The Reaper

Autobiography of One of the Deadliest Special Ops Snipers

De: Gary Brozek, Nicholas Irving

Narrado por: Jeff Gurner

The Instant New York Times Bestseller by Co-Star of Fox's American Grit and Legendary Ranger Nicholas Irving.

Groundbreaking, thrilling and revealing, The Reaper is the astonishing memoir of Special Operations Direct Action Sniper Nicholas Irving, the 3rd Ranger Battalion's deadliest sniper with 33 confirmed kills, though his remarkable career total, including probables, is unknown.

Irving shares the true story of his extraordinary military career, including his deployment to Afghanistan in the summer of 2009, when he set another record, this time for enemy kills on a single deployment. His teammates and chain of command labeled him "The Reaper," and his actions on the battlefield became the stuff of legend, culminating in an extraordinary face-off against an enemy sniper known simply as The Chechnian.

Irving's astonishing first-person account of his development into an expert assassin offers a fascinating and extremely rare view of special operations combat missions through the eyes of a Ranger sniper during the Global War on Terrorism. From the brotherhood and sacrifice of teammates in battle to the cold reality of taking a life to protect another, no other book dives so deep inside the life of an Army sniper on point.

Also available: Reaper: Ghost Target and Reaper: Threat Zero, the first books in Nicholas Irving's thrilling series that Brad Thor calls "one hell of a read"!

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A gripping account from a man whose lethal aim took out 33 Taliban fighters on one deployment, a record.” —New York Daily News

“Gripping.... Irving's book is a focused, fast-paced tale that, like Irving, never loses sense of its mission.” —San Diego Union Tribune

“This gritty, unapologetic look into the life of a special operations soldier recounts both harrowing and heartfelt tales from the on-the-job experiences of Irving...This account is perhaps not for the faint of heart, but it is sure to be intriguing for those who are made of less squeamish stuff.” —Library Journal

Roger that

Great story. Irv keeps it real. I especially enjoyed how he wove in stories of Jessica, growing up and training. The training stories were great and made me smile as some reminded me of my own back in the 1980s. Sounds like he needs to hang on to Jessica, she's a keeper

Was very good

I drive truck so I can always find time to listen. This book kept me hooked but did seem a tiny bit repetitive through each chapter in the sense of same stories just different variations.

Great story, but "The Operator" is better.

Great book, but I did feel that the new book "The Operator" was more engaging

true story from an everyday guy

Loved it. It was a true story of an everyday, down to earth guy. Definetly would like to listen too it a second time.

Great Read!

I had never heard of The Reaper before having a subscription to Audible. The stories of Nicholas Irving and his teams are thrilling and exciting. The performance of the verbal reader kept me "in it."

great!

loved hearing a real world account of what our soldiers have to deal with overseas, true hero's proud of them

From the soldier's perspective.

A difficult subject well handled but I sense there was a lot more left untold. Enjoyable read and an excellent narration.

amazing!!!! great story loved every minute of it.

very interesting and informational of what's its really like out there and the hell our soldiers go through for us... God bless America

Great Ranger Stories!

I've read numerous books on GWOT and this ranks near the top in terms of content, experiences, and the author's style. Great book.

Moving and enlightening

I found this to be a unique insight into the mind and experiences of one of our modern military.
