![]() When Reece partners up with a keen investigative journalist, they soon discover an experimental medical program being tested on SEALs, something that creates a great deal of animosity and is the likely cause of the tumour. Meanwhile, those in the highest levels of the US Administration have been trying to keep some of their most covert plans under wraps, but Reece knows too much and must be eliminated. ![]() ![]() With little left to do, he reports to his commanding officer and discovers that he is being blamed for the ambush. Arriving home to a ‘break-in gone wrong’ leaves his wife and young daughter dead, devastating Reece. Landing in Southern California, Reece puts the idea of the tumour out of his mind, wanting to see his family before anything else. Before he is shipped back, an army doctor notices a tumour in his brain, something about which Reece is completely baffled. Able to escape, Reece’s orders to return stateside cannot come soon enough. While serving as a Navy SEAL, James Reece watches much of his team die in an ambush ordered by a ruthless imam. Using elements of his past work experiences in the military, Carr creates and develops a wonderful character in James Reece, adding a thrilling adventure to propel the reader into the middle of something quite memorable. Having agreed to read this book on the recommendation of a friend, I was unsure what to expect from Jack Carr. ![]()
