The character is so realistic, that the government has censored parts of all three books. Like in the first two novels, Jack Carr's experience as a Navy SEAL adds a level of realism that many novels in this genre lack. Some of the parts of the novel take place in Siberia where it is clear the author did a lot of research. Much of the story takes place in either Montana or in Russia. The book moves forward James Reece's attempt to find and eliminate a traitorous CIA officer who set in motion many of the tragic events from True Believer and was also involved in the death of Reece's father. The novel also brings back reporter Katie Buranek who played a major part in The Terminal List but was largely absent from book two. James Reece is recovering from brain surgery in Montana with friend and fellow former SEAL Raife Hastings. Savage Son picks up where True Believer left off. Savage Son should give Jack Carr the level of recognition as writers like Vince Flynn, Brad Thor and Alex Berenson. This book and the potential of where the series is heading should put the character of James Reece on the level of other iconic characters of this genre such as Mack Bolan, the Rogue Warrior, Jack Ryan, Mitch Rapp, John Rain, Scott Horvath, and John Wells. Carr's James Reece, and Mark Greaney's Court Gentry (The Gray Man) are two of the most exciting new characters in thrillers today. This character is unique in this genre because of the level of realism Jack Carr brings to it. James Reece, the main character of the three books, like the author was a Navy SEAL. I ended up enjoying Terminal List so much that I excitedly gave my copy to a co-worker who enjoyed the book so much that he passed it on to a family member. When I read the back of the book, it sounded a like a generic special forces novel of which the genre is a bit flooded with, but when I saw author was a first time author who happened to have been a former Navy SEAL with 20 years of experience in the teams, I decided Terminal List might actually be different, fresh, and realistic so I picked up the paperback. I saw they had a couple of Mark Greaney's Gray Man novels, a series I had just started to get into, and a book called Terminal List by Jack Carr an author I had never heard of. I feel it is the best written of the three books and the end of Savage Son provides a sand box for James Reece and this series to continue to grow and expand in many potential directions.Ībout a year ago, while waiting for my wife to buy a box of 10,000 Q-Tips at our local Sam's Club, I decided to kill some time and check out the paperbacks. Fans of the first two books The Terminal List and True Believer and those who enjoy action packed novels are really going to love this entry into the series. Savage Son is an excellent third novel in the James Reece series by Jack Carr.
