True Believer
When a string of horrific terrorist attacks plagues the Western world during the holiday season, the broader markets fall into a tailspin. The attacks are being coordinated by a shadowy former Iraqi commando who has disappeared into Europe’s underground. The United States government has an asset who can turn the Iraqi against his masters: James Reece, the most-wanted domestic terrorist alive.
After avenging the deaths of his family and team members, Reece emerges deep in the wilds of Mozambique, protected by the family of his estranged best friend and former SEAL Team member. When a series of events uncovers his whereabouts, the CIA recruits him, using a Presidential pardon for Reece and immunity for the friends who helped him in his mission of vengeance.
Now a reluctant tool of the United States government, Reece travels the globe, targeting terrorist leaders, unraveling a geopolitical conspiracy that exposes a traitorous CIA officer, and uncovering a sinister assassination plot with worldwide repercussions.

Jack Carr
Jack Carr is not your typical thriller writer. His novels crackle with the urgency of lived experience, drawn from his two decades of service as a Navy SEAL. But it's not just his military background that makes his writing stand out—it’s how he brings the intensity of combat, the ethics of warfare, and the consequences of violence into gripping, character-driven narratives.
Born into a military family in 1975, Carr knew from a young age that his future would involve service. By the time he enlisted in the Navy in 1996, he was already obsessed with the elite world of Navy SEALs. Over the next twenty years, he rose through the ranks, eventually leading special operations teams in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the southern Philippines. His experience running sniper teams, practicing counterinsurgency, and commanding a Special Operations Task Unit in one of the most volatile regions of Iraq, shaped not only his military career but also the authenticity and grit that permeate his novels.

Reviews and Comments
I thought the book was just OK. Nowhere near as good as the first in the series. The story itself was pretty good but it was dragged out way too much. It took over 200 pages to get the important part of the book. I also didn’t like the blacked out text, didn’t think it was necessary. With all the bad things that happened to the main character, James Reece, the first book, you really root for him. You must read the first book prior to this one to understand him and the story. The author left us hanging in a couple of areas, one of the bad characters is still alive and James needs brain surgery which will be good lead-ins to future books. I intend to read the next book, just hoping the editors remove unnecessary text.
