I love Jack Carr as an author, but I’m not a fan of the negative partisan politics, the ugly racial divide and the pandemic made into a political issue that has engulfed our country right now.

Carr’s fourth installment felt less about James Reese and more about Carr’s personal political soap box.

We get enough of that already from all the different broadcast media outlets and social media. This book felt like it was written in an effort to ‘own the Libs” and how one side of the political aisle handled the current pandemic. Yes I know the book is a political action thriller and that Jack Carr is a Conservative, but this one was a little too much for a nonpartisan, moderate military brat who wants to be entertained when I read and not read the author’s personal political jabs whether I agree with them or not. But what really bothered me about this particular book was Carr’s constant disparaging comments and ‘right-wing’ political jabs throughout an otherwise well written and superbly researched story. Don’t get me wrong, “The Devil’s Hand” ‘overall’ was a really good story and Jack Carr has quickly become one of the best storytellers in the action thriller genre. This one was difficult! I loved all three of Jack Carr’s previous books but this one was way too over the top. With Jack Carr’s signature “absolutely intense” (Chuck Norris) writing and “gripping authenticity” (The Real Book Spy), The Devil’s Hand is a riveting and timely thriller that will leave you gasping for breath.Book Review - I was extremely torn in writing this review but I have always tried to be honest and fair with all my reviews.
