A Navy SEAL has nothing left to live for and everything to kill for
after he discovers that the American government is behind the deaths of
his team in this ripped-from-the-headlines political thriller
that is “so powerful, so pulse-pounding, so well-written—rarely do you
read a debut novel this damn good” (Brad Thor, #1 New York Times bestselling author).On
his last combat deployment, Lieutenant Commander James Reece’s entire
team was killed in a catastrophic ambush. 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. Now, with no family and free from
the military’s command structure, Reece applies the lessons that he’s
learned in over a decade of constant warfare toward avenging the deaths
of his family and teammates. With breathless pacing and relentless
suspense, Reece ruthlessly targets his enemies in the upper echelons of
power without regard for the laws of combat or the rule of law. “Told with a deft hand and a keen eye for detail, The Terminal List…is explosive and riveting” (Kevin Maurer, co-author of No East Day) and is perfect for fans of Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, Stephen Hunter, and Nelson DeMille. **Review

An intelligent and authoritative history of opium—a drug that has both healed and harmed since the beginning of civilization.Poppy tears, opium, heroin, fentanyl: humankind has been in thrall to the "Milk of Paradise" for millennia. The latex of papaver somniferum is a bringer of sleep, of pleasurable lethargy, of relief from pain—and hugely addictive. A commodity without rival, it is renewable, easy to extract, transport, and refine, and subject to an insatiable global demand.No other substance in the world is as simple to produce or as profitable. It is the basis of a gargantuan industry built upon a shady underworld, but ultimately it is an agricultural product that lives many lives before it reaches the branded blister packet, the intravenous drip, or the scorched and filthy spoon.
