“A harsh, visceral, novel of conspiracy and betrayal . . . a distrubing mix that plays on our sense of history while at the same time it appeals to our darkest fantasies of rough justice.”—Chicago Tribune

The inspiration for the USA Network series Shooter

He was one the best Marine snipers in Vietnam. Today, twenty years later, disgruntled hero of an unheroic war, all Bob Lee Swagger wants 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, his only allies a woman he just met and a discredited FBI agent.

Now Bob Lee Swagger is on the run, using his lethal skills once more—but this time to track down the men who set him up and to break a dark conspiracy aimed at the very heart of America. Genre Fiction Military Suspense Thriller & Suspense

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.

way to much of the book missing.

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!!

The one what started it all!!

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

Not the actual book

Far too short. Find the full novel instead — though the narrator is great it really doesn’t make up for such a tragically truncated script.

Abridged version leaves out too much
