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 read....

Clancyesque, but with a bit more Grit. very focused on individual characters and not as much big picture. you will get to know the main characters very well. lots of good action and very well presented written portrails of the action.

Extremely interesting

My job allows me to work with my earbuds in for 8-12 hours a day so I've listened to at least a thousand books. Many many times I disappointed in the writing, the reader and the overall plot of the book. Not the case with Sniper Elite. I felt this was a very interesting story and the narrator was amazing. I kept thinking about the people and their experiences even after the story was over.

Solid book

Riveting story to the end with great surprises that doesn’t relent even when the last 5 minutes should be the sunset ride of silence.

Absolutely Positively Magnificent

narrator is fabulous. this author is a revelation. plot and characters beautifully realized. this is the second book I've read of his one right after the other. I only wish he'd written more books. only two more to go.

Well DAMN!!! This is one of the best books ….

This is one of the best books Ive listened to in this particular genre. I was locked in instantly. The author really painted the scenes you felt as if you were right there. My heart was pounding at one point I found myself biting my nails and I don’t even do that. The narrator was simply AMAZING. Is this book worth the credit….. HELL YEA!!! You won’t regret it!!!!
