A well-written fiction that teaches me a lot about recent history. I took my time listening to this book and often got on Youtube to watch documentaries on events mentioned in the story like the 1983 Marine barracks bombing in Beirut that killed 241 American servicemen. I feel Carr writes from his experience with detail meticulously researched. In the Blood is an authentic and insanely good military-espionage thriller. Reece heads to Africa and the hunt begins.

After meeting with higher-ups in Langley, neither think that this attack is a coincidence. One of the victims is an acquaintance from time in Baghdad. James Reece is home at Montana ranch spending time with his girlfriend Katie and familylike neighbors, the Hastings when he heard about a missile attack on a passenger aircraft in Burkina Faso, Africa. In the Blood is filled with action that never lets up and the ending gave me goosies! Carr, a former Navy SEAL is a gifted storyteller. Jack Carr quickly became one of my favorite authors for a reason.
