Sniper's Day
Dave Lager, author
Outgunned and outclassed, Ro Faces Her Deadliest Adversary Yet On the books, Airman First Class Wade Meese was ‘only” an Air Force counter sniper assigned to protect the giant Bagram Air Force base in Afghanistan. Off the books, he was one of the deadliest and most feared shooters in that war torn hellhole. Most of his eighty-plus kills went unconfirmed because he operated alone and in places he was never officially in. The Taliban-sponsored drug smugglers who were his targets along the ancient Silk Road grudgingly awarded him the nickname “Skassa.” In Pashto it meant “ghost,” as they never knew when or where his deadly .50 caliber bullets might find them. When Russian special forces laid a trap for him in the unforgiving mountains of Tajikistan, the hunter became the hunted. His gravest mission would not be in the forbidding wilds of the Hindu Kush, though… But a to-the-death sniper vs. sniper dual against an inexperienced and outgunned local deputy sheriff along the peaceful shores of the Mississippi River in rural Iowa. You will not soon forget Skassa’s story in Sniper’s Day!

Sniper’s Day by Pikosha Deka for Readers’ FavoriteSniper's Day is the fifth installment in The Ro Delahanty Series by Dave Lager. Trained in the Air Force's Counter Sniper School in Arkansas, Airman First Class Wade Meese was stationed at the Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan. His mission was to eliminate enemy targets in places where US forces had no jurisdiction. With over 80 kills around his belt, Meese earned the nickname of Skassa, i.e., ghost, from the Taliban opium smugglers. However, a particular mission in Tajikistan lands him directly into a trap set by the Russians, and he barely comes out alive, sacrificing one of his legs. Despite his promotion and return home, Meese itches for the warrior's way to go out and sets up an ultimate confrontation with Corporal Ro Delahanty of the Deputy Sheriff's Department in Iowa. But Ro has other plans.Sniper's Day is an edge-of-your-seat thriller you will struggle to put down until you finish reading. Action-packed and filled with suspense and intrigue, Dave Lager delivers a spectacular military-action story that has you hooked throughout. Lager moves the plot briskly and divides the narrative into three timelines, following the evolution of the main characters throughout the years. Meese is a riveting antagonist. He's an introverted veteran struggling to adjust to civilian life, and Lager captures his essence perfectly. I liked the contrast between Meese's and Ro's personalities. Overall, Sniper's Day is a book that military thriller fans are guaranteed to love. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will gladly recommend it.  - Five Stars
