The Terminal List by Jack Carr Book Summary
#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, coauthor of No East Day) and is perfect for fans of Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, Stephen Hunter, and Nelson DeMille.

An interesting story telling but too much conservative points of view. I enjoyed reading this book and it is an interesting story but as I was reading the book, I could not help but thinking that the bad guys resembles the Clintons. I think as Jack Carr was writing this book, he was thinking about Hilary Clinton to be the next president of the US and did whatever he could to reflect his thoughts on her. I am not particularly found of Hilary but this was a big turn off for me and I don’t think I would read another Jack Carr book again.
Apropos! Nicely done. Hard o put it down! Great story! Being a former Marine, I loved it! With all going on in the US, I agree! Can’t wait to read the next story!
Addicting. I don’t read very often, but I bought this book (series) to get caught up before it comes out on prime video. I could not put it down. Starting book 2 now.
Great Read. Great story
So excited to continue the series. Great read, had me on my toes the entire time!
Fantastic. Great read and keeps you wanting more.
The Terminal list. Awesome
Tedious!. Carr’s detail might impress some readers, but I found it excessive, boring, and off-putting! If Carr toned down the gringing details & minutiae, the story would be much more enjoyable! I have the same criticism is book #2, True Believer! I bought it, hoping for less, but now am struggling to get through the book. If I manage to finish True Believer, I done with Carr.
Exceptional!!!. Exceptional!!!
Write what you know.. The old adage for writers is to write about what you know. The plethora of detail in Carr’s book demonstrates he followed that advice. (I had forgotten about clearing weapons into a dirt barrel, sand for him.) The plot seems less and less impossible as time goes by.
Excellent book and series. Great story line. Don’t believe the words of left liberals doing their best to put down this book. Worth your time. Can’t wait to find out what comes next for these characters!
One of the best reads in a long time.. I find it hard to get into a book. The Terminal List has everything I could want in a great read. You won’t put the book down until it’s done. On to the next one.
Great book!. I can’t put it down. The detail is awesome, the plot is unambiguous but held my attention. I’d rank it up there with the fifth assassin series by Brad meltzner. And to those complaining about “liberal bashing” in the book, you brought that on yourselves. Long and short of it is it’s a great, action packed read. Will definitely be picking up true believer and savage son asap.
The Terminal List. Fantastic book
Weak spy novel. While an easy read, the story was too predictable. One small twist but otherwise as straightforward as an episode of 24. Meh.
Good read. Vengeance is always a good story. James Reece delivers it in spades. Read it if you love our country.
Right wing propaganda. Seemed interesting until “liberal bashing character” was its focus
Meh. Show was so much better than the book.
Loved this book. Great read from start to finish.
Thrilling. This book is going to be a classic good verses bad heart pounding thriller. Well done !
Addicting. Great story. Addicting and hard to put down.
It’s like Jack is a prophet.. This book rings almost true after the event of March 2020 and following 29 months.
Great read! Long review but hear me out.. This is the 2nd book that I have ever read in my life and it won’t be the last! I bought Savage Son on audiobook cause I had heard about it on some podcast and I loved it! I didn’t know that it was the 3rd book in Jack Carr’s series so I bought Terminal List. Not knowing it was the book and not the audio version I was kinda disappointed. But after I started reading it I couldn’t put my phone down!! I can’t wait to read True Believer!! Keep ‘em coming Mr Carr!
Incredible book!. What an awesome writer Jack Carr is! James Reece is a complete savage and I can’t wait to read the next!
Outstanding. I’m not a reader. I read this in less than a month. Jack has made a reader out of me and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Amazing Story!. Best book I have read in a long time! Can’t wait to continue reading series.
Better than TV. Wow! Just finished the book and watched the Amazon Prime series. I hope there is a second season to discover and cover the rest of this story.
Amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book
No PC zone. It was so refreshing to read a book that didn’t have PC characters, themes, and language. I stopped reading novels years ago because it seemed like all my favorite authors had caved to the pressure to add in some kind of politically correct character or theme. Terminal list had none of that. It was a no nonsense solid plot with good guys and bad guys and a powerful, intelligent lead character. I don’t know much about guns and military but I still enjoyed the details that the author frequently added. I highly recommend Terminal List to anyone who loves murder mystery, action adventure, and military political thrillers… and I especially recommend it to anyone who wants a break from our PC inundated culture!
