About this listen

 The long-anticipated origin story of legendary Marine, fan favorite, and father of literary icon Bob Lee takes us to the battlefields of World War II as Earl Swagger embarks on a top secret and deadly mission—from Pulitzer Prize­–winning and New York Times bestselling Stephen Hunter, “one of the best thriller novelists around” (The Washington Post).

July, 1944: The lush, rolling hills of Normandy are dotted with a new feature—German snipers. From their vantage points, they pick off hundreds of Allied soldiers every day, bringing the D-Day invasion to its knees. It’s clear that someone is tipping off these snipers with the locations of American GIs, but who? And how?

General Eisenhower demands his intelligence service to find the best shot in the Allied military to counter this deadly SS operation. Enter Pacific hero Earl Swagger, assigned this crucial and bloody mission. With crosshairs on his back, Swagger can’t trust anyone as he infiltrates the shadowy corners of London and France for answers.

From “a true master at the pinnacle of his craft” (Jack Carr, author of the Terminal List series), The Bullet Garden is an electrifying historical thriller that is sure to become a classic.

Stephen Hunter's latest entry is as much as a reward to his long term fans as well as being an excellent action novel to new readers.

As a long term reader of Hunter I was pleased to come across characters, scenarios and events that that I felt were forgotten in his narrative tapestry. Because I tend to feel that his earlier work was unappreciated or overshadowed!

As usual the heart of the story is a duel between two warriors and the story takes place in WW2 admist the Intelligence co-operative between the US and UK.

The narration is excellent and delivers the narrative in an expert manner.

Overall this is a very special entry in the Hunter saga and those who have been on the journey will be most pleased where this book takes them.

A fitting coda.
