Not bad for a guy who’s frequently found himself compared to the legendary Vince Flynn. That puts Carr’s sophomore book squarely in the discussion for the best thriller of 2019, next to mega-superstar authors such as Daniel Silva and Brad Thor. After they finally released the work of fiction for publication-with parts redacted, of course-before the summer, Carr was able to continue James Reece’s story and deliver his fans the book that the government (it seems) didn’t want them to read.Īlready, True Believer, now nearing its one-month birthday, has collected almost 130 reviews on Amazon, and is averaging- averaging-an insane 4.9 out of 5 stars.

Instead, after a lengthy and very public delay at the hands of the Department of Defense, Carr’s True Believer only just landed in bookstores back on July 30th.įor those who haven’t followed the story, it seems that the very background (Carr is a former Navy SEAL, like his protagonist) that has led to his books reading so authentic that you can almost smell the gunpowder also forced the Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review team to spend a little extra time going over his manuscript. If you follow Jack Carr on social media (and you should), then you’re already well aware of the fact that his second book-the highly anticipated follow-up to his acclaimed debut, The Terminal List-was initially supposed to come out in April of this year. On April 14, 2020, former Navy SEAL turned CIA counterterrorism operative James Reece will return to bookstores in Savage Son, the next high-octane thriller from Jack Carr.