Perfect!. Unbelievable! Great and easy read! Job well done Jack!
Great book, half decent TV series.. Amazon butchered the book to make it palatable to as many people as possible. Very little is the same.
Terminal List review. Loved this book, can’t wait to see the mini-series. Jack Carr writes great novels that you can’t put down once you start reading them. I have rad all of his books and highly recommend him. Keep them coming.
Amazing story!. The next “Tom Clancy.” A very good story with a true set of characters to cheer for. I recommend this to anyone. Thank you for your Service.
WOW. This book got me hooked into Jack Carr. I had heard good reviews of the show. Seen episode 1 & knew I needed to read the book. If you’re a reader you know the adaptions never do the books justice. This was a perfect example. The amount of details Jack Carr put into this book is incredible. I was hooked from the moment I picked the book up. I am now onto the third book in less than 2 months! Highly recommend.
Excellent! Couldn’t Put the Book Down. One of the best books I have read in a long time!
The Terminal List. The story was good, predictable. Too much “gun nut” detail. Way too much right wing political nuggets along the way. Reece was “perfect”, no flaws, was shot a couple times but was still capable of “world class” athletic times. It was pure vigilante justice that is glorified because he’s a god almighty SEAL and is above reproach. Mr. Carr is probably selling a lot of books. He got my money on this one….
Badassery. Excellent character buildups, meticulously detailed tactical operations and powerful motive to kill some bad people made this a great read.
Captivating story!. Jack Carr’s story about Navy Seal, James Reece grabs the reader by the throat from the first pages. If you’re looking for a engrossing thriller in a series, you’ve found one!
Look at Current Events. Great thriller, but couldn’t be more true. When will a James Reese come to save America?
Clichéd at best.. Several scenes of gore and torture that destroy any connection between the reader and the lead character. The pages of thank you’s to accomplished writers confirms that this is a mere knockoff of the genre. If you are looking for character development, don’t stop here. If you want paper thin plots, here’s your book.
Hooked. Great writing: realistic and brutal
You can’t put this down!. Exciting and believable from start to finish. Our country needs more heroes like Reece.
Terminal List. Action packed from start to finish. Love the main character. This definitely caused me to purchase another book.
Great First Entry!. My favorite series currently. Filled with everything you need to grab ahold of your attention and never let it go. Well don’t Mr Carr.
Speechless and Impressed. Awesome book, so detailed, seems like you’re in movie when reading this book.
Lacks plot. This book is not good. Feels like a disgruntled white man making liberals responsible for domestic terror.
Terminal List. Fast moving, great action. Cannot wait to read True Believer.
The terminal list. What an exciting book from page one, till the last chapter. It’s hard to put it down once you’ve started reading. Looking forward to reading his next book!
Great great, sorrowful, story. James Reece, main character, is another Jack Reacher, enough said. The story has excellent characters to love and hate, and the action is nonstop with many surprise twists and turns. Just as good as the Gray Man stories. Put your seat belts on and read.
Amazing. The book has your hooked from the start! Can’t wait to continue in the series!

Now I have to buy the next books. I read this book in 3 days, the last one starting at midnight and finished the book a 530 in the morning. It is that good!!!! The story flowed and kept me turning pages. I would like to thanks black riffle coffee for introducing me to these stories and author.
The Terminal List. Phenomenal book...Jack Carr’s writing style combined with the attention to detail with his first hand experience is a book that is hard to put down!! Well done Mr Carr
Conspiracy is a four-letter word meaning someone must die.. Lt. Cmdr. James Reece is a deadly team leader who has an intimate familiarity with the rigors of battle and death. But when a group with deadly secrets begin killing everyone he knows and loves, he will take matters into his own hands. First his team, then his family. They just keep coming. Call it justice; call it revenge; call it brutal; just don’t call it dishonorable. He is done following the wrong orders, even if it kills him. Jack Carr does a masterful job spinning a dramatic and action-packed story of deception and political maneuvering. He captures the essence of betrayal with a superbly compelling tale. Reece will need equal measures of luck and skill to stay alive long enough to find the truth. When he starts scribbling names on his list, you’d better hope yours isn’t on it.
