> "Your boyfriend killed forty-four men today, honey…" Payne had to laugh. Swagger wasn’t good, he was beyond good. He was so fucking good it was scary. He could hear the fear in Shreck’s voice. Forty-four men dead, including nine of his best guys who’d climbed aboard a chopper in an attempt to get some firepower on Bob from a new angle, and had been rewarded with a flaming death. ( )

Well told story, strong and interesting main character, and good if twisty plot. Closest comparison I could make to this would be the Reacher series. Ex military, just wants to do his own thing, no one will leave him in peace, and somehow he keeps stumbling across malevolently evil people. Once involved, he has to see a thing through and deliver justice. One of these books actually has another character describe swagger as a righteous killer or something similar.

Everything has a sniper angle - long range hidden shooting, planning, and counters to the same - and the limited number of people who can reliably make really long shots is a significant plot point.

The story is well told, moves quickly, and I really enjoyed this one. ( )

This is on DVD under the title "The Shooter". I own it and watch it often and I would give this movie a 5 star plus rating any day. it's exciting with more action than than you can imagine. Maybe this is why the book for me only got a 4 star rating...that excitement and action just didn't come off the page like it did on the screen...still it is a good read about a hero that got a raw deal from the people that he went to war for. It is based around a complex plot but it doesn't matter if you read the book or watch the DVD...it is a fantastic story that will bring tears to your eyes and goose-bumps to your flesh. ( )

Not my usual cup of tea but I was convinced to read this thriller (too much gun and war stuff) and am I ever glad I was. Really good story. ( )
