First Look: ‘Only the Dead’ - Danger Close with Jack Carr

As the release date for ONLY THE DEAD quickly approaches, Danger Close listeners get exclusive access to the Audiobook prologue read by Ray Porter.
From the publisher:
Navy SEAL James Reece faces a devastating global conspiracy in this high-adrenaline thriller that is ripped from the headlines-from the #1 New York Times bestselling author Jack Carr.
In 1980, a freshman congressman was gunned down in Rhode Island, sending shockwaves through Washington that are still reverberating over four decades later.
Now, with the world on the brink of war and a weakened United States facing rampant inflation, political division, and shocking assassinations, a secret cabal of global elites is ready to assume control. And with the world’s most dangerous man locked in solitary confinement, the conspirators believe the final obstacle to complete domination has been eliminated. They’re wrong.
From the firms of Wall Street to the corridors of power in Washington, DC, and Moscow, secrets from the past have the uncanny ability to rise to the surface in the present. With the odds stacked against him, James Reece is on a mission generations in the making. Unfortunately for his enemies, the former SEAL is not concerned with odds. He is on the warpath. And when James Reece picks up his tomahawk and sniper rifle, no one is out of range.
From “a master novelist” (Ballistic Magazine), Jack Carr brings his signature authenticity to “create an incredibly vivid, emotional, action-packed tapestry of carnage and death” (Coffee or Die Magazine) in a plot that just might predict the headlines of tomorrow.

Man, ray porters voice. I am going back to listen to ALL the others books AGAIN now. Chills. Could only listen to the first minute, can't spoil even another second before the whole book comes out!

[@MSB-rq9xd]

It doesn't really spoil anything - just makes ya hungrier !

[@coachjoe4523]

Mr. Carr, I have read each of your books (multiple times) and am a huge fan. Thank you for your efforts as each book is amazing.

[@SM68Pete]

I took a 30 min walk and listened to the podcast of this prologue .... excellent!!

[@jkarlsonsrv]

You should have Ray Porter as a guest on the podcast.

[@JoshuaL450]

Awesome work Jack! Thank you so much for letting us get an early listen! Ray is the perfect reader for your books. Keep up the good work and can not wait to read "Only the Dead" and the books after.

[@RichardBargloski]

Once again, I will buy the physical book AND the Audible version. So good!!! BZ

[@matthewturner7209]

I so excited about reading this novel can't wait.....keep up the great work Jack.....👍

[@yungskullivan]

Can’t wait until 5/16!! Jack, so glad you decided to go with Ray Porter again, he’s truly the GOAT

[@cameron3525]

Ive been re-reading the books because I can't wait for "Only The Dead"

[@ryanrichardson9915]

Ray Porter is so good!

[@Desertwarrior-bo4up]

This is going to be another great one!! This has me hook, line and sinker ready to for the release.

[@pauladaley3843]

Wow, Jack! Double Wow! I love it already! I should have known you would end the prologue with a cliffhanger! I love Ray Porters voice in the audio version which I have already ordered. I will order the hard back when you offer signed ones!

[@joesquillacioti4107]

Pre-order Done! Thanks for the peek! Awesome as usual!

[@TheAucbared]

I've got a 6hr drive in a week. Time to go through these books again

[@raider75alljesus]

I just got done listening to all the books at work over the last two weeks like I do at the end/beginning of the year and now I’m going to have to do it again before the new one comes out.

[@devildocmom7050]

See! This is exactly why I never read or listen to books in advance...now I have to wait and wait and wait for the rest. Only because it is you, Jack Carr, did I listen. Ray Porter is wonderful.

[@lukecunningham6729]

live/lived in RI for 19 years, as soon as I heard Newport my eyes lit up, we have a large navy presense there and its awesome to see it being incorporated in the next book! RI so small were usually overlooked.

[@jonathanrogers9961]

Already got it on pre-order on audible. Looking forward to it!

[@jimpiepenbrink946]

Can't wait to get this! Being a New Englander, I love the connection. The beginning eerily reminds me of the Kennedy lore.

[@teresastewart1148]

Can not wait for the book and audible. So excited! And thanks for the prologue

[@zibabird]

Thank you! Shared.

[@NateTrucker92]

My god...that was awesome Jack.....I'm definitely pre-ordering.....Ray Porter does such a fantastic job narrating, I think I need to listen to all the books again to get geared up for this one.

[@jeremyzentveld5672]

S O G. Three letters is all I needed to hear to be as excited as ever for Only The Dead

[@patmccullough1851]

Hi Jack, can't wait to get the book... I recently found your podcast and I'm hooked. Listening to your podcast has become a regular part of my morning workout. I have a question... What is the story of the Parker Brothers shotgun on your wall? I have one that looks identical to yours. Just curious... Keep up the great work and thanks for your service.

[@patrickhuot001]

Can’t wait for “Only The Dead” to be released as a hardcover book! “In The Blood” had the mother of all cliffhangers in a thriller series!

[@scottirons8635]

DAAAAAAMN...that was awesome! Can't wait for my book to get here.

[@bendavis855]

I am really looking forward to this book

[@alpha51omega38]

Thanks Jack.. Can't wait for the book and now I can skip ahead and get a faster start into the meat of the book with this preview. Almost makes me want to try 'books' on CD' but I more enjoy having a hardcover in my hand and pen to take notes inside the back pages as I read. Thanks for the 'tease'.

[@MBowler]

Already preordered.

[@tigerlily3058]

I can't wait!! Have all your signed books for something to read when TSHTF. I have read them all twice, I love the facts and info on weapons. Thank you so much for your service and amazing books

[@jayraymond9707]

As much as I appreciate this, you can’t do this to us! 😂 I can’t wait for the new book.

[@abethornton5963]

I am reading, listening, through the whole series in preparation for the new book, ray is great! Just finished listening to the Sons of Valor 2, sons of valor 3, and only the dead it's shaping up to be a good month! Now if only my cz-p09 and Mossberg mc2c could arrive. . . Jack, does it help you in some way for people to pre-order the books, I use Audible? Thanks for the preview!

[@joshualarkin747]

I read “In the Blood” between yesterday and today…. It was so freaking good and can’t wait to get the next book

[@dpdog1]

Waiting with baited breath!

[@SilasBLAC]

I ordered a few months ago.

[@brownmht]

Looks like another bravo zulu is in order, sir. Keep knocking them outta the park!

[@AverageGIJoeOutdoors]

Can't wait for Amazon to get off it's duff and announce another season with Chris Pratt as James Reese.......... CAN"T WAIT !!!!!

[@lisahughes3207]

Ooohhh..can't wait to read this!! Hey!! Is that one of those SEAL CO2 ballistic knives I see on the shelf over your left shoulder? Sweet!! 😀 I admire your hatchets and just found out they have an 'AxeThrowing' place in my city!! Ladies night, LOL!!

[@sandraa.lelacheur3001]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@ravin747]

Jack has a very vivid imagination

[@Addmoreboost]

Damnnn, that whole time devolping those two characters just to have them get a couple bullets. 😅

[@tylerderosier357]

The Church committee coming up just as it has been mentioned a ton in real life news lately, not to mention the timeliness of the other book plots. Yeah, I hope Jack is a time traveler. The alternative is just sad and a little scary. Either way, stoked for this book!

[@jeffmertens9790]

You make Vince Flynn proud! Only one criticism....you need to write faster!!!

[@rajbanwait325]

Alice in Wonderland...
