The Master Sniper

By: Stephen Hunter

Narrated by: Christopher Lane

With a sniper’s rifle he has calmly executed hundreds of enemy soldiers in a single battle, and gunned down thousands of innocent civilians in a single day, waiting patiently for the barrel of his gun to cool before resuming his craft…

It is the spring of 1945. And Repp, the master sniper, is about to carry out his final mission – even as Germany’s enemies overrun it, even while a tired, disorganized team of American and British agents tries everything in its power to stop him. Because for Repp, this is the job at which he cannot fail. For this time, he possesses the ultimate killing tool. And with it, he will commit the ultimate crime.

Critic reviews

"Mesmerizing suspense” ( Kirkus Reviews)

>“Hunter is a deft craftsman with a sure sense of pace and scene. He also knows about irony and sprinkles just a bit over every corpse.” ( The Washington Post)

“Stephen Hunter is the best writer of straight-out thrillers working today.” ( Rocky Mountain News)

Great job

Good book and great job narrating. Made me want to Listen to more and more. I will look for more of this combo

Solid Listen

I liked this book a great deal, but to point to an exact reason why you should listen to it is proving to be more difficult than I expected. I'm a big fan of stories set in WW2, and Nazi plots and secret technology are pretty interesting plot elements for me. The performance is better than average and the story is a nice blend of historical research and a race against time thriller. The best way to describe it a good solid listen. One thing of note that I found as a nice change of pace was that this is a stand alone book. Its nice sometimes to listen to a book that wraps it up in one volume instead of ending on a cliff hanger. Definitely worth a credit.

As always - a great book by SH, however,

it's the first one where I am critical. Too many characters and especially when listening it's easy to get confused. Also, great narration

Master sniper

This is a great book with a great narration and a great story I would recommend this book to anyone who is not afraid of gore

Love the storytelling!

Love how hunter gets into the details of the firearms, which in a sense are always a character themselves and are a huge part of his stories. Especially this one.
