The stack on Danreb's desk: Savage Son

What it tells you. Danreb works out of a cramped CIA office buried in paperwork, and in "Fathers and Sons," the season 2 finale, he's the one with the answers Reece has been chasing all season. Savage Son, Jack Carr's third Reece novel, is on his desk while he gives them. The pile across the desk reads like Carr's own reading list: Stephen Hunter's I, Sniper, a second Hunter spine we can't make out, and Vince Flynn's Total Power. Prime Video hasn't renewed the show for a third season yet. The prop department didn't wait.
