Kyle Swanson Sniper

review 1: This was the fifth book by Jack Coughlin with Kyle Swanson as the lead character. Gunnery Sargent Swanson is part of a highly classified super secret group called Task Force Trident which reports directly to the President of the United States. A new character is introduced in this book, Beth Ledford who they nick named Coastie as she was from the U. S. Coast Guard. She was a super accurate sniper but untrained in counter terrorist techniques. She went through rigorous training to be a candidate for Trident. Swanson was impressed with her attitude and shooting skills and selected her to go on a mission in Pakistan where her brother had been killed observing construction of a hugh bridge. This bridge held some secrets and the President had to find out what they were. T... morehe tail unfolds with the bridge really being above a complex underground bunker designed to manage and direct an attack on America. This story was very well written and will keep you on the edge of your seat. Many secrets were not revealed until the very end and they will surprise you. This is a good read.
review 2: I received this book in a Goodreads Giveaway. I enjoyed the fast paced action and "behind the scenes" look at the current war on terror. I have not read the previous books in this series but this did not deter my enjoyment of the story. My only slight issue with the character development is having a minor villain possess Dissociative Identity Disorder. This diagnosis occurs very rarely and seemed to be a flashy choice to replace the typical sociopathic villain angle. Otherwise, I thought the story was interesting and kept my attention well. A quick read that is perfect for summer. less
