I, SNIPER: It takes a seasoned killer...
Four famed '60s radicals are gunned down at long range by a sniper. All
the evidence--timeline, ballistics, forensics, motive, means, and
opportunity--points to Marine war hero Carl Hitchcock. Even his suicide.
The case is almost too perfect.
...to hunt one.
Recruited by the FBI to examine the data, retired Marine sharpshooter
Bob Lee Swagger penetrates the new technology of the secretive sniper
world to unravel a sophisticated conspiracy run by his most ruthless
adversary yet--a marksman whose keen intellect and pinpoint accuracy
rival his own. But when the enemy and his deadly henchmen mistake Bob
for the hunted, it's clear that some situations call for a good man with
a gun...and the guts to use it.
DEAD ZERO: A marine sniper team on a mission in tribal territories
on the Afghan-Pakistan border, Whiskey 2-2 is ambushed by professionals
using the latest high-tech shooting gear. Badly wounded, the team's sole
survivor, Gunnery Sergeant Ray Cruz, aka "the Cruise Missile," is
determined to finish his job. He almost succeeds when a mystery blast
terminates his enterprise, leaving a thirty-foot crater where a building
used to be--and where Sergeant Cruz was meant to be hiding.
Months pass. Ray's target, an Afghan warlord named Ibrahim Zarzi,
sometimes called "The Beheader," becomes an American asset in the region
and beyond, beloved by State, the Administration, and the Agency. He
arrives in Washington for consecration as Our Man in Kabul.
And that brings Ray Cruz out of hiding.
