In the Crosshairs

Book Review – Extremely well written sniper novel by Jack Coughlin & Donald A. Davis. Outstanding technical knowledge and strong characters that keep you engage throughout the entire book. The female Coast Guard sniper – “Coastie” is a nice and refreshing difference in the action thriller genre. Can’t say enough good things about this series without giving too much away. It’s definitely in my Top 10 Favorites and deserves a seat at the ‘BigBoyz’ Table in the Action Thriller genre. Highly recommend the Kyle Swanson series if you like sniper-related thrillers.

Even though this is the final book in the Kyle Swanson series, anyone can read it without having had the pleasure of the previous nine novels. As any reader knows, the mark of a truly good series is the ache we feel when we realize the series is complete. In the Crosshairs Beth Castillo, a former sniper and partner of Kyle, who married a Mexican sniper, returns to action. Sir Jeff and Lady Pat as well as Lucky Sharif and his wife Janna round out the friends and family to support Kyle who must track and kill a CIA turncoat. There is lots of action in Afghanistan where we see how the heroin trade works. As usual we find some surprises and twists and turns in the plot.

This story once again features our hero Kyle Swanson. His friend Miguel Castillo has been killed in a shoot out with the forces of narcotics. During the funeral services a bomb is set off by someone. Swanson later identifies the culpritas Nicky Marks.a CIA sniper. Beth ledford Castillo is determined to gain vengance for the act. Kyle Swanson is paired up with Luke Gibson to catch and kill Nicky Marks. The king if narcotics is called the Prince.The true identity of the Prince is surprising. In the mean time the Prince has turned Congress woman Keenan loose on Swanson and the CIA. This is a very good book and has a shocking ending.

If your as big a fan of the genre, you won\’t be disappointed. Jack Coughlin, Scott McEwen, Stephen Hunter have nailed the story lines that keep me coming back for more. In the Crosshairs is number 10 in his Kyle Swanson Sniper Series. All are well written, timely and plausible. No cheap shots or phony rants, each book stands alone and keeps your attention focused on the plot. Highly entertaining and accurate militarily. Characters you will want to believe. Check him out.

This was a really good book and a great series. Like the previous books, this book was a great read and was hard to put down. The only bad thing I can say about this book was that it had more spelling errors than I am used to seeing in a book of this caliber. Fortunately, it doesn\’t detract from the book. If you\’ve read any of the previous books, you will enjoy this one. I hope we hear more from this author.
