Synopsis
From New York Times bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winner Stephen Hunter comes a thriller that plunges deep into the world of high-tech national security, the hearts and minds of those who kill for duty, and the latest mission for veteran sniper Bob Lee SwaggerâÈ' who may have finally met the only man who can outshoot him. Who killed Whiskey 2-2? And why wonâÈçt it stay dead? A marine sniper team on a mission in tribal territories on the Afghan-Pakistan border, Whiskey 2-2 is ambushed by professionals using the latest high-tech shooting gear. Badly wounded, the teamâÈçs sole survivor, Gunnery Sergeant Ray Cruz, aka âÈêthe Cruise Missile,âÈë is determined to finish his job. He almost succeeds when a mystery blast terminates his enterprise, leaving a thirty-foot crater where a building used to beâÈ'and where Sergeant Cruz was meant to be hiding. Months pass. RayâÈçs target, an Afghan warlord named Ibrahim Zarzi, sometimes called âÈêThe Beheader,âÈë becomes an American asset in the region and beyond, beloved by State, the Administration, and the Agency. He arrives in Washington for consecration as Our Man in Kabul. But so does a mysterious radio transmission, in last yearâÈçs code. ItâÈçs from Whiskey 2-2. MISSION WILL BE COMPLETED. CONFIDENCE IS HIGH. Is Ray Cruz back? Has he gone rogue, is he insane, or just insanely angry? Will he succeed, though his antagonists now include the CIA, the FBI, and the same crew of bad boys that nearly killed him in Zabol province? Not to mention Bob Lee Swagger and a beautiful CIA agent named Susan Okada who gives Swagger more than just a patriotic reason to take the case. Swagger, the legendary hero of seven of HunterâÈçs novels from Point of Impact to last yearâÈçs bestselling I, Sniper, is recruited by the FBI to stop the Cruise Missile from reaching his target. The problem is that the more Swagger learns about what happened in Zabol, the more he questions the U.S. governmentâÈçs support of Zarzi and the more he identifies with Cruz as hunter instead of prey. With its hallmark accuracy on modern killing technologies, Dead Zero features an older, more contemplative Swagger, but never lets up on the razor-sharp dialogue, vivid characterizations, extraordinary action scenes, and dazzling prose that define HunterâÈçs landmark series. And with this installment, the stunning revelationsâÈ' both political and privateâÈ'will leave readers begging for more long after the last bullet finds its way home.
