Cameron Hanes discovered his true passion for bowhunting when he was twenty. Inspired by the physical challenges of stalking elk in the Oregon wilderness—traversing mountainous terrain, braving erratic weather, and evading his quarry’s even more dangerous predators—he began an ever-evolving journey of self-improvement. To become the best bowhunter of wild elk, to the caliber he believed he could be, Cam realized he would need more than archery skills.

Already cited on the floor of Congress and discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon as a book all Americans should read, One Second After is the story of a war scenario that could become all too terrifyingly real. Based upon a real weapon - the Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) - which may already be in the hands of our enemies, it is a truly realistic look at the awesome power of a weapon that can destroy the entire United States.

Harwood has resigned himself to slowly picking up the pieces of his life.

Publisher's Summary
New York Times and USA Today Best-Selling Author
A Navy SEAL has nothing left to live for and everything to kill for after he discovers that the American government is behind the deaths of his team in this ripped-from-the-headlines political thriller.
On his last combat deployment, Lieutenant Commander James Reece's entire team was killed in a catastrophic ambush that also claimed the lives of the aircrew sent in to rescue them. But when those dearest to him are murdered on the day of his homecoming, Reece discovers that this was not an act of war by a foreign enemy but a conspiracy that runs to the highest levels of government.
Now, with no family and free from the military's command structure, Reece applies the lessons that he's learned in over a decade of constant warfare toward avenging the deaths of his family and teammates. With breathless pacing and relentless suspense, Reece ruthlessly targets his enemies in the upper echelons of power without regard for the laws of combat or the rule of law.
An intoxicating thriller that cautions against the seduction of absolute power and those who would do anything to achieve it, The Terminal List is perfect for fans of Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, Stephen Hunter, and Nelson DeMille.
Critic Reviews
"Double the trouble, twice the action, and quadruple the enjoyment. Careful while reading this one, it could leave a mark." (Steve Berry, New York Times best-selling author of The Last Order)

Violent and Politically Biased
Mr. Carr spins a great story. I just found the whole premise of the story unfathomable. He wants us to believe that a wide spread conspiracy to kill the best fighting soldiers on the planet could be developed and carried out by high ranking officials in our country. I know this is a work of fiction, but I have a problem with the premise of the story. Mr. Carr also wants to add his political agenda to the book. All of the villains are "liberal democrats".

the terminal list is terminally bad
Mr. Carr clearly knows his military tactics and his weapons. Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to construct a believable story or creat believable characters. The villains are less than one-dimensional; there only function is to be set up as clay pigeon targets for the hero to knock down and kill. Even by the standards of military thrillers, the plot is completely unbelievable. To say more would give away spoilers. I'm going to return this book and I urge you not to buy it. I hope Carr's second book is better; I'll wait for a trusted friend to recommend it. The performance was excellent.

Yeah, I've bought the next James Reece Book!
Totally improbable? Would have been if the 2019 mess of revelations in Washington weren't pouring out all over us from 24/7 cable news. So? So it wasn't hard to suspend disbelief and understand the meaning of distilled revenge that Reece havoc's upon the no-gre-zone baddies who've done him totally wrong. This is a sort of catharsis book... The chance for readers to fantasize a tad of purgation (if that's a word?).
With the presently unending spew of hatred we're getting sprayed into our ears and eyes, well there's solace in these moments that Carr's filled which at least have periods at the end of the final paragraphs. Or realize that in fiction as opposed to reality there can be final paragraphs with an entirely new day to follow.
So... I'm off to read 'True Believer' and escape from the reality of our politically poisoned moment. Yay! Oh, and Ray Porter does his normally terrific job of bringing the ensemble cast to life.

