timely

great story and reader far exceptional... recommended to readers... great descriptions... good characters ... not quite run of the mill.

great listen!!

exciting story with plenty of action and suspence. Would recommend to anyone interested in a good exciting book.

Almost couldn't put it down!

Where does The Sniper and the Wolf rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Definitely in the top three of all the sniper-related novels I've read.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Sniper and the Wolf?

There's not "one" of them.. the book has too many in-the-moment character references between Gil and the Russian agent that are simply too "real" for fiction. It's as if the author lived the moments.

What about Brian Hutchison’s performance did you like?

Great grasp of the accents, which isn't always easy for narrators to do in books like this. The dialects ruin it sometimes. He did slip up a couple times, but not more than three or four in the whole book.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Not extreme, but it DID send me straight to Audible to download the next one minutes after finishing this one, so I'd call it a success!

Any additional comments?

Great characters and I like the in-depth development. I also really enjoy that the author doesn't waste too much time explaining every back story that's developed in previous books. Either you read them or you didn't. If you didn't, you should, because each one builds a little bit off the one before - not in major ways, but there are definitely relationship dynamics that would provide more enjoyment if you understood them.

Sniper 'find!'

This is an excellent read; the narrator is exactly right, and each important character is well developed- I cared about them. They were real to me. Scott McEwen and Thomas Koloniar are loaded with talent!
Worth every penny.

Pretty good book

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

It was pretty good.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I don't know that I had a favorite.

Which scene was your favorite?

I didn't have a favorite scene.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It was not that engrossing.

Any additional comments?

No.

Thrilling

I absolutely love this series. It keeps me captivated that I do not want to stop listening. Make sure to get the whole series.

accents not the greatest

great story great series. the performance is okay, it is just sometimes the Russians sounded Scottish and the Cubans sounded Russian. just figure that one out

Can't wait for the next in the series

This is a great continuation of the series the character in this audio are a good assortment of what is needed to stop terrorism and the Auther had given them all that is needed in the story line I have all 3 audios in the series and I can't wait for the next.

Keep up the good work.

The Best One Yet.

Non-stop action. Reminds me of the tv show 24. Just when you think the action is over it starts right back up again. Can't wait for the next one!

Hair, teeth and eyeballs!

This is the third one I’ve read in a row. Couldn’t put it down. Some of the best action I’ve ever read. Can’t wait to read the last of the series. McEwen is one of the best.
