TRUE BELIEVER
Jack Carr
ββββ
Β
James Reece is waiting. Waiting for the brain tumour to end his life and reunite him with his wife and daughter. In the yacht he had liberated from one of those responsible for their deaths, he crosses the Atlantic to visit a friend, and stay away from the authorities. He was the most wanted man in the United States after all.
But he can't stay hidden for long and is soon given the choice to carry out a mission for the CIA, or watch everyone who has helped him, go to jail. The sweetener is the knowledge that the brain tumour can be removed. Or at least once the mission is complete. Reece soon finds himself working alongside an old friend and former Navy SEAL, chasing international terrorists, in an attempt to prevent an awful attack which would have global implications.
True Believer is book two in the James Reece series, and while it performs very well as a standalone novel, you should really read book one The Terminal List, or many details will fly right over your head. Jack Carr's second novel is every bit as action packed as its predecessor, and his experiences as a former Navy SEAL adds credibility to every shot fired, explosion, and every moment of combat.
James Reece is a likeable person who would definitely be on my list of friends to call in times of insurmountable trouble. Many of those he works with could end up on that list too , while many of the other characters were simply vile and worthy of nothing more than loathing.
To sum up, this is a very well written thriller, and a worthy sequel to The Terminal List. I recommend anyone to read this book as part of the series. I have given True Believer four stars.

The second book in the series, this book will blow you away. James Reece is once again at the sharp end. Jack Carr certainly knows how to keep the reader enthralled, I certainly did not want to put this book down, action and excitement galore. The detail of the story also helps you to imagine whatβs happening. The characters portrayed are also very easy Imagine.
This is an exceptional piece of writing and you definitely will not be disappointed.
I received this book as part of the ARC team and wanted to write an honest review.
Thank you to Jack Carr, publisher Simon & Schuster UK and #NetGalley.
Another absolute belter of a book.
Pacy, exciting, thrilling and a hero that captures your heart like no other.
A little more 'military' than the debut novel it follows but just enough to keep you informed without being bored.
Loved it and am looking out for the third in the series already.
Many thanks
This is the second book in the series featuring James Reece, a former Navy Seal hiding in the dark depths of Mozambique. His government needs him, and the CIA finds him and he has to save the world of from cold and lethal terrorists. No review will do this book enough justice, you really need to enjoy it for yourself! Recommended for anyone who loves a great thriller!
Where to start on this marathon thriller by Jack Carr? I am a bit late to the game on Jack Carr's books seeing as Terminal List has passed me by but was happy to hop on True Believer when I saw it displayed on NetGalley - I was only too thrilled to be given the ARC for the June 2020 release I am guessing for the UK?
This works well as a standalone but I am guessing it helps to have read Terminal List beforehand as I feel much of the back story as to who James Reece really is.
Reece has escaped the throes of the US after the events from Terminal List and has resided in Mozambique with old family friends in attempt to recuperate and refocus his efforts after the trauma he has endured thus far. His anti-poaching efforts coupled with his SEAL background puts him up and running in an instant and motivates the team around him with his new methods. However, in saving his colleague's life from poachers he comes on to the US radar once again.
The story itself is fantastic and being a Vince Flynn fan I found a lot of similarities. Jack Carr brings a lot to the table for the thriller genre and I am very excited to read more of his work.
