INSTANT BESTSELLER “Jack Carr and his alter-ego protagonist, James Reece, continue to blow me away.” —Mark Greaney, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Mission Critical In acclaimed author Jack Carr’s follow-up to The Terminal List, former Navy SEAL James Reece’s skill, cunning, and heroism put the US government back in his debt and set him on another path of revenge. 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. A high-intensity roller-coaster race against time, True Believer is “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. The book is written that way but it may come out more in the audio. 2. I know the character is a navy seal and highly trained soldier trained to avoid emotion and get their mission done. 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...”
