Jack Carr knocks this one out of the park! Cry Havoc is an explosive and emotional thriller with elements of historical fiction that pulls no punches and leaves you shaken as the brutally unforgiving events of war unfold. It’s a masterclass in blending storytelling with real-life events, expertly blurring the lines between fact and fiction.
It’s 1968 and the Vietnam War rages on. The USS Pueblo has been captured by the North Koreans. The Soviets are supporting the North Vietnamese and recruiting spies everywhere. And Tom Reece is a Navy SEAL attached to a highly classified group named MACV-SOG, running operations across Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. And Tom is convinced there’s a leak that is giving the enemy key information that puts his team at risk every time they operate. Thrusting him into the middle of the action on multiple fronts that involve intelligence and military operations, all of which put those he cares about in harm’s way and could get him killed.
What makes Cry Havoc a special thriller is the amount of care Jack Carr put into crafting this compelling narrative. It’s obvious that an incredible amount of research was done to get every little detail exactly right, which serves to honor those brave men and women whose sacrifice and heroism inspired different parts of this story. Giving off a feeling that writing this book was much more than just writing a novel, rather it’s a deeply personal and important mission for Carr.
The result is a highly engaging saga that captures your attention and keeps you hooked throughout, turning you into an addict who can’t flip pages fast enough to get your next fix. It’s an emotional rollercoaster filled with moments that will make you gasp, exclaim expletives, fist pump and shed tears. Taking you from the jungle to the streets, waterways and hotels of a war-torn Vietnam to experience the conflict from different perspectives while you cheer on our heroes and pray for the demise of the enemy.
They say war is hell and in Cry Havoc you will see why that is, as you get a front row seat to the underworld of bloody combat operations.
