Story
Earl Swagger is tough as hell. But even tough guys have their secrets. Plagued by the memory of his abusive father, apprehensive about his own impending parenthood, Earl is a decorated ex-Marine of absolute integrity — and overwhelming melancholy. Now he’s about to face his biggest, bloodiest challenge yet. It is the summer of 1946, organized crime’s garish golden age, when American justice seems to have gone to seed for good.

But his current mission, going undercover in Nazi-occupied France during World War II, might be his toughest assignment yet. He will be searching for an ecclesiastic manuscript that doesn't officially exist, one that genius professor Alan Turing believes may hold the key to a code that could prevent the death of millions and possibly even end the war.

Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden—especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other way—is far from popular. When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in.

Top 5 Military Thriller EVER!!!
- By Don Bentley on 06-11-21
By: Brian Andrews, and others
Publisher's Summary
Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times best-selling author Stephen Hunter returns with a taut, white-knuckled thriller featuring master sniper Bob Lee Swagger as he protects a group of political hostages during a perilous standoff and once again proves his title of “true American literary icon” (Mark Greaney, author of Mission Critical).
After his successful takedown of a dangerous terrorist, Bob Lee Swagger learns that no good deed goes unpunished. Summoned to court by the United States Congress, Swagger is accused of reckless endangerment by a hardheaded anti-gun congresswoman. But what begins as political posturing soon turns deadly when the auditorium where the committee is being held is attacked.
Swagger, the congresswoman, and numerous bystanders and reporters are taken hostage by a group of violent operatives. Soon, the very people who had accused him are depending on him to save their lives. Trapped in the auditorium and still struggling with injuries from his last assignment, Swagger must rely on his instincts, his shooting skills, and the help of a mysterious rogue sniper on the outside in order to ensure that everyone makes it out alive.
A heart-pounding and crackling action-packed novel, Targeted proves that Stephen Hunter is “a true master at the pinnacle of his craft. No one does it better” (Jack Carr, Former Navy SEAL Sniper and author of The Terminal List).

Very disappointed
It was nice of Hunter to allow BLS to have limited presence in this NOT BLS story.
Exceedingly boring and predictable.
Long past time for BLS to perhaps train a much younger person…

Ghost Writer?
I was very disappointed in Hunter's most recent book, prior to this one, Basil's War; but it wasn't a Bob Lee Swagger book and I simply did not care for it. But this book, TARGETED, is just awful---so much so that I simply can't believe that it was written by Stephen Hunter. Also, I see that I am not alone with this opinion and have plenty of company with my overall rating. So Audible must be using some pretty fuzzy math to show this with a 4.4 rating.

Cartoonish villains not worthy of Swagger
Bob Lee Swagger has always been one of my favorite fictional characters. Lately, however, author Hunter's villains, both foreign and domestic, have been cardboard, cartoonish stereotypes using tropes popular in certain circles today. Bob Lee deserves better!
