Jack Carr joins Raymond Arroyo to discuss his explosive new thriller The Fourth Option, revealing the Western inspirations behind the story, why he chose New Orleans as the backdrop for corruption and revenge, and how the book introduces a very different kind of hero from James Reece in The Terminal List universe.

Carr also weighs in on the growing conflict with Iran, what America’s enemies learned from Afghanistan, and why he believes the U.S. must define victory clearly. Plus, the former Navy SEAL commander opens up about faith, storytelling, military culture, and why fiction still matters in a distracted digital age.
