“Get ready for a double-dose of action, because Cry Havoc, the next hard-hitting thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jack Carr, will hit bookstores mid 2025.”

In a bit of a twist, though some of his readers may have seen it coming, Jack Carr’s next novel will not be a James Reece book.

Reece—who was first introduced in The Terminal List (2018) and has gone on to star in seven novels to date, including this year’s Red Sky Mourning, and has been portrayed on the screen by Chris Pratt in the Prime Video-produced The Terminal List show—may be the most popular badass in print today. Not since the days of prime Tom Clancy have we seen an author reach celebrity status quite like Carr, whose relevance in today’s pop culture is, arguably, as great as it is in the literary world, where he’s been absolutely dominating bestseller lists the last few years.

To be clear, many writers are beloved, but there’s nothing like a new Jack Carr book hitting stores.

From sellout crowds across the country to high-profile appearances on The Joe Rogan Experience and The Pat McAfee Show, to name a few, readers flock to bookstores to see what Carr has dreamed up for James Reece to deal with in his latest adventure. But now, Carr will go back in time for a different kind of book, though readers need not worry too much about James Reece, whose future was left a little up in the air at the end of Red Sky Mourning, as Cry Havoc will actually star his father, Tom Reece.
