From New York Times bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winner Stephen Hunter comes a thriller that plunges deep into the world of high-tech national security, the hearts ...
Several months after the betrayal of a covert operation in Afghanistan leaves a Marine sniper team dead, the target of that mission, top Taliban commander Ibrahim Zarzi (aka "the Beheader"), changes sides, in bestseller Hunter's stellar seventh Bob Lee Swagger thriller (after I, Sniper). Zarzi travels to the U.S., where he meets the president and key congressional leaders and offers the State Department its best chance at achieving a stable, reliable Afghan government. Meanwhile, a Marine radio operator receives a message from Gunnery Sgt. Ray Cruz (aka "the Cruise Missile"), one of the snipers believed to have been killed. Cruz has returned stateside to continue the mission. The FBI calls in retired Marine sniper ace Bob Lee Swagger to help find Cruz before he blows off the Beheader's head, but someone is following "Bob the Nailer" to get to Cruz first. Solid characterization complements the tight, fast-moving plot. (Jan.)

Dead Zero (Bob Lee Swagger Series #7)
THIS is what I was wanting/hoping for from I, Sniper: a return to the twisty and deadly world that Bob Lee is supposed to inhabit, not all that samurai/NASCAR shit. I was a bit dubious of the inclusion of a new protagonist in Ray Cruz, but he turned out to be likable and ruthlessly efficient (if he doesn't have as much of those two qualities of Bob Lee, who can blame him? I only grow to like the old man more and more as the series progresses.) We have action here in the states and Afghanistan, and both are riveting, unendingly tense, and excellently written. I really loved the part where one of the characters ruminates, mid-firefight, how much it reminds him of the awe-inspiring shootout scene from Heat (if you like crime/action movies and haven't seen that one, you must.) If it can't hang with the classic canon of the first three Bob Lee novels, it's still damn close.
