Bob. Lee. Swagger.
The Man, the Myth, the Legend. Bob Lee Swagger has led a life of dedication and service to the good ‘ole USA. The former Vietnam Vet/Marine sniper has some years on his body, but he's not lost the drive to keep people safe.
Stephen Hunter's Targeted starts off with a bang. Actually a few bangs, muffled bangs. Swagger's enjoying life in his rocking chair, recuperating after being shot by a terrorist. Congresswoman Charlotte Venable subpoenas Swagger for his act of heroism.
Swagger delivers the truth, and battles the committee back and forth until they bring up family history… This book includes shadowy operatives and foreign bad guys, which come to a head at the judiciary meeting. Hostages are taken, demands are given, and pants are wetted.
Hunter gives us an irresistible Swagger adventure! With glimpses of Redcoat treachery, unwavering dedication to country and endless servitude, Swagger will go down as one of the finest crafted characters ever. I have always enjoyed the Hunter Swagger novels, but the feel of this one is fantastic. Great work Mr. Hunter.
