    About this audiobook

    From the coauthor of the #1 New York Times bestseller American Sniper—the critically acclaimed memoir of SEAL sniper Chris Kyle—this “inspired by true events” thriller follows one of America’s most lethal marksmen as he leads the rescue of a downed female Special Ops pilot.

    ONE TEAM. ONE SHOT. ONE WAY.

    In direct defiance of the president’s orders, Navy Master Chief Gil Shannon, one of America’s most lethal SEAL snipers, launches his own bold mission comprised of SEAL Team Six and Delta Force fighters to free a female helicopter pilot being held and brutally mistreated by Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan.

    The president fears a botched rescue would be a foreign policy disaster—and the end of his term. But once the special ops community learns that one of their own has been taken hostage, there is no executive order strong enough to stop them from going in—whatever the risks.

      In a fast paced, action packed thriller, a female US chopper pilot is captured by the Taliban in Afghanistan. She is raped, has a finger cut off and the Taliban demand a ransom for her.The US SEAL Team 6 and Delta forces form a rescue mission to save the pilot and punish those responsible for her rape and the other indignities she suffered. The US Military was characteristically brave and willing to do whatever necessary to save their comrade. The Taliban was portrayed with all their hatred toward the US and all things American.I received this book for free in order to write an honest review and enjoyed the book very much.

      Sniper Elite is one of the best military suspense novels I have read in a long time. I really appreciated the author clarifying that the fictional storyline actually details some of the special operation missions that have actually occurred. The book is riveting, full of intense action scenes that provide us with insight into the danger and brutality that are an evident part of war. The protagonist is Navy Master Chief Gil Shannon and readers first encounter him taking a break at his ranch in Montana with his supportive wife, Marie. We begin to get a glimpse of Gil’s character and his passion serving as a Navy SEAL when he tells his wife: “It’s what I do, baby. I can’t explain it, but I feel like the only other thing I was ever meant to do was love you.” Meanwhile, the story shifts to the capture of Warrant Officer Sandra Brux, the first female pilot, to serve in the elite Night Stalkers, who provide support during black op missions. While observing a military training exercise in Afghanistan, their group is attacked by terrorists. Sandra is the only survivor and is taken prisoner to a secret location, where a ransom is demanded for her release. In order to rush the government to make a decision whether to pay the ransom, Sandra is brutally tortured. Video footage is sent as evidence. The current President has little knowledge of military operations and relies upon his staff to help him understand his options. Of course each option has political ramifications, especially since the President is close to re-election. Although ransoms are not usually paid for servicemen captured, Sandra’s gender and distinguished status provide cause for consideration. The President worries about the public backlash that could ensue if word is leaked of her abduction and the President’s failure to take appropriate action for her rescue. While the President and his advisors are in the decision-making process, Gil and other members of Special Forces, especially the Night Stalkers are adamant that they will rescue Sandra, since she is one their own. Gil and an Afghani translator working for the U.S. put together a secret team combining SEAL and DELTA operatives. Without authorized military support, Gil knows that he and the others who have agreed to take this risk may not return from this mission. Gil’s call to wife before he leaves letting her know that he may not return is heart-wrenching to say the least. When this perilous mission gets underway, it is a heart pounding, action-packed, edge of your seat depiction of the rescue that is so graphically detailed and realistic I found I could really envision these dramatic scenes. The Epilogue did not leave me at ease, and I hope the authors will continue the story in a future book. This was an excellent read that gave me a greater understanding of the dangerous situations our armed forces encounter while loyally serving their country. Their dedication and willingness to give their lives for our safety defines them as true heroes that deserve our admiration and respect. I received a copy of this book by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
