"Coughlin and Davis' series only gets better with each installment...Kyle Swanson returns for his boldest and best adventure yet." --Booklist (starred review) "A definite winner for all fans of the military action thriller." --Booklist on RUNNING THE MAZE "Coughlin and Davis hit the action-adventure 10-ring again." --Kirkus Reviews on RUNNING THE MAZE "Former Marine sniper Coughlin stretches but does not strain credulity in this intricate story that aptly illustrates the maxim 'no plan survives contact with the enemy.'" --Publishers Weekly on RUNNING THE MAZE "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 "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 "Compelling." --Publishers Weekly on DEAD SHOT "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." --Booklist on DEAD SHOT "Stunning action, excellent tradecraft, insider politics, and the ring of truth. Just about perfect." --Lee Child on KILL ZONE "Tight, suspenseful...Here's hoping this is the first of many Swanson novels." --Booklist on KILL ZONE "The action reaches a furious pitch." --Publishers Weekly on KILL ZONE "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
