From Booklist:
The latest in the Sniper series continues to provide great action and to feature an engaging protagonist in sniper Kyle Swanson. The intensity is established immediately with an attack on the American consulate in Barcelona. A good friend of Swanson’s worked there and died in the crossfire, giving Swanson a personal interest in retaliation. He learns that the incident was instigated by the Group of Six, radical Islamic bankers interested in stealing a chunk of the European money market. Swanson and his team begin to hunt down the group, but they are unaware that a killer unlike anyone they have ever faced is on their trail at the same time. On Scope delivers the goods for fans of high-action military fiction, and they will be pleased to discover that this series is losing none of its energy, even as it ages. Knowledge of the previous installments is not required to enjoy this one. --Jeff Ayers
