Publisher Description
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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In Jack Carr’s pulse-pounding thriller, CIA operative James Reece is in custody after being framed for a presidential assassination he had nothing to do with. Now, Reece must figure out who wants him out of the game—and how it all connects to the global conspiracy his father died trying to uncover. Carr makes Reece’s quest feel psychologically intense in a way that goes beyond the wild shoot-outs and chase scenes, and he underscores the dire circumstances facing not just the hero but the world at large. Only the Dead is a thinking person’s political thriller that doesn’t skimp on furious action.
Customer Reviews
A Good Contiuation
Jack. You’ve written another well rounded book. This one seems a bit rushed and repetitive in its verbiage at times. It has set up some good possible future plots. Still one of my favorite series. Waiting for you to top your Magnum Opus - Savage Son, and to that I say “Best of luck”.
Looks like art is imitating life.
I enjoyed the Russian “sort of” history lessons. The closed cities information was especially interesting to me.
I didn’t enjoy all the gun ID information, it was too much and felt like fillers.
The book resembles the current state of the US October 2024.
Still it was an interesting read! Thank you.
