Review
CLEAN KILL
A Sniper Novel
‘The pages fly by as Swanson must face his most personal mission yet. The military tactics take a backseat to the characters, creating a strong and compelling narrative. Coughlin and Davis have concocted another winner that should only encourage a growing readership.”—Booklist
“Former Marine Coughlin and bestseller Davis combine a well-paced, credible plot with a realistic portrayal of modern combat. . . . The climax . . . will leave readers cheering.” —Publishers Weekly
DEAD SHOT
A Sniper Novel
“Compelling.” —Publishers Weekly
“The [plot] propels the pages forward, but this one isnt all about action: Swanson proves a surprisingly complex character...Dead Shot suggest[s] a hardware-heavy story that only an armed- services veteran could love. Surprisingly, its completely the opposite. Readers will be compelled…and will look forward to another Swanson adventure.”—Booklist
Kill Zone
A Sniper Novel
“Stunning action, excellent tradecraft, insider politics, and the ring of truth. Just about perfect.”—Lee Child
“Tight, suspenseful…Heres hoping this is the first of many Swanson novels.” —Booklist
“The action reaches a furious pitch.”—Publishers Weekly
SHOOTER
The Autobiography of the Top-Ranked Marine Sniper [Laurie, maybe add a line break to this subtitle?]
“One of the best snipers in the Marine Corps, perhaps the very best. When I asked one of his commanders about his skills, the commander smiled and said, ‘Im just glad hes on our side.”—Peter Maass, war-correspondent and bestselling author of Love Thy Neighbor
“The combat narratives here recount battlefield action with considerable energy . . . A renowned sniper, Coughlin is less concerned with his tally than with the human values of comradeship and love.”—The Washington Post
“Coughlin is a sniper, perhaps one of the most respected and feared in the Corps, and his memoir, Shooter, offers a uniquely intimate look into the life of one trained to live in the shadows . . . some of the most poignant action ever recorded in a modern Marine memoir.”—Seapower magazine
