Publisher's Summary

He was one the best Marine snipers in Vietnam. Today, 20 years later, disgruntled hero of an unheroic war, all Bob Lee Swagger wants is to be left alone and to leave the killing behind.

But with consummate psychological skill, a shadowy military organization seduces Bob into leaving his beloved Arkansas hills for one last mission for his country, unaware until too late that the game is rigged.

The assassination plot is executed to perfection until Bob Lee Swagger, alleged lone gunman, comes out of the operation alive, the target of a nationwide manhunt, with his only allies a woman he just met and a discredited FBI agent.

Now Bob is on the run, using his lethal skills once more - but this time, to track down the men who set him up and to stop a dark conspiracy aimed at the very heart of America.

What the critics say

"Hunter passes almost everybody else in the thriller-writing trade as if they were standing still." (New York Daily News)
"Tautly written...the plot makes a number of turns before swooping to a conclusion where patriotism and personal integrity triumph." (Library Journal)

Not the actual book

Only a maybe 40% reading of the book. Lots of parts not included. A disappointing rendition.

The one what started it all!!

I first read this story about 15 years ago. When I saw that it was available as an Audible Audiobook, I snapped it up. With Beau Bridges doing the reading and Stephen Hunter having done the writing, it combines for a powerful and enjoyable experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience!!

way to much of the book missing.

I am a huge fan of the Bob Lee Sagger novels.
This was my first purchase of Audible.
I was saddened to find the book was missing some of the major plot devices.
I enjoyed listening to the audiobook but kept waiting for some of the book to happen and it disn't.
