Red Sky Mourning

A Thriller

By: Jack Carr

Narrated by: Ray Porter

With the walls closing in, Navy SEAL sniper James Reece is on a race to dismantle a conspiracy that has forced America to her knees in the latest high-octane thriller that seems ripped from the headlines from the “hottest author on the thriller scene today” (The Real Book Spy), #1 New York Times bestseller Jack Carr.

You think you know James Reece. Think again.

A storm is on the horizon. America’s days are numbered. A Chinese submarine has gone rogue and is navigating towards the continental United States, putting its nuclear missiles within striking distance of the West Coast.

A rising Silicon Valley tech mogul with unknown allegiances is at the forefront of a revolution in quantum computing and Artificial Intelligence.

A politician controlled by a foreign power is a breath away from the Oval Office.

Three seemingly disconnected events are on a collision course to ignite a power grab unlike anything the world has ever seen.

The country’s only hope is a quantum computer that has gone dark, retreating to the deepest levels of the internet, learning at a rate inconceivable at her inception. But during her time in hiding, she has done more than learn. She has become a weapon. She is now positioned to act as either the country’s greatest savior or its worst enemy. She is known as “Alice” and her only connection to the outside world is to a former Navy SEAL sniper named James Reece who has left the violence of his past life behind.

Will there be blood?

Count on it!

Will the forces that threaten to destroy the United States be enough to light the fuse of Reece’s resurrection? From “master novelist” (Ballistic magazine) Jack Carr comes his most intense thriller to date, pressing “emotional buttons that other writers wouldn’t dare explore” (The Real Book Spy).

Boom!

Another giant win by Jack Carr! His books are always worth the time they take to read and or listen to!

WOW!

There is good, and then there is scary awesome amazing good. Jack Carr's latest installment in the James Reece series firmly belongs in the latter category. Having faithfully followed each book in the series, I can confidently say this is my favorite.

What makes this book truly stand out is its unnerving sense of realism. Carr masterfully blurs the line between fiction and reality, creating a narrative that feels alarmingly close to our current world. The plot's direction concerning the geopolitical landscape and the behavior of certain nations is chillingly plausible, making the story engaging and thought-provoking.

James Reece, as always, is a compelling protagonist—resourceful, relentless, and deeply human. The action sequences are meticulously crafted, and the tension is palpable throughout the book. Carr's military background and expertise shine through, adding a layer of authenticity that few authors in the genre can match.

If you are looking for a gripping thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat while also making you reflect on the state of the world, this is the book for you. Do yourself a favor and read this book; you will not be sorry.

Reality

Loved this book, might be my favorite so far in the series. Can’t wait to see what Reece does next

I am invested in the Novels but…

I'm invested in the series and will continue to buy the books, but the stories are becoming bland. This one, in particular, had less action than previous novels and was overly technical or descriptive in areas that didn't seem important. Overall, I still like it, but I expected more.

Another Great James Reece Thriller!

Jack Carr does a tremendous job incorporating just enough facts and details specific to geopolitics, current events, and military/ weapons expertise to pull the reader/ listener even further into the story. Now the wait starts for the next one, but may just go back and re-read them all again…

Closer to reality

So many episodes closely parallel what is happening in our world or what people worldwide perceive to be taking place.

keeps getting better

Jack Carr is masterful in this genre he somehow brings to life everything I like about shooter thrillers with nothing I don't.

Jack Carr is the heavyweight champion!

Love everything! I honestly can’t think of one thing I did not like in this book starts off a little slow like all Jack Carr books, but it ends with a bang!

Best one yet

As always Jack covers all the characters well. Reese is always the tortured sole. Can’t wait for next one.

Perfection

I have listened to every book in this series and they are all equally amazing in their own right. This book somehow took it to the next level. Jack takes you on an action packed journey full of every emotion a person can feel. He masterfully connects you to each character, making you understand their complexities all while both loving and hating them. Ray Porter brings this book to life with his impeccable accents, pronunciations, and voice inflections. The accuracy and details are astonishing. All be it fiction, the research and possibility of these events occurring are not that far fetched. Thank you Jack and Ray for the escape into James Reece’s amazing world!
