Dead Shot

A Sniper Novel

De: Jack Coughlin, Donald A. Davis

Narrado por: Luke Daniels

In this follow-up to the highly successful Kill Zone, former Marine sniper Kyle Swanson faces his most deadly enemy yet, a legendary enemy sniper working with a fringe Islamic organization that has created a terrifying new weapon of mass destruction

In Baghdad's Green Zone, an Iraqi scientist is murdered just before he is to reveal the monstrous secret that Saddam Hussein took to his grave: the Palace of Death, home to a chemical weapon that Islamic militants quietly have been developing and whose formula is nearly complete. The assassination is the work of a mysterious sniper called Juba, who was originally trained by the British but now works with a twisted mastermind determined to wrest leadership of the terrorist world from Al Qaeda.
Kyle Swanson, once the top sniper in the Marine Corps, has become the key member in a secret special operations team known as Task Force Trident. When Juba tests the new weapon by killing hundreds of people at a British royal wedding in London, Swanson is assigned to hunt down his old special ops rival. The birth of a new reign of global terror can be stopped only by a confrontation between the two best snipers in the world, a duel in which the first shot wins. Usually.

Another Vince Flynn ??

Would you consider the audio edition of Dead Shot to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the book but the audio was great. I haven't enjoyed listening to book this much since Vince Flynn.

What does Donald A. Davis bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I wasn't too happy with his voice nor the voice of the main character. Made him sound dumb.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I enjoyed the entire book.

Any additional comments?

A must read/listen !!

Another good Kyle Swanson thriller

The story line was very entertaining. I wish it would’ve been a much much longer book. I do think the content and story wouldve allowed for more development, details and pages. Loved the entertainment and the book is a page turner. Thanks to the author and team for the effort!

Nearly Perfect

This story and writing has everything. Smartly written with good details of action, characters, battle field, weapons without going overboard. Good character development, you cheer & root for them. I love that Kyle is always cool under pressure, smart, thinking many moves ahead. I enjoyed the background and contextual information regarding why certain decisions where made or why things happened. Love the inclusion of a competent female officer (Sybel Summers) and the mature handling of the topic of females working side by side competently with other military personnel. The story is well told, moves along, has lots of action. There were two negatives and why it this book is only nearly perfect and not perfect. First is the unexplained 'capture' of Kyle. More than once the agents state that they caught him but how? One minute they are evacuating the area before the authorities arrive and the next they are tasering him. Doesn't make sense. The second is the ending with Juba (the epilogue) . I don't want to spoil it, but lets just say it is a bit cliche and I actually think it detracts from a nearly perfect story. I can't wait to listen to the next Kyle Swanson story.

Still question the use of Luke Daniels

Maybe my views are tainted by Daniels performance in the first book. However his voice kind of irritates me. The story is good. Daniels performance is better. That’s why I gave a three star review for performance because last time I gave him a two star.
