Summary: How the good old boy foxes the smart guys
Review: Bob Lee shows the best and smartest of the day the way. Bob is my hero and I could not put this book down. I stayed until the end and then started to read it all over again becuse I could not believe the way that he showed them up. The moral is " Don't mess with Bob Lee or his dog". The good old boy will get you and send you to hell with a smile on his face. If you want to be entertained then get a copy today.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Truly Outstanding!
Review: Point of Impact combines the deadly art of military snipers, with the instructional firearms lore to great effect. Bob Lee Swagger is one of a kind, which is unfortunate in this day and age. I look forward to the sequel(Black Light), which should be arriving any day now, with great anticipation.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: excellent
Review: This is best of what I have read from Stephen Hunter to date. The material is pure entertainment as not much work was done regarding technical points. The story has some of the best and most credible villians I've found so far. I have loaned the book to a number of other people with rave reviews from all

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My first Stephen Hunter-I could not put it down!
Review: Point of Impact showed me that he was one of the best action writers to date. Steven Hunter does to the novel, what virtual reality does to the computer. He draws you in and won't let you go onto until the last page is turned. It would have got a 10 if I hadn't read Hunter's incredible Dirty White Boys.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great thriller, plenty of action and suspense
Review: Not a gun enthusiast, but found it engaging. You can see the ending coming, but it is still a GREAT RIDE

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thrilling,thinking person's, action book
Review: A look into the silent inner world of a trained non-emotional LEGAL killer. Fascinating! Completely believable and thorough.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Un-put-downable. Is this a word? I don't care, it fits.
Review: Every once in a while, I come across an author that writes with such power and authority that his/her writing leaves me breathless. Stephen Hunter is in this category. His trilogy of Point of Impact, Dirty White Boys, and Black Light portrait both good and evil with such intensity that they haunted me deeply. To call them "thrillers" is almost a disservice. My recommendation to readers is to have these books lined up in a row because you will want to read them all without pause

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a GREAT thriller
Review: I love this book! great characters, great action, great plot twists. I've pushed this book on others with uniformily good results.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The lone gunman--except now, you're rooting for him!
Review: Bob Lee Swagger is not a man to mess around with. He was a military sniper, with the second highest number of kills in Vietnam. Then he came home to a country that shunned sniping, and he went into seclusion in the Arkansas mountains.

Now he's been called out. A shady government conspiracy wants to use him in an assassination--as the fallguy. And when Swagger does indeed fall for it, lured into a trap, he promises his tormentors will pay...with their blood...

Helping him is FBI agent Nick Memphis, who's just recieved his third strike. An odd pair, but together, they must unravel a far-reaching conspiracy...and bring vengence upon those who deserve it.

"Point of Impact" was the first Stephen Hunter novel I read. It got me hooked on his writing, though few other novels lived up to it ("Dirty White Boys" was pretty good, if I recall correctly). This novel is a thriller of the highest caliber (no pun intended). It's about a proud Southern gunman pushed to the limits...the one spot where you DON'T want him to be! This is a terrific, suspenseful book, and if you are a fan of thrillers and haven't read it yet, then you absolutely must.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazon recommendation was right on the money
Review: I had never heard of this book, let alone its author Stephen Hunter. I happened to be looking through my recommendations on Amazon and found this book. I was kind of surprised, because it sounded a bit different than most of my other recommendations. Seeing that it had 5 stars with 140 reviews, I thought I'd give it a try.

Wow. This book is awesome. Bob Lee Swagger is a man nobody should mess with. He's a smart, Southern boy who knows his guns and just wants to be left alone with his dog. Nick Memphis is a hard-working, well-liked FBI agent in New Orleans. The author really develops these characters (especially Swagger) to the point that I felt like I knew them and was there with them. There are so many twists & turns to this book - it's a constant game of cat & mouse and many times you're not sure who's the cat and who's the mouse.

When I finished this book I was so upset that it was over. I really, really, really enjoyed this book and I especially loved Bob Lee Swagger. Semper Fi.
