New Stephen Hunter Book

Post by Tallinthesaddle »

I just picked up a copy of Stephen Hunter's (Shooter-Point of Impact) new book "Soft Target". Guess it came out about a month ago. This one is about Ray Cruz the retired Marine Sniper. Can't wait to get started.

I tried one of his books for the first time earlier this year and I couldn't put it down. I've now read almost everything he's written (with an exception to the one you just posted about). He does tell a good story!

  1. Went to Amazon.com
  2. Purchased Kindle edition, "1 Click"
  3. Launched Kindle app
  4. Reading it now.....interrupted myself to come here and say that any book that opens with Santa's head getting blown off will likely get my attention.
  5. As you were.

I've read it. I liked it.

Thought "Dead Zero" was a better book, but Soft Target was an enjoyable read.

Agreed, but this was a shorter, less-complicated story. It was a good book though. I devoured it in under 3 hours of reading. Very enjoyable, nonetheless.

And, yes, any story that opens up with Santa Claus getting shot in the first sentence has GOT to be cool :thumbs2:
