James Reece, the thriller gives us an action-packed ride piloted by an unreliable protagonist. Prime Video’s splashy A-list show The Terminal List is based on Jack Carr’s novel of the same name. It might just be rooted in Washington, D.C., itself. And that conspiracy might not be traced to a foreign capital. There is a conspiracy afoot: Reece is sure of it. But with some help with his friend, Ben, and perhaps a little work by an investigative journalist named Katie, he’s discovered his memory isn’t the only faulty element in play.

Yes, he’ll acknowledge that his memory is not to be wholly trusted. Some are beginning to wonder whether, in his unbalanced state of mind, whether Reece might’ve killed them himself.īut not Reece. When he gets home, Reece finds his wife and daughter lying on the kitchen floor, dead.

He submits to a brain scan, hoping for a little medical clarity. Why, Reece could swear that he and Boozer were sitting in a bar after the authorities say Boozer died. He remembers events differently than what the evidence shows. After suffering a concussion during the ill-fated mission, the commander’s memories aren’t what they could be. But Reece has his doubts about himself, too. He shot himself, they say, with his own 9mm gun. By the time it was all over, Reece’s 12-man SEAL squad was down to two-himself and a guy nicknamed Boozer. The bad guys stormed the catacombs in force. Opportunities like this don’t come around very often.īut as they skulked in the crypts below the guy’s compound, everything went south. They knew where he was, knew they could get him. Just a few weeks before, Reece and his team were preparing to take out one of the worst hombres on the international stage: a chemical weapons expert in cahoots with Iran. Getting someone else to believe him, though … now there’s the challenge. His mental issues have nothing to do with the huge conspiracy surrounding Lt. He’ll slowly peel through his memories to discern which ones are accurate … and which ones are not. He’ll find out who betrayed his SEAL team in a deadly mission. James Reece isn’t quite sure who they are, just yet.