Awesome Read. Great read tough to put down. Look forward to his next book
Terminal List. Fabulous just Fabulous
Terminal List. Just saw Joe Rogan’s toast in haters and felt compelled to go back and rate your books. Really enjoyed both books and hope you keep going. Vince FLYNN has always been one of my favourite’s and Now you are too. Thank you for your service

Kill Procedural. The story is a guy who kills all the people he hates. In the background is a strong ideology where liberals are evil and conservatives are good. The particular bad guys here with these goals and priorities would be conservatives, not liberals.
Sooooooooo Good!. Fast paced action story that grabs you from the first page! I am buying the next two books. So glad Amazon is making it into a series with Chris Pratt. Perfect actor to play James Reece. Please don’t let Hollywood wreck it with political correctness the way they wrecked the Vince Flynn/Mitch Rapp movie.
Wow! Great read!. This was a great thriller, read cover to cover much quicker than I usually do. Might be better than a Clancy novel...
Great book. What a great read‼️can’t wait for the next one.
Awesome book!. I haven’t read a book in a LONG time front to back because they’ve bored me lately. This one was NOT the case. Truly awesome read. Ready for the next one!
Fire. Could not put it down!!
Very addictive. First book I’ve read in a decade, absolutely awesome
My New Favorite. This book is perfect. I usually don’t read that often and I couldn’t put this one down. Absolutely AMAZING!
Excellent book... movie potential. While my usual taste in books comes in the category of (auto)biographies, a flyer for book 3 release was stashed in this months black rifle subscription. I looked it up to check out the details and decided to buy this first novel to get caught up. Had I started reading in the morning yesterday, I probably would have finished this in one day. But life gets in the way, sometimes. With the details contained in the story, I had no problems imagining vividly, the scenes of a movie plot. I couldn’t help but put a “Mike Banning” like character to Reece. I read many of the reviews before writing my own but not without chuckling at the haters who felt it was politically one sided to the side that is obviously not of their own. Not sure what was expected from a novel based on political corruption, considering we all know Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself.
Every page a thrill to read. Great character development and an amazing ride.
Trite.. I rarely don’t finish a book. And I knew the kind of book I was buying - the kind I like to read from time to time. But this one is just plain bad. The hero is the perfect, idealized warrior. He can make impossible shots with ease and knows just how to be a good friend to his mates. The bad guys are cartoonish, missing only the twirling mustache, and for some reason likely having to do with the author’s world view they are all Democrats - hilarious. It all passes so exactly like the plot you would expect of a book like this, I kept waiting for something unique to happen. The only unique thing I found was a plot that made little sense. Why would the bad guys even do this? Why not go be evil to a bunch of people that aren’t able to shoot them for it? I guessed the “big” plot twist early and after it happened just put the book down. I didn’t need to read this book. I already have.
Outstanding. As a guy that hasn’t read a fiction novel in years, I can say The Terminal List was the perfect book to break the cycle. A true page turner with the attention to detail any man of action can appreciate! A must read thriller!
Great book!!. Full of action in suspense! It was a pleasure to read. One of the books that you never want to put down!
Great book!. I can’t wait till the next one! I was impressed with the story line and loved that an actual Navy SEAL with real life experience wrote it. I HIGHLY recommend it! 5 out of 5! -Aaron Singerman.
Wow. Finished this book within 3 days. That’s saying something. The storyline was riveting and kept things as interesting as an thriller can. I will be continuing on with the other 3 books in this series.
Normally not my type but loved it. I downloaded the audio book at work after I had listen to him on a pod cast and finished it in a day. I don’t normally like books like this but I loved it!
Thanks to you im getting into reading. I have never been a big reader before and thanks to your book i am getting into reading!!
The terminal list. Well paced action with a few slow sections
Great Read. About 1/3 of the way through and already looking forward to the next book! Very well written! Would love to see it as a movie - if they stick to the book.
The terminal list. Great read! I knew from the first few chapters it had me and that my husband would like it. He procured the audio version and is anticipating the next book.!
