The latest in the Kyle Swanson series delivers the thrills fans of the previous books expect. This time Swanson believes that a man whom he considers an enemy has defected from Russia, and he promises to provide intel that could save lives. Seeking the truth puts him in the crosshairs of a deadly plot that has ramifications beyond even what he can fathom. The intelligence network he relies on is suspect at best, and he must go with his gut if he's to win. The authors know how to balance backstory and character development while also making it easy for newcomers to enjoy the books. Dealing with beyond-top-secret missions is Swanson's specialty, but this time his current mission just might be the one that takes him out of the game permanently. Satisfying reading for military-fiction devotees. Copyright 2016 Booklist Reviews. - PW Annex Reviews : Publishers Weekly Annex Reviews
In Coughlin and Davis's solid ninth Sniper novel (after 2015's The Night of the Cobra), defector Ivan Strakov, a Russian intelligence operative, walks into the U.S. embassy in Helsinki, Finland, and declares that he will talk to no one except CIA sniper Kyle Swanson. The two met briefly 20 years earlier when Kyle was in the Marines and Ivan was in the Russian naval infantry. After a first debriefing session, Ivan sends Kyle, posing as a Canadian journalist, to Narva, Estonia, on a recon mission. Kyle figures out that Ivangorod, the Russian town across the river from Narva, could be the jumping off point for a Russian incursion into Estonia and beyond. Kyle wants to terminate his relationship with Ivan, but his CIA boss won't let him, and the defector continues to manipulate Kyle, the CIA, and several other spy agencies like the genius spy that he is. Soon it's apparent that only Kyle can stop a third world war between NATO and Russia. Fans of military thrillers will enjoy the ride. (Aug.)
