Only the Dead: A Thriller

Written by Jack Carr

Narrated by Ray Porter

Long-buried secrets. A devastating global conspiracy. And only one man who can stop it: Navy SEAL James Reece. From the “seriously good” (Lee Child) #1 New York Times bestselling author, Jack Carr.

In 1980, a freshman congressman was gunned down in Rhode Island, sending shockwaves through Washington that are still reverberating over four decades later.

Now, with the world on the brink of war and a weakened United States facing rampant inflation, political division, and shocking assassinations, a secret cabal of global elites is ready to assume control. And with the world’s most dangerous man locked in solitary confinement, the conspirators believe the final obstacle to complete domination has been eliminated. They’re wrong.

From the firms of Wall Street to the corridors of power in Washington, DC, and Moscow, secrets from the past have the uncanny ability to rise to the surface in the present.

With the odds stacked against him, James Reece is on a mission generations in the making. Unfortunately for his enemies, the former SEAL is not concerned with odds. He is on the warpath. And when James Reece picks up his tomahawk and sniper rifle, no one is out of range.

From “a master novelist” (Ballistic Magazine), “quintessential hero James Reece is exactly what’s needed in today’s chaotic political milieu” (K.J. Howe, author of Skyjack).

Reviews for Only the Dead

[Aubrey Duvall · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Another fantastic read by Jack Carr! I really enjoy these books. They really get you thinking about current events and also bring a sense of peace to me that I’m not a crazy conspiracy theorist hearing someone else has come to many of the same conclusions as I have. There were a few inconsistencies with firearms that took me off guard but nothing too big that it wasn’t a fun read.

Very entertaining, hard to pause will listen to it again

Pratt told no lies: the best of Carr's work thus far.

All 6 books are AMAZING!!! Jack Carr, we need more!!! Ray Porter nails this!

[Herb McSpadden · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Way too much of the authors political opinions and way too little action for a fictional action book. I've enjoyed his other books I've read but couldn't make it through this one. Maybe it eventually gets good, but I'm out.

[Colton Harding · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book is absolutely amazing. My new favorite in the series (thus far)! The amount of research and political/governmental information really adds to the story. Jack knows what he’s doing and it is a fun ride.
