About Danger Close:
In each episode of Danger Close, an IRONCLAD original, presented by SIG Sauer, Jack Carr sits down with fellow SEALs, tactical experts, thinkers, celebrities and authors to give fans and readers a close-up look at the world that inspired his critically-acclaimed novels. The first three novels (The Terminal List, True Believer, Savage Son) will soon be followed by a brand-new installment, The Devil’s Hand, this spring. The action series follows the adventures of James Reece, a Navy SEAL who becomes embroiled in the world of conspiracies, international espionage, and revenge.
The Danger Close podcast launch comes as Amazon Studios begins pre-production work on an adaptation of The Terminal List starring Chris Pratt (Parks and Recreation, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Avengers: Endgame) as James Reece. The series will be directed by acclaimed Hollywood action director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, Shooter, The Equalizer, Southpaw, Olympus Has Fallen, Brooklyn’s Finest).
Produced in partnership with IRONCLAD, the podcast features conversations with renowned authors (David Morrel, Don Bentley, Mark Greaney), former military officials and special operators (Anthony Tata, Jason Gardner, Andrew Arrabito), and well-known personalities and celebrities.
Presented by SIG Sauer.