Make way for Jack Carr!!!!
I listened to the sample for this book and thought the writing sounded good. Combine that with Ray Porter's wonderful narration and I thought this could be a winner.
So, I paid my credit and took a chance. The author's forward made me think this might be something on the order of a Gentry book. Instead, this is more like the early Dewey Andreas or Pike Logan characters but the writing is better. The protagonist's (James Reese) team is ambushed in Afghanistan. While recuperating he and two other members are diagnosed with brain tumors. The doctor who diagnosed gives Reese a card and tells him to contact him back in the states. When Reese arrives back in the US he finds another team member had "committed suicide" but Reese thinks it's murder. He leaves his friend's house and heads for his own home. When he arrives he finds his wife and daughter supposedly murdered by a gang who broke into their home. He calls the doctor whose card he was given and he's told the Dr was killed during an 'incident " in Afghanistan. Everyone he has involvement with is dying... prepare yourself, this is good!
Carr starts out saying that this is a novel of revenge.
The writing superb. The story is coherent and if I didn't know better I would think this was an author who's been writing for a long time.
This book has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!
If you found this review helpful please indicate so.

The perfect espionage thriller!
The Terminal List had an extraordinary quantity and quality of publicity by the publisher prior to release which persuaded me to pre-order it. All of the great publicity was for a new author. Nevertheless, it far exceeds my expectations. Author and former Navy SEAL Jack Carr has written an espionage thriller that is good as the first and later efforts of Vince Flynn and Ben Coes. Just get it and listen to the must-read The Terminal List! As is normal and usual for him Ray Porter narrates flawlessly.

Not very creative
I guess audible doesn't always suggest books that hit the mark for me. I think the book was suggested because I really enjoy listening to Ray Porter. He again was great in narrating this book.
What I didn't care for was how simple the story was. It's basically just revenge porn. A lot of cliche characters and unfortunately not a lot of imaginative situations. It was like listening to a game of tee-ball. The characters were placed in a situation and then the objective was met. The author was more interested in describing the weapons then developing any sense of suspense.
If it wasn't for the long road trip that I was on, I probably wouldn't have finished the book. It didn't keep my attention very well and made the trip seem longer. That sounds harsh. It isn't horrible. It's just not very engaging.

Fantasic Military Thriller
This book, as many of the comments have already suggested, is well written. The language was easy to understand, even amidst the military jargon that was heavily used, which greatly added to the intricacy of the book. This is not something the book should be criticised for, because it was a perfect mix of technical and laymen terms that just about anyone could enjoy reading. The interaction between Reece and his friends throughout the story was so brilliantly written. It captured the human element of a guys-type of friendship so well, I couldn’t help but laugh as I was reminded of the joking conversation I have had with my friends before.
Carr does an excellent job of depicting the characters right down to every single article of clothing worn and does not shy away from simply mentioning the brands of certain items in order to fully describe to the reader what is pictured.
Ultimately the single word that comes to mind while reading this book is authentic. Obviously the story is fictional, and that is not what I am referring to, but the perspective of Reece in the story clearly indicates the author has had significant first hand experience that is reflective in the story. For that reason, this work stands out strongly as a respectable military/thriller book.
One minor criticism I encountered was that I would occasionally lose track of which character was saying what during some of the dialogue. It was not difficult to simply back track and continue with the conversations in the book. This admittedly may be entirely my fault for not paying close enough attention as I had thought I needed to.
The book is just as much an action intense thriller as it is a constant reminder of importance of those whom you truly hold close in life. Not just your parents, spouse and children, although that is a significant aspect, but your closest friends, and even acquaintances who quickly become friends and allies under trying circumstances. Not to mention the kinds of people you come across that you find yourself thinking, as Clint Smith so eloquently stated, “there are some people who just need to be shot.”
The end of the book, particularly the final chapter and epilogue, left me feeling deeply conflicted about the way things ended. At the same time, it was exactly what makes a story of retribution come to completion. I found myself moved by the urgency to see justice followed through with in a fantastic action-filled story.
Needless to say, this book was excellent and I greatly look forward to Mr. Carr’s next work. I also wanted to express my gratitude to Mr. Carr for his military service to the United States.
Ray Porter was outstanding with the delivery of the story

Pretty good.
Story was ok if a little heavy on the overwrought machismo (what is it with Americans? - they can't just be highly trained soldiers they have to be 'elite warriors' - it always sounds a bit fragile ego to me - like bin men who insist on being called 'sanitary disposal engineers') .. I thought the narrator was very good though and really brought the story to life.

