Description de l’éditeur
“Take my word for it, James Reece is one rowdy motherf***er. Get ready!” —Chris Pratt, star of the #1 Amazon Prime series The Terminal List
The #1 New York Times bestselling Terminal List series continues as James Reece embarks on a global journey of vengeance.
A woman boards a plane in the African country of Burkina Faso having just completed a targeted assassination for the state of Israel. Two minutes later, her plane is blown out of the sky.
Over 6,000 miles away, former Navy SEAL James Reece watches the names and pictures of the victims on cable news. One face triggers a distant memory of a Mossad operative attached to the CIA years earlier in Iraq—a woman with ties to the intelligence services of two nations…a woman Reece thought he would never see again.
Reece enlists friends new and old across the globe to track down her killer, unaware that he may be walking into a deadly trap.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Carr's fast-paced fifth Terminal List thriller (after 2021's The Devil's Hand) finds CIA operative James Reece, a former Navy SEAL, at his ranch in Flathead Valley, Mont., when he learns that a commercial airliner was shot down shortly after takeoff from Ouagadougou, Burkino Faso, killing everyone aboard. Reece recognizes one of the victims from a photo displayed on a TV news program: Aliya Galin, a Mossad assassin whose life Reece saved on a shared mission in Baghdad in 2008. Reece flies to Washington, D.C., where his boss, the director of the CIA's Special Activities Center, tells him terrorist Nizar Kattan was responsible for bringing down the plane. Reece decides to seek revenge on Kattan for Aliya as well as for Freddy Strain, an old SEAL pal who recruited him to the CIA and was killed by Kattan years before. Meanwhile, Kattan is hunting Reece, hoping to fulfill a contract for Reece's death assigned by the director of Russia's foreign intelligence service. The action builds to a gripping final sniper vs. sniper shoot-out between Reece and Kattan. Military action fans will get their money's worth.
Avis d’utilisateurs
Très intéressant mais politiquement inepte.
J’ai lu tous les Jack Carr. C’est un écrivain très doué et le suspens ainsi que son indéniable connaissance de l’art de la guerre font qu’on ne se lasse pas à le lire. Par contre, politiquement, c’est très limité. Il semble que l’auteur ne parvienne pas à avoir une vision du monde et de ses leaders hors les militaires ou les ex-militaires. Et sa vision du monde est très droitière quoi que je sois persuadé qu’il se voit comme modéré. Malgré quelques longueurs sur les états d’âmes du héros qui poussent à la lecture en diagonale, c’est pas mal. Pas au niveau de Tom Clancy ou Robert Ludlum mais pas très loin.
Excellent
A ne pas manquer.
