Here is the synopsis for the bestselling 2018 novel by Carr:

With nothing left to lose, Reece directs the lessons that he’s learned in over a decade of constant warfare towards revenge, ruthlessly targeting his enemies without regard for the laws of combat or the rule of law.

On deployment in Afghanistan, Lieutenant Commander James Reece’s entire team is killed in a catastrophic ambush. But the deaths don’t stop there, and Reece soon discovers that this was not an act of war by a foreign enemy but a conspiracy that runs to the highest levels of government.

The Terminal List will be a buzzy return to the small screen for Pratt, who was launched to fame by the beloved NBC comedy Parks and Recreation before finding superstardom with the Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World films. But this role is a far cry from the lovable doofuses Pratt used to play on TV — this is a shiny, tough role made for the Hollywood leading man that Pratt has become, playing to the star’s action chops. However, The Terminal List will be more than just a vanity project for Pratt — the series is bringing in veterans and their families into multiple aspects of the series production to help with authenticity, including hiring veterans for half of the writing staff.
