About this audiobook
#1 NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR
“Take my word for it, James Reece is one rowdy motherf***er. Get ready!” —Chris Pratt, star of the #1 Amazon Prime series The Terminal List
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-written—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, co-author of No East Day) and is perfect for fans of Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, Stephen Hunter, and Nelson DeMille.

The action was decent but the overtly Republican political overtones were constant and bordered on being ridiculous. Everything came back to the fact that all of the ills of the world are caused by Democrats and liberals. The references only served to stop the action and insert the authors obvious leanings. Trump would be proud. We will not be getting the next book and will not be watching the series.1 person found this helpful

So totally recommend this book! One of the best I have heard in audio in a long time. The speaker was clear and concise. Unfortunately I believe a lot of these kind of backhanded deals happen in the military - hopefully not to this extent! I really enjoyed the content.1 person found this helpful

I could not put it down, non-stop action & suspense with a surprise at the end. A touch of realism and a lot of details on gear because the author is a former navy seal. Very credible plot at least about the conspiracy. Pretty violent but all the violence fits in with the theme of the story. I gave it 5 stars because I could not put it down, I kept wondering what would happen next. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5
