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.

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.
Customer Reviews
Great Story…Too much advertising
Carr tells a great story. But, he kowtows to his sponsors in ridiculous fashion. At some point, readers - however much we might be guns and ammo enthusiasts - get tired of reading all the “exactlies” on the equipment being used.
It’s Carr…bowing to his favorite coffee company, or hunting gear outfitter, or a laundry list of any other “sponsors” for his novels.
For those of us who have great gear (Arcteryx for me), great firearms (HK for me), and enjoy great coffee (Black Rifle for me too), the sell job throughout the storyline gets old.
Can’t put the book down
A page turner. There is no other way to describe this book.
Best of the series to date
Whirlwind ride. Big twist at the end.
