Book Reviews of Point of Impact
Book Review: Five Stars for the Ride, Despite Many Flaws
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a riveting thriller which holds your attention, although it requires the reader to suspend disbelief many times. What makes it such an irrestible read is that the plot is so creative and so devilishly constructed that you overlook the flaws. By flaws I mean such things as cliched plot devices, characters that are often one-dimensional, far too much rifle arcania which,at times, makes the book seem like a gun catalog, and so on. But, with all that, I enjoyed the book very much. Look forward to reading Hunter's other books.
Summary of Point of Impact
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.
