The Real Book Spy Review:
Jack Carr Takes the Biggest Swing of His Career with The Fourth Option
#1 New York Times bestselling author Jack Carr never misses—and this time, he doesn’t just raise the stakes . . . he burns the whole system down.
Set outside his mega-bestselling James Reece universe, Carr, who by all accounts has proven to be atop the food chain of today’s modern thrillersphere, brings on his first co-author, fellow New York Times bestseller M.P. Woodward (Tom Clancy’s The Coldest War, etc.), to introduce a brand new hero in former Navy SEAL and CIA ground branch operative Chris Walker—a character very much cut from the same cloth as Reece, but battling a whole different set of demons.
The story still hits with the force of the The Terminal List series, but in a lot of ways, The Fourth Option punches a little deeper…
“If it doesn’t make you uncomfortable, you probably weren’t paying attention.”
-The Real Book Spy
Bottom line:
Some thrillers entertain. This one asks a question you won’t be able to shake, and if it doesn’t make you uncomfortably, you probably weren’t paying attention.
Pre-order with confidence, then clear your schedule and don’t plan anything until you’ve turned the final page. The Fourth Option is Jack Carr evolving as a storyteller, taking bigger risks, asking harder questions, and proving once again why he’s one of the most important voices in publishing today.
