The Sniper War
Russia. Chechnya.
A nation fights to hold itself together. Another fights to be free.
As Grozny burns and the future of the Caucasus hangs in the balance, two of the deadliest men in the war are hunting each other.
Vitaliy "Ded" Sokolov is a veteran Spetsnaz sniper. Trained by the Russian state and hardened by years of combat, he is one of Moscow's most feared marksmen. To his commanders, he is a weapon. To his comrades, a legend. To the men who oppose him, he is death from a thousand metres.
Across the shattered city waits Mairebek.
A lifelong hunter and devoted patriot, Mairebek knows every street, rooftop, cellar, and ruin of Grozny. He has watched his homeland bleed beneath artillery and fire, and he is determined that Chechnya's future will be decided by Chechens alone.
Both men are patriots.
Both men are warriors.
Both men believe history is on their side.
As the battle for Grozny descends into chaos, sniper duels, ambushes, and relentless urban warfare, the two hunters are drawn toward an inevitable confrontation. Every successful shot narrows the distance between them. Every victory brings them closer to the man waiting in the opposite scope.
Inspired by real people and real events from the Chechen Wars, The Sniper War is a gripping historical novel of duty, sacrifice, brotherhood, and the terrible price paid by those who fight for causes greater than themselves.
In the ruins of Grozny, two patriots are about to discover the true cost of victory.
Each man hunts for his country. Each man hunts the other.

thriller at its finest.
The type of book you can’t put down once you start reading it, entertaining from start to finish. One of my favorite
