The Terminal List is a high octane revenge thriller that pits a Navy Seal against bigwigs in own government. The bigwigs were part of a scheme to use soldiers as guinea pigs for a new drug whose sale they would profit from. The problem for them was that the soldiers developed brain tumors. The way to hide the evidence: kill the guinea pig soldiers by setting them up for an ambush in Afghanistan. A bigger problem for them became the survivor of the ambush: Jack Carr’s Seal Team hero James Reese. When Reese finds the truth, he draws up his terminal list, a double meaning referring to terminal cancer and the eventual fate of the perpetrators. The action thriller follows Reese as he tracks down and eliminates everyone on his list. At the top of the hit list: the U.S. Secretary of Defense, Lorraine Hartley, an odious woman with presidential aspirations. Hartley bears a remarkable resemblance to HRC, making the way she is terminated of interest for readers with a disliking for her. The Terminal List is a remarkable book for its pacing, but also for its details about special forces and their weapons, tactics, and camaraderie. ( ) Revenge Conspiracy Thriller Masterpiece When liberal politicians (of both the civilian and military variety) purposely send a seal team into an ambush resulting in dozens of American servicemens' deaths, and then have the sole survivor's family murdered it's time for some serious payback. Obviously these backstabbing weasels have just pissed off the wrong man. Page turning goodness ensues. It would almost seem over the top if so much political BS hadn't happened during the Obama reign of terror (remember Benghazi or the Seal Team helicopter shoot down? How about the death of the Supreme Court Chief Justice?). The conspiracy in this book pales in comparison. Anyway, I haven't enjoyed a revenge thriller this much since reading Term Limits by Vince Flynn. Other revenge thrillers I have read and enjoyed include: The First Rule by Robert Crais, The Chinaman by Stephen Leather, Without Remorse by Tom Clancy and Fade by Kyle Mills. I'll be looking for more books from Jack Carr in the future. After this book, I think I have finally discovered a comparable series to Jack Reacher and Lee Child. James Reece's motivation, with his seal team and family both being killed and back story, as a long-standing and decorated Navy Seal, are excellent and believable. the level of support he receives is smoetimes hard to believe. Who has friends that would go to that length to help with their money and skills, that Reece gets here? But the action scenes are described well and in detail and the. book is a fun to read action fantasy, like watching, a Stallone, Statham, Norris, Van Damme or Schwartzenegger movie. I've started the next one already. The thorough glossary of acronyms. etc., is very helpful. If you want a good action thriller along the lines of Mark Greaney or Jonathan Maberry, then this may be for you. Carr does a lot right—he really does—but he also very much wears his politics right on his sleeve. And...well...some of it ain't pretty. But, if you can get past that, then it's a pretty good story. Basically, he's taken Marvel's The Punisher, and made it more realistic. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:#1 NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR "Take my word for it, James Reece is one rowdy motherf***er. Get ready!"â??Chris Pratt, all around great guy and star of The Terminal List, coming to Amazon Prime 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 that is "so powerful, so pulse-pounding, so well-writtenâ??rarely do you read a debut novel this damn good" (Brad Thor, #1 New York Times bestselling author). On his last combat deployment, Lieutenant Commander James Reece's entire team was killed in a catastrophic ambush. 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. "Told with a deft hand and a keen eye for detail, The Terminal List...is explosive and riveting" (Kevin Maurer, coauthor of No East Day) and is perfect for fans of Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, Stephen Hunter, and Nelson De No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
