    This guy is an inspiration. Have seen several interviews and he always seems like the same genuine person whoever he’s talking too and that he’s enjoying every bit of what he’s doing. First I’ve heard about his son’s condition, prayers for them and can definitely understand that driving him to do what he does. All the best to him. Also, where’s that GoPro footage?? lol. Great interview 👍
  • Meet him at a book signing. He couldn’t have been a nicer guy. Humble and generous with his time. The real deal.

    Just watched the Terminal List and it is a 10 out of 10 show. I was hooked right after the first episode, could not stop watching ...binge watched the entire thing over 2 days. Incredible and hoping we get season 2.

    I didn't know about his son. I have even more respect for him than I had earlier - he is a hero and a truly noble man.
  • I had the privilege of meeting Jack Carr at the Sig Sauer Freedom Days in Phoenix this May and he was so humbled and generous to sign All 5 of his books I purchased and stood for a photo of the two of us as he did for every one in line looking forward to the next book & Series two on Amazon ❤
  • Watched the terminal list. Just finished the 4th book in the series. Awesome. Awesome. I hope this continues. I know that people on the other side of the political aisle may not appreciate his take. But it’s right up my alley. And good for you you Mr. Carr , doing this for your son. I love what he said about not burdening his other children. How can you not love any stories about Navy Seals???
  • @Necromonger69
    The show already has 1.6 billion minutes in streaming views. Do you know why? No woke garbage. Great show
  • @basedviet
    Jack is the real deal. A great father, writer, warrior and patriot who deserves all the success in the world
  • I’ve waded through many cheesy Navy SEAL or special ops style novels, with only a few not disappointing. I am 2 books into Jack Carr’s novels and they are GREAT!

    Give em a try.

    I had no idea a character in his book had a son with the medical condition/history that Jack’s real life son has. Wow, even more likable.
  • Great interview on Jack Carr. He definitely has a calling as writer and family's man who loves his wife and kids especially the middle child with medical needs.
  • More than an American hero, Jack Carr emulates how men should use their God-given gifts for their family, their country and friends. Thank you, Jack Carr!

    "Take out the camera."

    Let's not show that shot. Surely that info was on the memory card.

    That aside, I love Jack's books. The TV series was awesome and I can't wait for new books and the 2nd season to arrive.

    edit
    Wrote this comment before seeing the whole interview. Then heard about his son. Wow! That hit me right in the feels. What an amazing act of love to do what he's doing.
    Best of luck, Jack and family.

    Meanwhile I´m at book 5 of 5 and all of them get a 10 out of 10 - such an intense and dense writing! Love them!

    To all those “critics” who trashed “The Terminal List” need to go in front of the mirror and punch themselves in the face. It’s ridiculous their reasons for not liking it. I could see if the performances or story wasn’t good. But it’s phenomenal. I don’t get it.
  • @theplourde
    I’ve never seen Jack talk without a hat. Woah
  • Jack is such a good dude, humble, down to earth and a phenomenal author.
