In this special collection of Danger Close episodes, Jack sits down with Atria Books Deputy Director of Publicity, David Brown, and IRONCLAD Director of Original Content, Jesse Carey, to break down each novel in his bestselling Terminal List series.
The latest installment in the series, ONLY THE DEAD, releases this week.
In each episode of this spotlight series, Jack, David, and Jesse give fans a behind-the-scenes look at the James Reece saga, providing plot overviews and summaries of each of the books leading up to ONLY THE DEAD to let fans catch back up on the story. (Warning: These episodes contain spoilers.)
In this episode, they discuss book 2, TRUE BELIEVER.
From the publisher:
When a bomb goes off during a holiday fair in London, the body count is horrific and the nation’s market goes into a tailspin. This, it turns out, is just the beginning of a series of coordinated and murderous attacks against the whole of the Western world. As the scope of the mayhem grows ever wider, pulling in country after country, the United States goes on the offensive. Who is pulling the strings? What is their motive? And most important of all, how can the attacks be stopped before bloodshed and economic freefall bring America and her allies to their knees?
There is just one man who stands a chance of answering these questions. Former Navy SEAL James Reece is the only and crucial connection to a shadowy former Iraqi commando who could provide leads the CIA desperately needs. Reece might be America’s last hope. Unfortunately, he is also America’s most-wanted domestic terrorist. To rein him in, a bargain is struck and Reece becomes the reluctant tool of the United States government, traveling the globe to target terrorist lead- ers and unraveling a geopolitical conspiracy involving a traitorous CIA officer and a sinister assassination plot with worldwide repercussions. There is always another true believer out there willing to kill for his cause. James Reece will be there to stop him.
A high-intensity roller-coaster ride, True Believer explodes with action and authenticity that cements Jack Carr as the new leader in political thrillers.
