**SOON TO BE A TV SERIES STARRING CHRIS PRATT** '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 A high-intensity roller-coaster ride, True Believer explodes with action and authenticity that cements Jack Carr as the new leader in political thrillers. Following his brutal quest for revenge, former Navy SEAL James Reece has fled the United States, emerging deep in the wilds of Mozambique. But he can’t stay hidden for long – when a string of horrific terrorist attacks plagues the Western world, the CIA tracks him down and recruits him. Now a reluctant tool of the United States government, Reece must travel the globe, targeting terrorist leaders and unravelling a geopolitical conspiracy that will have worldwide repercussions . . . If you loved Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp or Mark Dawson's John Milton, you will love True Believer and the James Reece series! Praise for Jack Carr and the James Reece series: '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 'With technical ferocity and devastating action sequences, Carr writes both from the gut and a seemingly infinite reservoir of knowledge in the methods of human combat. Loved it!' Chris Hauty ‘The best debut thriller of 2018’ Washington Times 'Thrilling' Publishers Weekly '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 'One of this year’s hottest thrillers, and a perfect fit for fans of Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, and Daniel Silva' The Real Book Spy

The story is well done, moves along, interesting characters and kept my interest. The problems I have are: 1. audiobook is read like reading an instruction manual. dry, matter of fact, unemotional.

However, that lack of emotion makes all attempts at him adding emotion about his family, friends seem just a distraction and doesn't come off sincere. 3. This is the most annoying. The author in preface talks about how cool of a soldier he was with top secret missions and the book had to be reviewed by DOD. Well then in the book there are hundreds of “REDACTED” inserted into the middle of the reading. This is STUPID and ruins the flow. If the DOD said a place/person was to be “REDACTED” then just make up a fake name or generic location. e.g. “.... there were 2 dead. Steve and REDACTED trainer. The REDACTED trainer did not deserve this as the REDACTED was a black site that...”
