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.

outstanding

offers a "seat of your pants' type experience. humbling to know there are folks out there that do so much for those they will never know. Equally, the frustration of narcissistic representatives that have no knowledge, yet are called upon to serve as the "leaders" .

Worth a listen...

This was a great story with excellent narration. I will be looking for the next book.

Better the 2nd time.

It's been a few years since I first listened and I remembered the story line but after follow up books it was fun to go back to where it all started.
Great listen from one of the best in the business. Thank you Mr. Hutchison.

Excellent

You won’t regret listening to this action packed book.
Finally some quality writing after so much bland wannabe writing from people who would do better writing nursery tales.
McEwen does it again. You know you are in for another awesome book with every prologue of his.

Great Listen

The storyline was interesting and the narrations make it all come together. In the realm of audible it was an ear burner, hard to put down. Great job!

If your military. … Read this….

Totally enjoyed this book. Awesome look into our military…. As to what drives them and the comradeship we veterans feel

loved it!

I have many books similar. have listened to book six times and won't be the last time

AMAZING!!!

I loved the novel, I’m not a big fan of those military TV shows so I was skeptical to listen to this book. However I was hooked by chapter 5. I greatly appreciate the respect given between and to the military characters in the novel.

if you like military action look no further.

Its not the best military fiction out there but it sure was good entertainment. A story with a solid main character with a mission you could get behind.

Very Good

I don’t usually do reviews and I am not usually interested in this genre. I will say that this is a great book. I am not an American Sniper fan, real guy or book, but this book broke through that bias and won me over!
