This event will also be streamed live on Zoom. More information to come.

Former U.S. Navy SEAL Jack Carr is the #1 New York Times best-selling author of tense military and political thrillers. His debut novel, 2018’s The Terminal List, was adapted into the 2022 #1 Amazon Prime Video series starring Hollywood star Chris Pratt as Navy SEAL James Reece.

Carr’s new novel, Only the Dead, will be released in April and continues the James Reece saga, as he is on a mission to take down a global conspiracy that seems ripped from modern headlines. Carr retired from active military duty in 2016, and is also the host of the popular Danger Close Podcast.

NOTE: In lieu of a book signing, attendees will have the opportunity to enter a photo line after the program to have a professional photo taken with the author. Signed books will be available for purchase at the event, courtesy of Beaverdale Books.
