About The Book

**THE EXPLOSIVE NEW THRILLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE TERMINAL LIST, NOW A MAJOR TV SERIES STARRING CHRIS PRATT**

1978, Rhode Island:
A freshman senator is gunned down, sending shockwaves through Washington that are still reverberating over four decades later.

Now: In a world on the brink of war facing rampant inflation, political division, and shocking assassinations, a secret cabal of global elites are ready to assume control. And with the world’s most dangerous man locked in solitary confinement, the conspirators believe the final obstacle to complete domination has been eliminated. They’re wrong.

From the firms of Wall Street to the corridors of power in Washington, DC and Moscow, secrets from the past have the uncanny ability to rise to the surface and with the odds stacked against him, James Reece is on a deadly mission that is generations in the making. But for a man on the warpath, odds are not important in this intoxicating and timely thriller from 'a rare gut-punch writer, full of grit and insight' (Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times bestselling author).

Praise for Jack Carr:

'A propulsive and compulsive series. Jack Carr’s James Reece is the kind of guy you’d want to have in your corner. A suspenseful and exhilarating thrill-ride. Jack Carr is the real deal' Andy McNab

'This is seriously good . . . the suspense is unrelenting, and the tradecraft is so authentic the government will probably ban it – so read it while you can!' Lee Child

'With a particular line in authentic tradecraft, this fabulously unrelenting thrill-ride was a struggle to put down' Mark Dawson

'Gritty, raw and brilliant!' Tom Marcus

'So powerful, so pulse-pounding, so well-written – rarely do you read a debut novel this damn good' Brad Thor

'Carr writes both from the gut and a seemingly infinite reservoir of knowledge in the methods of human combat. Loved it!' Chris Hauty

'A powerful, thoughtful, realistic, at times terrifying thriller that I could not put down. A terrific addition to the genre, Jack Carr and his alter-ego protagonist, James Reece, continue to blow me away' Mark Greaney
