Jack Carr spent a lot of time in the library growing up, was a SEAL for 20 years (enlisted and then officer, did it right), and his first book series of political thrillers about James Reece that have been on the New York Times best sellers. Good story lines, adds a of of true history into his books, and goes into the gear used. Puts a lot of his experiences in his book, one being what Ross Perot did to help his family and special needs child.
He does a lot of "what would I do" as far as terrorist tactics and how they would attack the USA which is often scary. Chris Pratt has the movie rights to the book series and is in the process of doing an Amazon series.
Posting this in the political forum because, well, after you read the books you will understand. A lot of the characters are based on real people, including politicians, so see if you can figure out who they are. A woman who is Secretary of Defense running for president with a husband who is a well known cheater, doesn't take much for that one.
Terminal list - book about revenge, government conspiracy and what someone with nothing left to live for other than revenge will do
True Believer - good part of the book is about Reece working in Africa as a wildlife conservationist and was written so well it makes you want that part to continue more. Story about how their is always another true believer willing to kill for their cause. Goes into the CIA overseas
Savage Son - Hints of "The Most Dangerous Game" and the quote by Hemingway , "There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, will never care for anything else thereafter". Lots about Russia on this one, including human trafficking, their work in Africa, and how the government and mafia overlap.
Devil's Hand - What our enemies are learning watching us at continuous war for 20 years and ways to attack us. Was writing a book about a bioweapon and then Covid hit so he added that in the story. Lots of truth in this book, including what lead to 9/11 and a country that was heavily involved but not mentioned.
