About this listen
The Instant New York Times Bestseller by Co-Star of Fox's American Grit and Legendary Ranger Nicholas Irving.
Groundbreaking, thrilling and revealing, The Reaper is the astonishing memoir of Special Operations Direct Action Sniper Nicholas Irving, the 3rd Ranger Battalion's deadliest sniper with 33 confirmed kills, though his remarkable career total, including probables, is unknown.
Irving shares the true story of his extraordinary military career, including his deployment to Afghanistan in the summer of 2009, when he set another record, this time for enemy kills on a single deployment. His teammates and chain of command labeled him "The Reaper," and his actions on the battlefield became the stuff of legend, culminating in an extraordinary face-off against an enemy sniper known simply as The Chechnian.
Irving's astonishing first-person account of his development into an expert assassin offers a fascinating and extremely rare view of special operations combat missions through the eyes of a Ranger sniper during the Global War on Terrorism. From the brotherhood and sacrifice of teammates in battle to the cold reality of taking a life to protect another, no other book dives so deep inside the life of an Army sniper on point.
Also available: Reaper: Ghost Target and Reaper: Threat Zero, the first books in Nicholas Irving's thrilling series that Brad Thor calls "one hell of a read"!
What the critics say
“A gripping account from a man whose lethal aim took out 33 Taliban fighters on one deployment, a record.” —New York Daily News
“Gripping.... Irving's book is a focused, fast-paced tale that, like Irving, never loses sense of its mission.” —San Diego Union Tribune
“This gritty, unapologetic look into the life of a special operations soldier recounts both harrowing and heartfelt tales from the on-the-job experiences of Irving...This account is perhaps not for the faint of heart, but it is sure to be intriguing for those who are made of less squeamish stuff.” —Library Journal

Nicholas’ writing is both raw and pure…
This writing is the best summary I have heard of one hero’s account of his time in country. It is very well written and gave me the sense that his story is being told here in the manner he would have told his best friend. If I could change one thing, it would be to hear Nicholas read the entire story. The narrator was great and there are no issues with him, but Nicholas’ voice would have made it just a bit better. Please write more.

I have heard about this book when nick first went on demolition ranch and since then i’ve been trying to find time in my scheduel to get through this book. It was worth the wait. I enjoy every part of this book and the small details of it. I will listen to this again for sure. 10/10

I couldn’t stop listening, and didn’t. I enjoyed every minute and wish it could have lasted longer than the day start to finish.

a given perspective for those who plan on joining
just like irv, i had big plans. I was gonna join the Canadian armed forces, waltz on through basic training, then try out for jtf2.
well as you can imagine with hearing these kinds of stories it puts this whole thing into perspective,
at 21 years old im settling for the reserve army, the north saskatchewan regiment.