Great first book. It’s fast paced, authentic and raw. Great character development and I’m looking forward to the next book!
WOW!!!. If you want to read an author who knows the tools of the trade and their uses, Jack Carr, is the man to read. Thanks for your service, from a USN Viet-Vet.
Jack Carr is my new favorite author.. Killed this book in 3 days, the fastest ive ever read a book. Not because I’m a speed reader (I’m actually pretty slow), but because i just could not put it down. Before i read the final page i had to get my hands on the next one, and I’m sure it will be the same for the rest of the books in this series. Jack Carr, thank you for your stories, your creativity, and your gift. Most of all, thank you for your service. 🇺🇸
Disapponting. A lack of character development, the author’s right-wing political agenda, and an amoral main character unable to distinguish between retribution and justice make this action-packed novel a fast but disappointing read.
The Terminal List. Terrific book.
The Terminal List. Excellent book, I could not put it down!!
Excellent!. Great book, lots of action. Hopes there’s more books on this character
Fantastic read. Fast paced and accurate. What more can you want? Other than maybe a lot of revenge served up cold.... oh baby it has that in spades!
Too political. He had the beginnings of a great book, then spoiled it by getting over political🤦🏽♀️
Amazing. Love this author!
Couldn't put it down!. Phenomenal writing. Captivating for the entire read and found it very difficult to put down. Excellent character build up that many can relate to. Looking forward to many more.
Best read ever!. Absolutely amazing! Every single detail was super important to the story snd made the whole thing super exciting. James Reece is a beast
Great book. It’s an edge of your seat, can’t put it down read. Awesome!
Great book. Fast paced, and flooded with accurate details. Loved it
Don’t waste your time. Full of stereotypes, gore for the sake of gore, a juvenile perspective, and a dictionary of junk military lingo to replace the absence of any imagination in the writing of the book!
Very good. This book was one of the most gripping books I’ve ever read. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment.
Great book!. Reece’s story leaves you on the edge of your seat throughout! Consistently captivating and very eye opening perspective into the eyes of the great men that protect our country! Thank You Mr. Carr for a great book and your service to our country.
Great story!. Absolutely amazing!!
Can’t wait for the movie. Absolutely jampacked with action! Twists and turns like you would’ve never predicted. Immediately starting the next novel in the series
simplistic storyline. book is so enamored with technical government, war and firearms terms to enhance its accuracy, it almost overwhelms the storyline. just a revenge story with lots of death, destruction and little else. but, if you’re into mayhem and conspiracies, you’ll probably like it.
Awesome Book. Action Packed!!! Top notch writing, extremely entertaining!!! Could not put it down! Absolute Must Buy!!!
James Reece is a Hit!. Great read. This ranks right up there with Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, and Daniel Silva. I can’t wait I start the next book True Believer.
As expected, fun and entertaining. Summary: the bad guys lost. How great is that!
Hooyah Jack!. Fast paced, heart pounding, nonstop action with a little pause for reflection. This book for me back into reading and I’m glad it did! On to book 2!
A very well written story.. I couldn’t put it down, the action never stopped. Bravo
The Terminal List. This was the worst novel I have read in years! Unless you're a gun nut & love all the minutia Carr babbles on about weapons, I can't imagine anyone else enjoying this book. Carr's macho bs is not entertaining nor is it attractive. He does the SEAL community a grave injustice.
Great read!. I was not familiar with the author prior to my discovery of The Terminal List. Upon reading a couple short articles and posts on social media, I thought I had a general idea of what would be the writers style. He certainly surprised my expectations. Twists and turns, along with the details of Reece’s personal mission had me transfixed and gripping for more. I look forward to starting the next book. Great read!
Intense. This might be the most addictive book I’ve ever read. I binged through it in just over two days because I couldn’t put it down. Luckily I already bought True Believers and Savage Son, because I can’t wait to read more about James Reece.
Good work. I rarely read fiction, because I’m a writer myself—professional jealousy, I suppose—and besides the classics, there’s such a plethora of true stories, why waste time on anything else? This is why. This book grabs you like a starving anaconda who’s just benevolent enough to let you catch a breath every so often. Well done.
The Terminal List. Outstanding book...I could not put it down
