Only the Dead: A Thriller (Terminal List, Book 6)

“It was Alice” … if you’re a fan will understand. She’s not in the book often, but those few times her minor presence is representative of a bigger picture. Fits for me.Current events play an important roll throughout the story. Feeling as though this is what’s happening behind the scenes of governments.Ours is underestimated and it is our fault is a sub theme setting. We’re on a crash course. Distracted.I dragged this book out on audio for a week because it is the final installation. No more badassery from Reece.Partly because being in the story as a fly in the wall gave me time with a grandfather I’d recently found out had been a UDT or Underwater Demolition Team member until President Kennedy renamed them Navy Seals. In a way the series gave me time with my grandpa in spirit.I did not know my grand dad, but if I had imagine he could share a lot of stories. For a little while it felt pretty cool to live vicariously through Reece’s eyes wondering about the tales of my grandpa.For a year since seeing the Prime series and learning it was based on a book to the crescendo meeting Jack Carr tomorrow I’ve dined on six terrific thrillers and enjoy all including the special cover version from the Prime release autographed. My favorite is this book “shot and sign”. Mr. Carr shot an AR-15 bullet through 500 pages just under the title. Then signed underneath. Specially bound.In honor of my grandfather’s memory and these fun fiction tales recommend taking the journey. Badassery at its best, to me.As a veteran who worked certain jobs that require me to continue privacy am a little creeped out by fiction vibing facts of book six.Favorite part of the book is hearing Jack Carr share details at the conclusion that frankly make me go “Hmmm”.Fun side option, Mr. Carr interview on Joe Rogan May 16th. If you subscribe to Mr. Carr’s newsletter can get notified of updates, too.Exhale, now what? Never have I ever been so sunk in to an author so quickly. As I said earlier, spending fictional time with my grandpa was fun.Even if your family didn’t serve in the military this book is an action packed source of intrigue and unbelievable heroism and a whole lot of death.This book is not for you if you do not like guns or get upset about government stuff. It might agitate or anger your sensibilities. At times even I thought, holy F, this could be real.The story is so entangled in current events and factual details (even the author notes them at the conclusion of the audio) the struggle to wonder or not is as real as the facts although fictional experiences when not ‘redacted’ by the government edits.Sad the series is over. Cherry on top tomorrow at the book signing with Mr. Carr will make this one of my favorite reading journeys to date 🙌🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🥰

So after “In the Blood” the wait for this book, felt interminable, but now having read it, I can say it was absolutely worth the wait.Book 5 ended with one of the most shocking cliffhangers I have ever read, where Reece is arrested out of nowhere for the murder of his friend, and kindred spirit, the President of the United States.Only The Dead starts out finding Reece at his lowest point in the series since the murder of his wife, daughter, and unborn son in book 1. He is imprisoned in a manner that would drive not just weaker men, but MOST men to insanity.After several months Reece is able to find his way out, and is enraged. There are people who will do anything to keep him quiet and from uncovering truths that date back over 50 years, including threatening the well being of those he cares most about, and if you have read even one of the Terminal List books you know that the carnage wrought by Reece will be absolute, and in this he does not disappoint. As he does his best to finish what his father started in the shadows of Vietnam, he uncovers an audacious plot that could alter the worlds pecking order permanently.Jack Carr has a style of writing that personally I love. Somehow through works of fiction he conveys who he is, what he values, and how he thinks and views the world in a way that makes you think, while at the same time doesn’t feel like proselytizing. They never make me feel as if he wants me to believe the same thing he does, but instead that he wants his readers to educate themselves, and form educated opinions on their own, and if you pay attention every book includes suggestions for other books, both fiction and non-fiction. There are very few writers that can entertain and educate well simultaneously, but Carr has that innate ability.To sum up why this author and this book are so great; after reading it I’m left with the thought that if I could sit down and have a conversation with one living person, Jack Carr would be at the very top of my list.If you like the book(s), you will also enjoy his podcast, and of course the Terminal List TV show, which is great. Although there is no way I will ever read one of the books and picture Katie as Constance Wu

Klare Sache, crystal clear Sir, wer auf Thriller mag, die militarisch nicht nur angehaucht sind sondern auf das setting stehen ist hier goldrichtig.Leider ist es für leserInnen deren Englisch nicht einigermaßen ok ist nicht zu empfehlen.Sorry soviel zum Thema offensichtlich und redundant.Ich mag die Art Thriller und thank God my english is quiet good.Nach der erfolgreichen Serie, welche auf dem erst Roman basiert, wäre es vermutlich ziemlich lukrativ das mal voran zu treiben und auch den deutschen LeserInnen die Abenteuer des Froschmanns zu ermöglichen.

Jack Carr has done it again Most action packed yet I enjoy every page of this continuation of the James Reece saga. Definitely get this book !

A great read

Complete page turner. I read it in a day and a half. James reece is beast. Looking forward to the 2nd season of the terminal list aswell as the Ben Edward's prequel series. I hope this isn't the last time we get to read a James reece book. James and Katie deserve their wedding.

Another fantastic book in the series!!!
