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.

I like it.

I always like these books. Might be corny or predictable but always good for me.

Juvenile plot devices but still fun.

I occasionally got slapped in the face by the author with some unbelievably contrived response or event the author used to advance his chosen storyline. If you don’t look too far under the surface, or expect a modicum of reality in all the events, or consistency in personalities, it is a good fun escapist listen. The performance is outstanding. I recommend it as good escapism. It is a little below the Gray Man books by Mark Greaney, but of the same ilk.

Exceptional

It was definitely a page turner. I can't wait for the sequel to this book. I'd like to see Gil and Marie work things out.

Buy it Now. You won't be sorry

Excellent writing an the performance is flawless. This book is edgy and probably one of the best I've heard in almost 10 years !!!

Very intense

loved this book start to finish. Can't wait to pick up the fourth book. A real thriller.

One of the best I have heard in a long time

Lots of action and kept me interested the entire time. Can't wait to start on the next book