Not the finished article
The author has a good core idea of what he’s trying to achieve. The main character is well flushed out and can easily be expanded upon in future books. Similarly, the personal knowledge of the author’s military background is apparent. However, sometimes he falls into a lazy streak in the text. I.e., Over-focusing on small details that doesn’t help the flow of the text, but rather acts as an stopping block; the exaggeration of the villains motives which makes them flat; and apparent personal biases in the text. A better editor would have observed these problems, adjusted them and improved the end result. Similar problems are present in both Brad Thor and Vince Flynn’s early work, so the author can improve in the future.

Mediocre
A reasonably well crafted thriller, but not for you if constant American Exceptionalism will rankle. The author too hard to show off knowledge of Military, guns etc. These details do not make the narrative richer, merely clunky.

Good storytelling but extremely racist.
The book is a product of the man. It tells a rip roaring tale, informed by his expertise as a Seal. His attitudes to the sanctity of life and horribly jingoistic politics probably reflect those of the force.
There were some improbable parts, but generally entertaining, if one overlooks the complete disregard for Muslims and anyone with a centre/centre left leaning!

It opens with a ridiculous ‘only America has freedom’ introduction from the author and is littered with MAGA inspired bizarre political hot takes, hypocrisy and thinly veiled racism.
The author clearly knows his stuff and the character is likeable…this could have been great, but isn’t and I can’t imagine I’ll be listening to the second outing.

Poor wtiting with political messages
The story in itself has been told and retold a billion times. It's not bad but it's also not original. The prose is poor but if you like the military theme it can be enjoyed.
What kept pissing me off is the author's too obvious political views hidden in messages here and there against liberals and leftists. I couldn't care less of what his opinions are. It's about time americans understand there is a wider political spectrum to the narrow US political schema. Believe it or not in Europe a left political party is not widely considered pure evil.
The reader is not bad tbh, is able to pull different voices for different characters.
2/5 being generous.

My 1st audiobook - fantastic choice!
As my first audiobook, I have to say I was impressed. I’d already started the Terminal List is paperback version (got maybe 40% through it) so knew I’d enjoy the story. Very Reacher-esque I think.
As for the audiobook format, I thought it was really good. The narrator did really well, my only gripe would be that I thought a female VA could have done the female voices. Other than that, I loved it - onto the next one!

Action porn for white republicans
European review.
Writing style is like a Trump insurrectionist writes Team America with a veiled anti Clinton Vibe.
Physically cringe worthy. References fox news as one of the only trustworthy organisations. Says it all really. Equality is portrayed as a weakness.
Blames democratica for basically all of America's problem. This character would have been in the rotunda on the 6th.
The guy who wrote this better be careful he doesnt fall off that high horse.
Murcia!!!!!!!

Make America Great Again!
I selected this book because Ray Porter has read some great books that I really enjoyed. With The Terminal List however, his talent is wasted. Simple plot where every goody is completely good and every baddy is totally evil and probably a democrat. No character development whatsoever and far-right political views weaved into the text. A thinly veiled republican propoganda piece that stinks to high heaven. Should come with a free MAGA cap.

Couldn't stop listening to it
Quite an interesting story and the narration was flawless! Although a little predictable and obvious, the action packed exploits of James Reece to avenge his team and family are quite thrilling. The author's experience as a SEAL are clearly noticeable from the writing and description of tactics & equipment.

Ruined by it's politics
Average thriller that will appeal to Trumpublicans. It feels like it was written by Tucker Carlson. Every villain is a latte sipping corrupt liberal who only cares about money and plotting to bang their young waitress, while guilty of murdering Americas finest soldiers, and women and children. If you love Trump and hate Hilary then this is right up your alley.

Gripping story start to finish
Beautifully tied up at the end .. I can't wait to see where and how the author brings James Reece back to shore and gives him a second chance at life.

Surprisingly great
I was a little sceptical of this book, especially being an Australian, but I was enthralled from beginning to end. Appreciated all the finer details throughout and looking forward to diving into the rest of the series.

A great book and considering the lack of experience of the writer is a brilliant piece of literature.
Truly a great read/listen, easy to get addicted to, definitely worth the purchase.
Anyone that writes this off as a political propaganda piece, is quite clearly a mentally deficient moron lacking the ability to see the world through any other lens than a political one.
I would absolutely recommend to a friend.
