Commander James Reece in the adrenaline-pumping thriller The Terminal List. Ready to get lost in a complex world of espionage, revenge, and daring heroics? You’ve come to the right place!
“Chris Pratt returns to the small screen this week in the brand new thriller The Terminal List – in which he takes on the role of Lt. Commander James Reece, a man whose life becomes endangered shortly after his entire platoon of Navy SEALs is ambushed.”
Jack Carr: The Mastermind Behind The Terminal List
The soul of this electrifying show traces back to novelist Jack Carr, the creator of James Reece, a Navy SEAL turned vigilante avenger. Carr’s original work serves as the backbone of the new series.
“The character is the creation of writer Jack Carr, whose novel of the same name inspired the series.”
For those left craving for more, there’s a juicy tidbit—four additional books have been penned in this high-octane series, extending the exploits of our charismatic protagonist.
What Makes James Reece Tick?
We’ve seen superheroes and we’ve seen antiheroes, but James Reece is something else altogether—a Navy SEAL with a grudge, a lethal skill set, and absolutely nothing left to lose.
“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.”
