Publisher's Summary
But with consummate psychological skill, a shadowy military organization seduces Bob into leaving his beloved Arkansas hills for one last mission for his country, unaware until too late that the game is rigged.
The assassination plot is executed to perfection until Bob Lee Swagger, alleged lone gunman, comes out of the operation alive, the target of a nationwide manhunt, with his only allies a woman he just met and a discredited FBI agent.
Now Bob is on the run, using his lethal skills once more - but this time, to track down the men who set him up and to stop a dark conspiracy aimed at the very heart of America.

"Magnificent"
Not a fan of abridged versions but I decided to give this one a try, and I am very glad I did, the story was brilliant and the narrator did a wonderful job, didn’t stop listening to it until it was finished, just like a good book you can’t put down. I would recommend this production to everyone.

"The best of Bob Lee"
Sticking close to the real life character that Bob Lee was based on makes this the best of the series. This is a great read.

I like to read just about everything. I especially like to get lost in large series, like Robert Jordon's Wheel of Time or Diana Gabaldon's Highlander series. If anyone has suggestions of this type I'd sure like to hear from you.

"Point of Impact"
This is a really great book! The abridged version was done very nicely. However an unabridged reading would have been better. So many action scenes I enjoyed were not included.

Good story about the point of view of Bob Lee. Could have done without the music in the reading....

"Don't bother with the abridged version"
Would you listen to Point of Impact again? Why?Interesting story but this feels like an abridged version of an abridged version. Way too short. There are too many great books available to waste time with this extremely shortened story.
Have you listened to any of Beau Bridges’s other performances before? How does this one compare?1st time I've listened to a performance by Beau Bridges. He was excellent.

"Good Stuff"
Viet Nam war hero saves the day. I thought the story was very good...and Mr. Bridges made the book a fun listen. Didn't see the movie, but book was a good stand alone story. I am sure the movie had to make the hero contemporary. Recomended for the thriller fan.

"Excellent"
This story was great, none of the predictable story lines that you sometimes find in these kind of novels. The writer did a great job keeping you in suspense and the reader was a good match for the story.

I'm not very far into this book but the reader is poor. I'm not sure I will finish is and unfortunately may not look for any other books by this author. I'll continue to listen a bit longer hoping it improves.
