Former Navy SEAL Jack Carr has conquered the world of fiction — his #1 New York Times bestselling series continues with his sixth book, "Only the Dead," which will be published in May 2023.

He's also succeeded on TV. The Amazon Prime adaptation of his first book, "The Terminal List," starring Chris Pratt, was the second most streamed TV series this past summer, behind only "Stranger Things," his publisher said. 

The TV series has been renewed for a second season based on his second book "True Believer" and a spinoff series.

The first, "Targeted: The 1983 Beirut Barracks Bombing," is scheduled to be published in the fall of 2024 by Atria Books/Emily Bestler Books, a division of Simon & Schuster. 

The nonfiction series will investigate terrorist attacks that changed the course of history.

"Those who have read my James Reece ‘Terminal List’ series or who follow me on social media know the importance I place on history, particularly the history of warfare, terrorism, insurgencies, counterinsurgencies and special operations," Carr told Fox News Digital in emailed comments.

The new nonfiction book, out October 2024, is based on thousands of pages "of military and political records, personal letters and more than 50 hours of interviews with survivors."

"My upcoming book, ‘Targeted: The 1983 Beirut Barracks Bombing,’ explores this seminal terrorist attack — the effects of which still reverberate through U.S. foreign policy decisions today."

In that attack, terrorists drove a truck packed with explosives into the U.S. Marine Corps barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, killing 241 U.S. service members — 220 Marines, 18 sailors, and three soldiers — and badly wounding many others.

Carr, a former Navy SEAL sniper, led special operations teams as a team leader, platoon commander, troop commander and task unit commander across more than 20 years in Naval Special Warfare. 

Said historian James M. Scott, a Pulitzer Prize finalist and the author of the books "Black Snow," "Rampage" and "Target Tokyo," "I am thrilled to team up with America’s most talented thriller writer, Jack Carr, for a deep-dive into the origins of our nation’s four-decade battle against terrorism."

Scott went on in a statement, "'Targeted' combines Jack’s propulsive storytelling with the harrowing real-life accounts of survivors of the 1983 terrorist bombing of American peacekeepers in Beirut."

"No one has yet written a definitive history of the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing."

He said it's based on thousands of pages "of military and political records, personal letters, and more than 50 hours of interviews with survivors."
