THE SNIPER AND THE WOLF by Scott McEwen & Thomas Koloniar

Click to purchase

This is the third novel in the action series Sniper Elite featuring Gil Shannon, a Seal Team sniper. In the same vein as the first two books military action and plenty of it are the order of the day. Gil is sent to kill a Russian military sniper known as the Wolf who has spread havoc all across Europe and in the course of events has turned Chechen terrorist. The mission appears to be right on until Gil realizes that he has been exposed by someone high up in the U.S. government.

In order to even the odds now stacked against him he teams up with a deadly Russian special operative. When Gil and his team discover that the Wolf is just the tip of the iceberg and what he is up against is a full blown plot to destroy the U.S. economy and upend the stability of the Western World he must go full against the plotters as well as continuing to track down the Wolf.

Gil takes on hosts of enemy soldiers in his way, and in Herculean fashion destroys them one after the other. While exciting and filled with details of military weapons and one too many actions the number of encounters with armed and deadly troops stretches the imagination more than a little. The idea is to enjoy the book with the expectation of reading about the exploits of a super hero and his overcoming all obstacles thrown in his path; one after the other with no letup.

The book is pure entertainment and must be read as one would to enjoy the exploits of larger than life superheroes that bear little resemblance to us mortals. Doing it this way makes the read very enjoyable and becomes entertainment without having to decipher any devious plots.
