Dead Shot (Kyle Swanson Sniper Series)

"Dead Shot" Hits the Bullseye!

In the sequel to last year's exciting "Kill Zone", former US Marine master sniper Kyle Swanson has recovered from his injuries and now functions as the President's secret weapon in the war against America's enemies, in this case a psychotic Islamic assassin and former sniper code-named Juba.

Juba's a formidable foe, as he's undergone the same training as Swanson, and is bent on unleashing a new and terrifying chemical WMD against the Western world to enrich himself while assuaging his own psychotic obsessions. To defeat him, Swanson must penetrate the defenses of radical Islam, in Iran and Europe, as well as in the United States itself.

Fast-paced, tightly plotted, with engaging and memorable characters, authors Coughlin and Davis prove that "Kill Zone" was no flash in the pan. Kyle Swanson's a hero for the 21st Century in the mold of Mitch Rapp and Bob Lee Swagger.

This is a terrific novel. I eagerly await the next installment.

Jack Coughlin, Donald A. Davis - What a team!

This is not my first book by this team. It makes me glad that Jack Coughlin was and is on our team. We need more like him. His matter of fact approach to a world totally foreign to the majority of the United States and in fact the majority of the world is at once comfortable and disturbing. It is a fact that we live in a volatile and violent world and just knowing that there are individuals out there who are willing and able to protect not only us but our interests in world peace is greatly appreciated. My twelve year old grandson asked if he could read Mr. Coughlin's first book, Shooter, and my answer was decidedly yes. I look forward to new adventures and would recommend this book to anyone seeking a 'good read'.

"Dead Shot" is Dead On for Action

In the sequel to "Kill Zone", "Dead shot", a sniper named Kyle Swanson, with the aid of the special-ops unit Task Force Trident try to save the world from a new WMD. Swanson is "dead" by all accounts and records, and now serves the military as a secret weapon that cannot be touched by the law. Juba, a British trained sniper who secretly serves under al Qaeda, is now trying to get the WMD into use. After Juba tests the weapon at a British royal wedding, it becomes Swanson's top priority to neutralize Juba and the WMD. All of which leads up to a climactic ending which leaves the reader without many loose ends that need to be answered. This novel is a good read for a rainy day and provides the reader with hours of enjoyment. The reader should be warned though, that this book does contain a lot of violence which may make it less appealing to some. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book as it immerses the reader into the mindset of a sniper. The only real negative comment about this book was that some of the parts of the plot were unbelievable. Not having read "Kill Zone", a lot of information was lost about the history of some of the characters, so I recommend that anyone interested should read "Kill Zone" first. I give this book a 4.5/5 as it was a great read that consistently held my interest, but did become a little hard to believe in parts.

I can't get enough of this writing team. The characters are great! I found it hard to put down and was a bit disappointed when it was done. Wanted it to go on and on. I would definitely recommend this book to friend.

Excellent read

Realistic . Buy it.

Good Read

I like reading books like this. It has a good solid plot to it, even though it might not be the best. It is filled with twists and turns, and some out of the box thinking in regards to the main villans in the plot. The book reads fairly easily, which is something of a lost form nowdays with so many people trying to write stories like these in a Tom Clancy-esq style, where there is too much emphasis on small details (Don't get me wrong, I like Tom's books too). There are some things about this book that are not correct in terms of being true to the real world military and strategies, but it is well within reason as a whole. I whole heartedly suggest that you read "Kill Zone" before this book, because without that, you can not understand who certain characters are and their tendancies, as well as some of the history that carries over into this story.

All in all, I recommend this book for about anyone.

A hero to root for

I read this book after my boyfriend and I must say that I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. The characters are believable, the story caught my attention and had me cheering for the good guys and waiting for the bad guys to get their due.

This book is trash.

Unrealistic plot, lots of sub-plots and explanations that don't fit with the original plot. As a former military member I was disappointed. There are way to many non-fiction sniper books out there to spend your time reading this fictitious garbage. Save your money. Look elsewhere for a good book.
