Publisher Description
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… “Mesmerizing suspense,” – Kirkus Reviews “Hunter is a deft craftsman with a sure sense of pace and scene. He also knows about irony and sprinkles just a bit over every corpse.” – The Washington Post “Stephen Hunter is the best writer of straight-out thrillers working today.” – Rocky Mountain News

The Master Sniper Listener Reviews

" This is an okay thriller about a German sniper -- but Hunter's clearly still learning here. "
— Lily, 4/11/2011 -
" just started it..... <br/>i've liked his father/son stuff. <br/>finished.. <br/>this is an early hunter. <br/>loved the introduction of "night vision" technology. <br/>a different take on the end of WWII. <br/> <br/> "

" Draged a bit. For a sniper book, there were suprisingly few shots fired "
— Craig, 5/10/2010 -
" Ok book with an interesting plot. "
— Davin, 10/13/2009 -
" Stephen Hunter, Pulitzer prize winning film critic for the Washington Post, has made a pretty decent go writing books about men who shoot other men at long range with high powered rifles. This is the first of those. "
— Craig, 10/6/2009 -
" Was not sure if the author was projecting his own hatred unto the characters. The characters been the Jews, the "Niggers" as written in the book, and the Swiss. <br/> <br/>The ending will not be highly remembered. And not sure what the purpose was off the tennis match. "
— Recato, 8/27/2009 -
" Another fab read by the guy who brought us Bob Lee Swagger. "
— Dominic, 6/2/2009 -
" Throughly gripped by Hunter's tale. Excellent storyteller. "
— Mark, 1/8/2009 -
" Rather enjoyable read, though der Meisterschütze Repp was a bit much. He definitely embodied the sniper slogan "kill like you mean it." Unfortunately, that was his only good quality. "
— John, 6/26/2008
