Publisher's summary

From the coauthor of the number-one New York Times best-selling American Sniper, this "inspired by true events" thriller follows one of America’s most lethal snipers as he leads the rescue of a downed female Special Ops pilot.

The President of the United States can’t decide how to respond to a classified video showing the Taliban’s brutal treatment of their captive - a female helicopter pilot of the Army’s elite Special Operations Aviation Regiment. Afraid that a botched rescue will further destabilize foreign policy and end his presidency, the Commander-in-Chief falters. But when the Special Ops community learns that one of their own is being tortured and will almost certainly be killed, no executive order will stop them from attempting a rescue mission.

In direct defiance of the President’s orders, Navy SEAL sniper Gil Shannon launches an audacious mission with the support of elite soldiers and an enigmatic government figure, to infiltrate the tribal faction holding the captured pilot. A pulse-pounding battle ensues, pitching the entire force of the Taliban against the fearless and heroic American sniper. Packed with blistering action and real-life combat scenes, Sniper Elite: One Way Trip will pin you to the edge of your seat until the very last sentence.

Great book

Great book, and action packed. Great story that pulls you into what a lot of our Spec Ops folks probably see on a daily basis
with the situation in Afghanistan.

Really hope it becomes a movie

Great story full of suspense and action. While a bit unrealistic at times making the main character somewhat of a superhero (punished meets captain america). I would still highly recommend this book to all spec ops book fans.

One of the best in this genre

Less cliche than most, well written, even some character development. The gunfights are exciting and don’t require complete suspension of reality(but that’s not my area of expertise). Medical stuff definitely needed some better consultation. (That is my area of expertise). I bought two more “sniper wire novels as soon as this was finished.

One of the best

Was not sure about this book however having read books by both authors I purchased and have certainly not regretted.

This book kept me listening. Great tension, great characters and great story.

I certainly stayed eagerly listening. Well done.

Narration is very good and engaging, easy to listen too and enjoy
