Who killed Whiskey 2-2?

And why won’t it stay dead?

A marine sniper team on a objective in tribal territories around the Afghan-Pakistan border, Whiskey 2-2 is ambushed by specialists using the latest high-tech shooting equipment. Terribly wounded, the team’s sole survivor, Gunnery Sergeant Ray Cruz, aka “the Cruise Missile,” is set to finish his work. He nearly succeeds whenever a mystery blast terminates his enterprise, leaving a thirty-foot crater where a building utilized to be – and where Sergeant about Dead Zero Cruz was meant to be hiding.

Months move. Ray’s target, an Afghan warlord called Ibrahim Zarzi, sometimes called “The Beheader,” turns into an American asset in your community and beyond, beloved by State, the Administration, and the Agency. He comes in Washington for consecration as Our Man in Kabul. But so does a mysterious radio transmission, in last year’s code. It’s from Whiskey 2-2.

MISSION WILL End up being COMPLETED.

CONFIDENCE IS HIGH.

Is Ray Cruz back again? Has he eliminated rogue, is certainly he insane, or just insanely angry? Can he be successful, though his antagonists now include the CIA, the FBI, and the same staff of bad boys that nearly wiped out him in Zabol province? Not to mention Bob Lee Swagger and a lovely CIA agent called Susan Okada who gives Swagger a lot more than only a patriotic cause to consider the case.

Swagger, the legendary hero of seven of Hunter’s books from Point of Influence to last year’s bestselling We, Sniper, is recruited with the FBI to stop the Luxury cruise Missile from reaching his target. The problem is that the even more Swagger learns about what occurred in Zabol, the more he queries the U.S. government’s support of Zarzi as well as the more he identifies with Cruz as hunter instead of prey.

With its hallmark accuracy on modern killing technologies, Dead Zero features an older, more contemplative Swagger, but never lets through to the razor-sharp dialogue, vivid characterizations, extraordinary action scenes, and dazzling prose define Hunter’s landmark series. And with this installment, the stunning revelations – both politics and private-will keep listeners begging to get more long after the last bullet finds its way house.
