Acerca de esta escucha
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.

In the windswept sands of the Middle East, Paul Chardy fought side by side with Ulu Beg: one, a charismatic, high-strung CIA covert warrior, the other a ferocious freedom fighter.

Beg has come over the Mexican border under a hail of bullets - determined to assassinate a leading American political figure and avenge his people's betrayal. The CIA wants Chardy to stop the hit. Chardy wants to save Beg's life. A terrible truth begins to emerge: somewhere, someone wants both men to die.

Ex-military policeman Jack Reacher is a drifter. He’s just passing through Margrave, Georgia, and in less than an hour, he’s arrested for murder. Not much of a welcome. All Reacher knows is that he didn’t kill anybody. At least not here. Not lately. But he doesn’t stand a chance of convincing anyone. Not in Margrave, Georgia. Not a chance in hell.

But when those dearest to him are murdered on the day of his homecoming, Reece discovers that this was not an act of war by a foreign enemy but a conspiracy that runs to the highest levels of government.

June 6, 1944. On the dawn of the D-Day invasion of Normandy, two snipers find themselves fighting a battle all their own. One is a backwoods hunter from the Appalachian Mountains in the American South, while the other is the dreaded German "Ghost Sniper" who earned his nickname on the Eastern Front. Locked in a deadly duel across the hedgerow country of France, the hunter matches wits and tactics against the marksman, both of them one bullet away from victory or defeat as Allied forces struggle to gain a foothold in Europe.

A major North American hydroelectric dam is blown up and the largest off-shore oil field in this hemisphere is destroyed in a brutal, coordinated terrorist attack. But there was one factor that the terrorists didn't take into account when they struck the Capitana platform off the coast of Colombia—slaughtering much of the crew and blowing up the platform—and that was the Capitana crew chief Dewey Andreas. Dewey, former Army Ranger and Delta, survives the attack, rescuing as many of his men as possible. But the battle has just begun.

A year after his family buried a body they thought was his, King saves a young woman from a car bomb in London, and that's when his work in the shadows becomes complicated. Because she's not who he thinks she is, and the web that King is pulled into is tangled with enemies that reach the highest levels of the United States government.

In the fall of 1888, Jack the Ripper slaughtered five prostitutes in London's seamy Whitechapel District. He did not just kill - he ripped with a butcher's glee - and then, after the particularly gruesome slaying of Mary Jane Kelly, he disappeared. For 127 years, Jack has haunted the dark corners of our imagination, the paradigm of the psychotic killer. We remember him not only for his crimes, but because, despite one of the biggest dragnets in London history, he was never caught.

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

The Master Sniper
This was a great story about a German Sniper. Enjoyed the scene in the battle in Russia. The story was fast paced and moved through a brutal time in World War II history. The development of the night scope was interesting. The ending was interesting. (won't give it away) This was in many ways a cat and mouse story with the allies hunting down the sniper. When I got the book I had thought the sniper was to be American so I was taken back to find out it was really a German master sniper. Guess I did not read the intro careful enough. Christopher Lane did a good job reading the story.

awesome story
great story. You can tell this was early on in Steohen Hunter'd career as he called a magazine "a clip" several times. But still..a great bit of historical fiction

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.

No can do!
I've started this book a couple of times, but can't get into the narration of this one. Stephen Hunter is usually four or five stars for me so this is an odd one. I tried one last time, but it's just not what I expected.

Not Great, story has potential
Would you try another book from Stephen Hunter and/or Christopher Lane?
Not based upon this one but it's the only one I have heard from them so it is not enough to make a judgement.
Would you ever listen to anything by Stephen Hunter again?
Not sure after just a partial listening. The type of story has potential.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Unfortunately the accents just seemed kinda "hokey" to me, but it must be difficult to portray a generation that you may be unfamiliar with or a dialect, etc. Also transitioning from male to female, American to Pol, Brit to German, etc had to be difficult.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Master Sniper?
Unsure at this time. It's hard to say for me as the story seemed to transition strangely to times, places and people.

Great cure for insomnia
Stephen Hunter has been on my required reading list since the release of the movie Shooter. I was less than impressed with the movie, and since it's always been said the book is better than the movie I decided to see if this was again the case. After the first read, I was hooked. I've been through each of the Swagger series since then. Having run out of Swagger adventures to get me through my days as an over the road truck driver, I decided I'd give his other novels a shot, and The Master Sniper was my first purchase.
I regret to say that I am not impressed. The commentor above me remarked that this novel is "fast paced." Perhaps it is...after the first three or four hours. I wouldn't know, as that's as far as I could safely listen. After an incredibly long, and mind-numbingly boring bout of character introductions, I was left wondering if there would be time for the story itself to develop before the end. Two times within the first hour I found myself nodding off. As I mentioned, I drive a commercial vehicle for a living, NOT a good place to be nodding off. I turned the Ipod off and went back to music. However, I've known many novels to start off boring but eventually turn into a masterpiece so I decided to give this one a second shot. BIG mistake. The most exciting scene I came across was that of the fellow prisoners being sniped while "the jew" manages to escape. I'd hoped that this scene would be the redemption, but the ensuing chase and eventual, lackadaisical calling off of the pursuit were the final straw.
I'd hoped I could say that the duldrum was merely due to the monotous drone of the narrator, for that would somewhat redeem Mr. Hunter's writing, but sadly this is not the case. The narrator was indeed incompetent...I felt like I was listening to someone who was contemplating suicide with each syllable. His "german" accent was more difficult to understand than that guy from the Micro Machines commercials of the 90's. Horrible purchase. DO NOT BUY.
