"Intricate, well-crafted...Coughlin vividly [portays] the ethos of combat soldiers." --Publishers Weekly "The cat-and-mouse game that ensues between the two adversaries will have readers frantically turning pages. Series fans will enjoy the roller-coaster ride, and military-fiction buffs new to the series will find this episode a great place to start." --Booklist "The pages fly by as Swanson must face his most personal mission yet. The military tactics take a backseat to the characters, creating a strong and compelling narrative. Coughlin and Davis have concocted another winner that should only encourage a growing readership." --Booklist on Clean Kill: A Sniper Novel "Former Marine Coughlin and bestseller Davis combine a well-paced, credible plot with a realistic portrayal of modern combat...The climax...will leave readers cheering." --Publishers Weekly on Clean Kill: A Sniper Novel "Compelling." --Publishers Weekly on Dead Shot: A Sniper Novel "The [plot] propels the pages forward, but this one isn't all about action: Swanson proves a surprisingly complex character...Dead Shot suggest[s] a hardware-heavy story that only an armed- services veteran could love. Surprisingly, it's completely the opposite. Readers will be compelled...and will look forward to another Swanson adventure." --Bookliston Dead Shot: A Sniper Novel "Stunning action, excellent tradecraft, insider politics, and the ring of truth. Just about perfect." --Lee Child on Kill Zone: A Sniper Novel "Tight, suspenseful...Here's hoping this is the first of many Swanson novels." --Booklist on Kill Zone: A Sniper Novel "A renowned sniper, Coughlin recounts battlefield action with considerable energy." --The Washington Post on Kill Zone: A Sniper Novel "The action reaches a furious pitch." --Publishers Weekly on Kill Zone: A Sniper Novel "One of the best snipers in the Marine Corps, perhaps the very best. When I asked one of his commanders about his skills, the commander smiled and said, 'I'm just glad he's on our side.'" --Peter Maass, war-correspondent and bestselling author of Love Thy Neighbor on Shooter "The combat narratives here recount battlefield action with considerable energy . . . A renowned sniper, Coughlin is less concerned with his tally than with the human values of comradeship and love." --The Washington Post on Shooter "Coughlin is a sniper, perhaps one of the most respected and feared in the Corps, and his memoir, Shooter, offers a uniquely intimate look into the life of one trained to live in the shadows . . . some of the most poignant action ever recorded in a modern Marine memoir." --Seapower magazine on Shooter
