Synopsis

A top Russian intelligence agent has defected to the West and the only man with whom he will speak is Kyle Swanson, who busted him out of the U.S. Marine Corps Scout/Sniper School years ago. The defector proves to be an Edward Snowden-type gold mine of amazing secrets about the When, Where and How of President Vladimir Pushkin's next grab for lost Soviet territory.

But Swanson, now a special contractor with the CIA, soon begins to believe that it is all fool's gold being sprinkled by Moscow to ignite an open military fight with NATO and the United States.

Using his own deadly methods, the sniper sets out to find the truth, but to slow him down, the Russians kidnap Swanson's beautiful friend Calico, the CIA station chief in Estonia.

From Italy to the Arctic Circle, Kyle Swanson is on the hunt, convinced that the defector actually is running a complex plot to hand Russia a kingdom in the north. But Swanson seems always to be a step behind because there is a traitor within his own chain of command. To stop the madness, Swanson must deliver a kill shot a hundred miles away from a border bridge in Estonia, where a Russian Army waits on the far shore as a government official crosses over with an invitation to invade.

A series I have pretty much enjoyed all the way through. A couple of jarring moments, but otherwise pretty effective.

The ninth thrilling episode in Kyle Swanson series “Long Shot” opens with the defection of a top Russian intelligence agent who Kyle Swanson washed out of the U.S. Marine Corps Scout/Sniper School years before and who won’t divulge any top- secret information except to him.

I bought this in a charity shop for 50 pence as I needed something to read on the train, and overall I feel like Oxfam got the better deal. It was the literary equivalent of one of those really bad Amazon Prime war films about US soldiers in [insert war torn country] starring a washed up A-lister, e.......more

Goodreads review by Joe on November 12, 2017

I have enjoyed this entire series. This is the first one that Luke Daniels did not narrate so I bought the e-book. The usual shenanigans ensue. The “team” has been set off to the outer corners of the universe and are missing in the book. The authors also ask you to suspend believe in reality, as the......more
