Very technically accurate

I would put Wayne Tally right up there with Stephen Hunter as one of the best writers of shooting fiction around. One of the most technically accurate fiction books currently out there about snipers. Jacques Boudreaux a master sniper out to protect an old lady friend from his past when thugs try to kill her after she witnesses a mob hit on her husband that is as far as I will go without giving away the plot. This book is excellent not only do you have the feeling of being there but you also get to know the characters and have more feelings for them in the process. In overall a great book that would make a great movie depending on who is directing and who is in it.

Death From Afar

This was an interesting read with a lot of good information on military and police snipers. I instantly became hooked on the plot line and characters, although sometimes the dialogue was a little hard to follow. Any faults in the writing style are easily overlooked, as the plot with its many twists and turns, is exciting and believable. It was a real pleasure to read a book written by an author knowledgeable about firearms.

The Cajun Sniper Hits its Mark

Action packed, and suspensful, with real world settings make the book movie material.Very well done -- kept my interest throughout the read. Especially enjoyed the detail work put into the sniper setups and character descriptions.The book has more twists and turns than an autocross course but the flow of action was described in a way that I didn't get lost.[...]Read the first chapter and you are hooked!!

Good reading

One of the things that I enjoyed about "The Cajun Sniper" is its descriptive nature. The writer definitely takes you there, describing in detail the surroundings and taking you inside the characters? minds as the action occurs. While some books overload you with descriptive information, this book presents a clear mental image of the action, allowing you to travel to the places, go inside the characters minds and get a taste of Cajun culture.
