The Terminal List: A Thriller

If you enjoy books about almost infallible good guys, you will really enjoy this story. Fast paced and with absorbing details of various weapons, the story has an unusual and topical plot.

I enjoyed this book. Action type men will enjoy. I was looking forward to the following on but how disappointing was that.

If you enjoy thrillers, don't wait, buy this book. It is one of the best debut thrillers I have read for a long time.The Terminal List is exciting, exhilarating and eye-opening. It pulls you in from the first page and doesn't let go until the last. Some of the scenes are so gripping you forget where you are, you are so engrossed in the story. That is the mark of an excellent author.Jack Carr has done a wonderful job of creating a character in James Reece that you root for right from the start, despite the sometimes shocking things Reece does. The scenes are so well written that you feel like you are right there, with a front row seat to the action.This is the first book by Jack Carr, and therefore you have no assurances, as you would in a series featuring the same character, that Reece will make it in the end. In fact, with an added aspect to the story that I will leave readers to discover, it is truly touch and go as to whether Reece will survive.This is an excellent debut novel that I highly recommend. Jack Carr is a new author to watch. I can't wait to read his next book.

This book was an absolute joy to read. Rarely do I consider a book flawless, but this was as close to it as you'll get.The storyline had me fully engrossed and vying for the main character to succeed. Also, despite my usual inability to keep track of multiethnic characters, I found myself truly understanding each character's intentions and back stories.The characters involved were likeable, even the bad guys because they were so well written and unique in their own ways. It's not the deepest character-driven book but the main character is written very well and had me wanting him to win.This book is also phenomenally written. The research into weapons, cars, locations, industries, government, the navy SEALS is so well researched. Well, I presume it is as I know little about these things and he's sold me on them all!I would highly recommend this for ANYBODY who wants a genuinely good read and loves action!

Easy read. Junkfood reading but interesting and gripping at times. Will continue to read the rest of the series. Highly enjoyable.

A Brilliant book The Terminal List so glad I read It . The twist and turns are great and keep you glued to the book 10/10

Firstly, I have nothing but the highest respect for those who put themselves in harm's way to defend freedom. As you would expect from a former SEAL, the tactical stuff is as accurate as he can make it without giving away actual techniques.The story is a by the numbers revenge deal. Brave hero is betrayed by vacuous politicians/career brass types for money, who then kill his family, forcing him to extract his revenge. There are an awful lot of similarities to "the Punisher" and it was pretty apparent how the story was going to go very early on.My biggest problem is that it lacks tension and depth. When James Reece chases down his tormentors, they don't really stand a chance and it never feels like he'll come off second best. Obviously, SEAL team members are tough hombres, however the main character feels invincible, able to second guess his adversaries and deal with anything they throw at him. I get that that the other author is immensely proud of being a SEAL (why wouldn't he be), but having everyone who meets the main character be in awe of his "bad-assery" felt a little self-congratulatory.The characters are either good or bad on a comic book level. There is no middle ground and this means they lack any real depth. Because of this, it's very hard to feel anything when the bad guys meet their end or to really care about any of the good guys. I wasn't suitably invested in any of the characters, largely because they all feel like cardboard cut outs.Also, even for a self-confessed weapons nut, I thought he went a little overboard with the amount of gun/scope/bullet/knife detail that is crammed in here. Whilst it might be accurate to describe the techniques of long range shooting, I am not sure it really adds anything to the story other than to bloat the page count. Does it really matter which brand of knife he is using? (or tactical travel mug!)Likewise, there were a lot of acronyms and other military related stuff that felt unnecessary.It's not a bad book and there are certainly worse in the genre, however I never really got to a point where I was that invested/involved in the story. If you like the Jack Reacher novels (which is clearly where this is pitched), then you'll probably like this - if nothing else, at least it's tactically more realistic!

Great plot and likeable protagonist. An excellent introduction to a series of books featuring the same character. The real-life experience of the author gives this book an extra edge.

O autor, Jack Carr aborta o tema de forma fantástica. Acompanhamos o personagem, James em sua saga para realizar sua vingança. Não dá para parar de ler. Os detalhes são de quem conhece o sistema e os Seals. Muito boa leitura, recomendo para quem gosta de ação, muita ação. Não foi a toa que virou filme e possivelmente uma série. Assisti s série "A lista Terminal" no Prime da Amazon. Muito boa. Vou ler os próximos livros do autor.

I like Jack carrs style of writing. You can literally imagine the characters and what they are thinking. This is a solid and easy to read book. If you like army related drama, this is great

Sehr gut.

Muy entretenido, hay nomenclatura tanto militar como estadounidense que puede dificultar la lectura pero Google es tu amigo

As most of you have seen and have come to understand is James Reece is one badass dude. This is a masterpeace carefuy crafted by Jack Carr that has a puzzle like resemblance. What I mean by this is that, is this intricate text has a storyline that will that shows you many different parts that take your mind on a rollercoaster but at the end the story all fits together and paints a picture/story that will leave you satisfied and wanting more!
