Interpretation As Books Point of Impact (Bob Lee Swagger #1)
He was one the best Marine snipers in Vietnam. Today, twenty years later, disgruntled hero of an unheroic war, all Bob Lee Swagger wants to be left alone and to leave the killing behind.But with consummate psychological skill, a shadowy military organization seduces Bob into leaving his beloved Arkansas hills for one last mission for his country, unaware until too late that the game is rigged.
The assassination plot is executed to perfection—until Bob Lee Swagger, alleged lone gunman, comes out of the operation alive, the target of a nationwide manhunt, his only allies a woman he just met and a discredited FBI agent.
Now Bob Lee Swagger is on the run, using his lethal skills once more—but this time to track down the men who set him up and to break a dark conspiracy aimed at the very heart of America.

Point of impactAlmost perfect. Definitely more than my normal 5 stars.For those, who like me, came to this book because they liked or loved the movie Shooter, the book is better, much better.This is a book (first published in 1993) about a sniper and guns and it is not surprising that people involved with gun culture like it. This makes me conclude that the novel is authentic in its depictions and details. However, I think it is even more enjoyable for people who have never been involved withThis book is a classic action story, but the way Stephen Hunter writes from a strong foundation of knowledge about firearms and shooter culture gives it an authenticity that other authors cannot come close to. And Bob Lee Swagger is the ultimate hero.
PROTAGONIST: Bob Lee SwaggerRATING: 3.5Bob Lee Swagger is pretty much living the life of a hermit in the mountains of Arkansas. His life revolves around guns; he has a huge cache, which he fine tunes and cares for but never uses for killing. He doesn't need much in his life. He's got a loyal dog and plenty of room to roam, and that suits him fine.When Bob served in Vietnam, he was renowned for his marksmanship; currently, he is one of the top shooters in the United States. In spite of himself,
Done as motion picture, "The Shooter." And if you liked it as I did, you'll be pleased to know the novel is even better. 10 of 10 stars!
I like this book. There are things in it that bug me a bit, but on the whole nothing that really requires comment.Bob Lee Swagger is a solitary man who lives alone in the Arkansas hills with his dog and his rifles. He loves to shoot though he doesn't hunt for meat anymore as since the war, he's lost his taste for the kill (something I've come to share. Maybe it's an age thing to?). Bob is part of the (so called) gun culture. He reads gun books, he loads his own ammunition and works at accuracy.
Fantastic book. The man's research is phenomenal. This is how to write a thriller. I can read this again anytime.
