INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY BESTSELLER “A great book…it’s fcking riveting!” –Joe Rogan ”Take my word for it, James Reece is one rowdy motherf**er. Get ready!”–Chris Pratt, star of The Terminal List, coming to Amazon Prime “A rare gut-punch writer, full of grit and insight, who we will be happily reading for years to come.” –Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times bestselling author of … happily reading for years to come.” –Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times bestselling author of the Orphan X series
In this third high-octane thriller in the “seriously good” (Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author) Terminal List series, former Navy SEAL James Reece must infiltrate the Russian mafia and turn the hunters into the hunted.
Deep in the wilds of Siberia, a woman is on the run, pursued by a man harboring secrets–a man intent on killing her.
A traitorous CIA officer has found refuge with the Russian mafia with designs on ensuring a certain former Navy SEAL sniper is put in the ground.
Half a world away, James Reece is recovering from brain surgery in the Montana wilderness, slowly putting his life back together with the help of investigative journalist Katie Buranek and his longtime friend and SEAL teammate Raife Hastings. Unbeknownst to them, the Russian mafia has set their sights on Reece in a deadly game of cat and mouse.
In his most visceral and heart-pounding thriller yet, Jack Carr explores the darkest instincts of humanity through the eyes of a man who has seen both the best and the worst of it.

If you want action, you’ve got it. A fast-paced distraction from our current reality.
All the bells and whistles you need with a thriller by one who knows.
Magnificent care to detail in describing weapons, ballistics, and battle. Great build-up and release of tension in the plot. I loved the strategic point-of-view! I know my share of rifles and hunting, but the main characters showed such skill and patience: in stalking a mortal enemy or a bull deer. This was a fascinating read.
The main characters, Reece and Raife, are well-rounded ex-SEALS, brothers in arms, with a broad set of combat and hunting skills. Both know that staying on guard at all times is a necessity.
The minor characters: too much background info dumped onto the pages to my liking, but I’m an impatient reader, like a rodent on amphetamine. I removed a half star for that. Otherwise, this book is worth five stars on any day.
You can tell the writer was a professional soldier in the special forces and Jack Carr moves among the operators of the different intelligence communities like a shark in the ocean. I thoroughly enjoyed this aspect. As a writer of spy thrillers, I learned a lot, once again from a great writer.
The villain, Alexandr Zharkov is a psychopath with interesting hobbies, like hunting humans and strangling women in bed. The beginning of the book starts with him, and what a start! His background in both organized crime and at the Russian SVR makes him a prominent opponent. I wouldn’t want to bounce into this beast in a dark alley.
This book is smooth action, the political assassinations, and black ops believable to the last red dot from a laser sight centering on the forehead of a president. The passages in the heart of darkness, Africa, haunted me a long time after I finished reading. I have a new respect for ants and chili peppers.
I recommend this book to any lover of thrillers. If you like military thrillers, go for Savage Son (a clever title).
The third Jack Carr book is savagely good. Absorbing, great action sequences, and some very ruthless villains. Another reason why Jack is one of my favourite authors.
Absolutely fantastic! Savage Son is savagely good, and puts Jack Carr at the very top of the thriller genre.
Jack Carr is back and at the top of his game in Savage Son, a heart pounding, sleep robbing, edge of your seat thriller.
With his third book in the James Reece series, Savage Son, Jack Carr HALO jumps the reader into that most dangerous game: man hunting man. With technical ferocity and devastating action sequences, Carr writes both from the gut and a seemingly infinite reservoir of knowledge in the methods of human combat. Loved it!
Oliver North is a traitor and a felon did not read the book
Not a bad mix of the Most Dangerous Game, and a decent predictable Tom Clancy knockoff storyline. It is getting predictable for the crooked politician and bad CIA spook, and throw in a couple of Bratva mafia types as villains and there is your storyline. I liked the creativity of the much-deserved deaths of the villains, that is what keeps me coming back for more from this series. I liked the subtle nod to Louis L’Amour, (The Last Breed), towards the end of the novel. Overall not a bad but yet predictable read for the third novel in this series.
Bad guys die! Better people prevail!! What could be better???
Jack Carr has earned the position of automatic purchase from me. Best new thriller writer in years. Can’t wait till the next book drops!
I could not put this novel down! From start to finish I was on the edge of my seat— and I’m not a big reader. Jack intimate knowledge of weapons and gear makes the characters so realistic! I’ve recommended to several friends, and they all loved it! Patiently waiting for Jack’s new novel!
Great book, could not put it down
In his 3rd book of the James Reece series, Jack Carr excellently wraps up what you think is the last mission, yet leaves you ready for more. Savage Son is a gripping thriller culminating James Reece’s final act to close the story, while navigating the odds and keeping you on the edge of your seat. I didn’t think Jack could top Terminal List or True Believer, but he did in the most amazing way. This 3rd entry makes you love James Reece even more. Jack Carr
Full of powerful energy and lots of bad guys biting the dust. Jack pulls no punches here, he just tells it like it really is!
It’s a great book! Very exciting, kept me on the edge of my seat. Jack Carr is on my list of must reads.
If you like a fresh approach to action with authentic details and a believable main character, these books are for you. I’m a fan.
Savage Son is amazing! This is the kind of book every author wished he could write… mind-blowingly good!
Jack Carr is the real deal! He employs his years of combat experience as a U.S. Navy SEAL to make Savage Son a masterfully told, heart thumping tale of modern conflict. Before you open the cover and start to read, get comfortable. You won’t want to move until you finish.
A badass, high velocity round of reading! The three parts of this masterfully crafted experience says it all — THE TRAP, THE STALK, THE KILL.
