Publisher's summary

Long-buried secrets. A devastating global conspiracy. And only one man who can stop it: Navy SEAL James Reece. From the “seriously good” (Lee Child) #1 New York Times bestselling author, Jack Carr.

In 1980, a freshman congressman was gunned down in Rhode Island, sending shockwaves through Washington that are still reverberating over four decades later.

Now, with the world on the brink of war and a weakened United States facing rampant inflation, political division, and shocking assassinations, a secret cabal of global elites is 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 the uncanny ability to rise to the surface in the present.

With the odds stacked against him, James Reece is on a mission generations in the making. Unfortunately for his enemies, the former SEAL is not concerned with odds. He is on the warpath. And when James Reece picks up his tomahawk and sniper rifle, no one is out of range.

UNPUTDOWNABLE!!!!

This is the 6th book on the James Reece series. I would highly suggest listening to the other books before this to get a feel for the characters and his development over the years. He has not changed his moral/ethical code since the beginning however this character has been put through the mill and then some.
The book begins vwith Reece in solitary confinement after the assassination of the president. He doesn’t know where he’s being held. All he knows is that he’s being fed once a day.
Once his close friends get him out and fill him in on current issues and events and of course he finds out that he’s the scapegoat. Reese is now on a mission, he knows this has something to do with his father who discovered corruption many years ago during the Viet Nam era. It appears that the same people who killed Reece’s father and made it look like an accident are involved in some kind of conspiracy today. They want the files his father left him in a safe deposit box. First he’s taken by Russians, he frees himself and takes a Russian for questioning, that man doesn’t free himself. Reece is kidnapped once again and held hostage on a boat with a nuclear weapon set on a timer to detonate. It looks like it might be curtains for our hero, but this is Reece so… there wouldn’t be any more books if he can’t figure out a way out in time.
This book is fast paced and action packed from beginning to end. It is worthy of your time and credit. Jack Carr is certainly up there with the better authors in this genre.
Ray Porter deserves an award for his stellar performance. I always enjoy listening to him.
This book is VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Good stuff

Excellent as always. The world would be a better place if the Islamic leaders and military were completely destroyed. Kept hoping that someone would nuke Iran. Darn.

Wow! Absolutely crushed this one!!

Might be the best book of the series! Loved every second of it. Had zero issues with anything! Incredible… the blend of reality and fiction goes wayyy past historical events of the world. Even the villains have a sense of realism to them. I love how he expresses all characters thoughts and points of view. Gets so deep and allows you to enter the mind of the bad guys and really get a sense of who they are and why they are on the mission they are on. 10 out of 10! God bless. Can’t wait for the Thomas Reece books… wink wink!

Possibly the best of the sequels

I really enjoyed the book. I'm glad that I took a couple of days to listen to it. The terminal list was a fantastic book fresh and new! just in case, "Hello Alice”

Great as always

Enough twists and turns as to not be predictable.
Always seems to short, always wanting the next one. This and the Grey Man are the best

He did it again

Another great book! I’m looking forward to the next one. The mix of reality and fiction is interesting and makes you question which is which.
