each other take them around the world as they draw ever closer to one another。 Along the way, Reece will use every contact and resource he has to track his enemy and try to stay one step ahead of a foe who is doing the same。 *From the publisher: “A woman boards a plane in the African country of Burkina Faso having just completed a targeted assassination for the state of Israel。 Two minutes later, her plane is blown out of the sky。Over six thousand miles away, former Navy SEAL James Reece watches the names and pictures of the victims on cable news。 One face triggers a distant memory of a Mossad operative attached to the CIA years earlier in Iraq- a woman with ties to the intelligence services of two nations。。。 a woman Reece thought he would never see again。As Reece tracks down her killer, he may be walking into a deadly trap。。。。Ripped from world events, the twists and turns of In the Blood confirm that “James Reece is one rowdy mother****er" (Chris Pratt, star of The Terminal List, coming to Amazon Prime)。” 。。。more

Another Jack Carr masterpiece!! I was able to read the Advance Reader's Edition and I already can't wait for the next installment。 Jack Carr is able to grab you from the first page and keeps you on the edge of your seat until that last page。 He has an innate ability to weave modern-day, real-life issues with nerve-wracking, theatrical flair。Of all the things I enjoy about the James Reece series, the thing I like most is that in his fictional world, the elite and powerful are actually held to acc Another Jack Carr masterpiece!!

I didn't hate it, didn't love it。 It was probably a little too much of an action story for my taste I didn't hate it, didn't love it。 It was probably a little too much of an action story for my taste 。。。more

Jack Carr gets better and better every time。 His ability to build the story and bring the action right into your lap is phenomenal。 I am not the type of person to give details of the story in a review because I don’t want to spoil anything for the next reader。 I don’t even read the synopsis of a book before I read it if I am familiar with the author。 So let me just say this is action packed with James Reece doing what he does best。 He is a character I root for as much as I have ever rooted for a Jack Carr gets better and better every time。 His ability to build the story and bring the action right into your lap is phenomenal。 I am not the type of person to give details of the story in a review because I don’t want to spoil anything for the next reader。 I don’t even read the synopsis of a book before I read it if I am familiar with the author。 So let me just say this is action packed with James Reece doing what he does best。 He is a character I root for as much as I have ever rooted for a character。 Great writing, great storytelling and great characters。 I highly recommend this book。 。。。more

I was fortunate and won an advanced copy of In the Blood from Goodreads; I finished it last night and wanted to start it again immediately。 Jack Carr has outdone himself with In the Blood, building on his success with his first 4 novels in the Terminal List series。 The pacing is exquisite, the detail is perfect, and the action continues to pull you in。 Jack has shown he is the master of the political thriller genre, drawing on his years as a Navy Seal sniper and his interest in military history I was fortunate and won an advanced copy of In the Blood from Goodreads; I finished it last night and wanted to start it again immediately。 Jack Carr has outdone himself with In the Blood, building on his success with his first 4 novels in the Terminal List series。 The pacing is exquisite, the detail is perfect, and the action continues to pull you in。 Jack has shown he is the master of the political thriller genre, drawing on his years as a Navy Seal sniper and his interest in military history to provide details in his books which brings them to life。If you haven't started the Terminal List series, do so now, and make sure to order your copy of In the Blood! 。。。more

Lucky enough to win an ARC from Goodreads。 Have enjoyed these books since Carr's perfect debut, The Terminal List。 I have thought that the series kind of went down a little since then though this one is better then the last。 The story is of James Reece still going after the sniper that took out his friend。 Only that sniper has contracts on Reece so he is luring Reece in for a showdown。 That is if someone else doesnt get him first。 Seems a lot of people want Reece dead, though he seems hard to ki Lucky enough to win an ARC from Goodreads。 Have enjoyed these books since Carr's perfect debut, The Terminal List。 I have thought that the series kind of went down a little since then though this one is better then the last。 The story is of James Reece still going after the sniper that took out his friend。 Only that sniper has contracts on Reece so he is luring Reece in for a showdown。 That is if someone else doesnt get him first。 Seems a lot of people want Reece dead, though he seems hard to kill。The action scenes are well written and the Reece character is great。 However there are info dumps that hurt the overall flow of the narrarive。 Those along with the ever growing list of product placements that are awkwardly thrown in just makes me cringe for some reason。 However those are minor complaints and do little to alter my view that this is a well written thriller。Highly recommended and looking forward to next year for book 6。 。。。more

The worst part about every Jack Carr book is reaching the end, he crafts worlds with such care and skill I could live in them! In the blood is the 5th installment in the James Reece saga and I do believe it is his best yet, Jack said recently this was his most action packed book to date and I believe that’s a correct assessment, it’s got multiple scenes akin to the Mexico scene from the terminal list or the highway scene from the devils hand and more! This one picks up where the devils hand left The worst part about every Jack Carr book is reaching the end, he crafts worlds with such care and skill I could live in them!

This one picks up where the devils hand left off by a few months or so and sees Reece hunting down Nizar Kattan the sniper who killed his friend Freddy Strain。 This one’s a globetrotting, pulse pounding thriller that will leave you feeling like you need nerve medicine, I know it did me! I tried my best to slow burn it but couldn’t put it down! This one is DEFINITELY a must read for thriller fans action packed and with a ending that will leave readers STUNNED!!! 。。。more

I received an advance copy of this book so that I can do a review of it for Mystery Scene magazine。 I will update this review with a link to that review when it goes online。But suffice to say, I just freaking loved this book!
