Summary

From the coauthor of the number-one New York Times best-selling American Sniper, this "inspired by true events" thriller follows one of America’s most lethal snipers as he leads the rescue of a downed female Special Ops pilot.

The President of the United States can’t decide how to respond to a classified video showing the Taliban’s brutal treatment of their captive - a female helicopter pilot of the Army’s elite Special Operations Aviation Regiment. Afraid that a botched rescue will further destabilize foreign policy and end his presidency, the Commander-in-Chief falters. But when the Special Ops community learns that one of their own is being tortured and will almost certainly be killed, no executive order will stop them from attempting a rescue mission.

In direct defiance of the President’s orders, Navy SEAL sniper Gil Shannon launches an audacious mission with the support of elite soldiers and an enigmatic government figure, to infiltrate the tribal faction holding the captured pilot. A pulse-pounding battle ensues, pitching the entire force of the Taliban against the fearless and heroic American sniper. Packed with blistering action and real-life combat scenes, Sniper Elite: One Way Trip will pin you to the edge of your seat until the very last sentence.

Fantastic story - if you like Vince Flynn novels..

What did you like most about Sniper Elite: One Way Trip?

The story is fantastic - very exciting and not just about snipers.

What other book might you compare Sniper Elite: One Way Trip to, and why?

Brad Thor, Vince Flynn and Tom Wood novels

What about Brian Hutchison’s performance did you like?

Didn't over-do the accents and still left them realistic - created a very exciting story.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I can't really do this as I commute but I couldn't wait to get back into the car!

A good adventure story.

For all that this book tries to introduce the love angle and men very occasionally finding their feminine side, it remains a book aimed at a male readership and a red meat male readership at that. There's very little here for women.
Having said that, it's a good yarn well told and well performed. It's a nice antidote to the droning performances of Lee Child's Jack Reacher books.

Stunner

What a great story teller this guy is, my first book from this author and i can easily say he puts himself in my list of favorite writers. No way once you start it, you can put it down before finish. freaking marvelous. Salute!

The carefully inserted dark humor at times gives you a chance to breath normal back again.

This is going to cost me lot of money now finishing his rest of works. Damn!

Narrator is brilliant too, his efforts in delivering dialogues without any emotions at times thrown me off balance couple of times, which was to be expected in a military settings.

A great performance & story a little to good.

A great story to keep you spellbound, A one man army prevails, good over evil. We should all respect what the armed forces do to protect our world from evil.

Really gripping

Thoroughly enjoyed this, if it was a book I would say it's a page Turner, don't know how that translates into audio.

Brilliant!

Utterly gripping story. Full of believably written characters. I often listen to books while doing mundane tasks, however with is one, and especially towards the end, I just had to sit down and listen; didn't want to risk missing a beat! Excellent performance by the narrator, every voice distinct and recognisable. This is my first "Sniper" book and I now look forward reading them all.

Exciting and satisfying

The bad guys get punished. Good stuff. Good technical accuracy. Although the T34 tank should be the T55 tank (very very minor niggle).

Great actioner!

Great story, politically relevant.
Surprisingly, in a good way, not the endless back slapping elite brotherhood stuff.
Use of acronyms a little off putting.
Overall an exciting listen, will buy more of this author in this genre
