A review by jfranco77
Dead Zero by Stephen Hunter
3.0
Bob the Nailer is back, but he's getting on in years, and it's good to see Hunter treating him that way instead of asking a 60-something veteran who is admittedly beaten up to keep acting like a superhero. It's still good to see him back, and this was a fast read focusing on Ray Cruz, a new generation of sniper with some surprising history.
At the start of the book, Cruz is on a mission in Afghanistan. It goes south, he's presumed dead, but he isn't. He returns to the states to find that his target has turned into a good guy, and Cruz teams with Swagger and his team to get to the truth. I'm not sure Cruz is as well developed as he should be, and the same could probably be said for some of the other characters, but the book has a lot of action and keeps you occupied until the last page.
