Summary

PRE-ORDER RED SKY MOURNING, THE NEW JAMES REECE NOVEL, COMING JUNE 2024.

**NOW AN AMAZON PRIME TV SERIES STARRING CHRIS PRATT**

'Take my word for it, James Reece is one rowdy motherf***er. Get ready!' CHRIS PRATT

JAMES REECE IS BACK

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 an uncanny ability to rise to the surface, and with the odds stacked against him, James Reece is on a deadly mission generations in the making. But for a man on the warpath, odds are not important . . .

Intoxicating and timely, Only the Dead cements Jack Carr as 'a rare gut-punch writer, full of grit and insight' (Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times bestselling author). Fans of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Lee Child's Jack Reacher or Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp will love the James Reece series!

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

Great, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed listening to it

Only the dead puts Reece in a slightly different situation than the other books, and I liked it. Jack is beginning to form a complete history with the characters and this book has a definitively a part two.

Thank you!

Wow amazing story again

Again James Reece has us on the she of our seats from page one . God help us if even a small percentage of these events and plots could be fact and not fiction. I would not put it beyond’s the realms of possibility or probability. Can’t wait for next instalment - hurry up Mr Carr . Fabulous narration again from Ray Porter

This series gets better and better.

Quite possibly the best series on Audible at the minute.
Frighteningly realistic with many topics playing out in real time in the world,
Supremely written with the perfect choice of narrator.

Brilliant as always

Well paced, researched and basically just really well written and narrated. The attention to detail in every chapter makes it well worth a listen/read!

Can’t beat this narrator

Fantastic book, great action depiction and some fantastic twists and turns. Ray Porter’s narration is just amazing at creating characters and faces behind the text. The whole series is well worth a listen.
