The Terminal List

Court Gentry's lone-wolf efficiency and unapologetic tactical realism made One Minute Out a relentless ride—now Jack Carr's The Terminal List delivers that same fury. A Navy SEAL's authentic military tradecraft meets a protagonist whose moral code cuts through corruption like a blade, offering high-octane retribution where graphic violence isn't gratuitous but essential to the cathartic justice you crave.

True Believer

Edge of Honor hooked you because Scot Harvath doesn't apologize for winning—he dismantles threats with tactical precision and American resolve, no committee meetings required. Jack Carr's True Believer delivers that same fusion of authentic special operations detail and breakneck momentum, where a lone operator faces contemporary enemies with the unyielding conviction Thor fans crave. This is mission-focused heroism that hits like controlled explosions, chapter after punchy chapter.
