There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later. They were five star efforts in my opinion and this one is no less so. There is something intriguing about the workings and life of a sniper and while this book concentrates less on that than the previous ones, it weaves a very believeable tale of international tension and intrigue which involves over time, Saudi Arabia, The United States, Russia and China to varying degrees as there is a plot afoot to take over Saudi Arabia and control of its vast oil fields and the plot, for a time is working really well.
An old nemisis from the past returns in this book as an important cog in the plan to overthrow the House of Saud which adds an extra dimension to the story. Vince Flynn fans would appreciate this book and I have noted previously that the Flynn character, Mitch Rapp could take some lessons from Kyle Swanson. This is pretty much nonstop action and intrigue and if you let this one pass you by you will regret it! Kindle Edition Verified Purchase.

This third in the Kyle Swanson series has as much action and suspense as its predecessors. Gunny Swanson has a new ally in Jamal, a CIA operative in Saudi Arabia, and the pair work with the Saudi government to stop terrorists from getting possession of 5 nuclear warheads. Not only do readers become engrossed in the non-stop drama, but they are treated to excellent description. One person found this helpful. Beyond the story, which is "hard to put down" good, the book tells what kind of emotional make-up is necessary to be an effective sniper. They see the target in highly magnified scopes, showing clearly the human being about to die, but they also see the round striking the human body, the wound channel, the blood, and the ultimate decimation of the human target.
The sniper must come to grips with such an intimate "relationship" with their target, and have a firm grasp of the need for the target to be killed. Without the proper training and mindset, a sniper's mission would be very difficult to carry out. It takes a special kind of warrior to do this work, and Jack Coughlin obviously understands it very well. One person found this helpful 2 people found this helpful. Fast pacing a clear understanding of combat tactics and the mentality of autonomous scout snipers says it all as to why I will read the whole series.
In a short time, Coughlin has become one of my favorite authors, and Kyle Swanson is just an inspired character. Thanks for telling us about the problem. Return to Book Page. Preview — Clean Kill by Jack Coughlin. Clean Kill Kyle Swanson Sniper, 3 4. He leaves for the U.

See 1 question about Clean Kill…. Lists with This Book. Jan 08, Jack rated it it was amazing. The plot of the book was very interesting, and well thought out. The book gives the reader an idea of what it is like being in the military. I also liked how the diplomatic relationships were portrayed in the book, because I feel like that is how it is in real life.
The only complaint I have about the book, is the military terms they use can get confusing if you don't know a lot about the military. Plot Summary The book starts with Sir Jeff and his wife holding a party at their castle, to have a peace treaty signed by Saudi Arabia and Israel.
After the party starts, terrorists blow up the castle with missiles and this triggers a bunch of terror attacks in Saudi Arabia. Once the king is killed, a rebellion in Saudi Arabia starts, led by Ebara. Kyle and his team of Navy Seals are sent in to help the Saudi government, and secure five nuclear missiles they have in their country. Kyle secures the first four, but then a terrorist, Juba, steals the fifth one. He brings it to a random place in Saudi Arabia. There is a battle between the Saudi's and Juba's team, which ends in the Americans getting the missle back and Juba getting killed.
Characterization Prince Abdullah changed a lot throughout the book. He started off as a ambassador to the U. However, when the terrorist attacks happened and the king was killed he was nominated as king. He changed a lot when this happened because all of a sudden he had a lot of things to deal with. He seemed to mature very quickly and handle all of the countries crisis' very easily. Recommendation I would recommend this book to a lot of people. I think it would be good for anyone who wants to join the military, because all though this isn't a true story, it still shows somewhat what being in the military is like.
I also think it would be good for people who have never been in the military because it shows them some of what veterans and military members go through when they are deployed. Apr 26, Garrett Pope rated it it was amazing. I thought this book was really good because it was full of action and suspense.

This book would probably be in my top ten list of books. I will definitely read the first two book now. I wish I would have known this was the third book before I was halfway done with it. I did not know because there was no indication on the book when I looked. Maybe I did not look hard enough. Clean Kill by Jack Coughlin is the third and final book in the Sniper series. Kyle Swanson, the ma Personal Response: Kyle Swanson, the main character, is asked to join Trident, a branch in the CIA that stops terrorist acts.
He stops extremists during a treaty between Israel and Saudi Arabia. The hospital Prince Abdullah is sent to gets attacked, but the attacks get stop by Kyle again. Kyle goes to Saudi Arabia to try to stop Juba, the British soldier who turned into a terrorist.
Clean Kill
The king of Saudi Arabia gets killed, so Prince Abdullah becomes king. Kyle is told not to do anything in Saudi Arabia, but he attempts to remove five nuclear bombs from Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, China is getting ready to attack the Saudi Arabia oil fields, but are really getting ready to invade Taiwan. Juba teamed up with a well known terrorists. In Russia, Vladimir Putin was made into the Russian ambassador and there is a new president of Russia.
Vladimir Putin gets the new president killed. Back in Saudi Arabia, Kyle got four of the five bombs and also killed one of the top terrorists. Juba designs a plan to get Kyle come to a city, in which he will then blow up the last bombs. The plan does not work and Kyle recovers the last bomb. He beats up Juba and throws him into the back of an old car.
He orders a tank to blow up the car, so Juba dies. Kyle goes back to the US to get some rest and the book ends Characteristic: Juba, the main antagonist in the book, went from a British soldier to a terrorist. I recommend this book to anyone who is in for a good action book. The person should read this after they read the first two books.
I also recommend this book to people who want to learn some information about war because this book was written by a former soldier. May 12, Giovanni Gelati rated it it was amazing. The author, Jack Coughlin is a retired Marine of the same rank having held the same job of sniper. Swanson is an incredible patriot and loves the Marines. There is nothing about this book that is slow. The action from the onset is quick paced and amps up from there.
The scenario presented is as we know fiction, but one can see how most of it stems from or could be current news almost anywhere in the Middle East. Swanson and his group of Black Bag Trident Marines are results oriented characters and they deliver time and time again. Coughlin creates all things that are Marine Corp Hoorah in this series.
He conveys the passion he has for the profession he had a as sniper and takes us inside the head of the best in the world. The commentary he creates through Kyle Swanson is amazing and engaging. We care about his work, his unit, and his loved ones. Clean Kill is a great novel for this week. Pick it up if you can or at the very least try one in the series. What are you reading today?

Well-written and exciting as the bloodshed and insanity of the Religious Police and the fanatical priest Mohammed Abu Ebara increases, there are surprising twists that keep you glued to every page. Gunnery Sergeant Kyle Swanson is iron-willed, effective and reliable but unemotional when faced with killing the enemy. Only in his dream visitations with Death does he recognize that with every kill he loses a little more of his humanity.
It is these characters and a host of others that breathe life into a complex situation that gets worse until a fiery confrontation near the end. Oct 10, Weerdski rated it liked it. Hangt voor mij ergens tussen 3 en 4 sterren in. De situatie waarin Kyle terecht komt is m. Jun 30, Kyle Pennekamp rated it liked it. The 3rd book in the series, the second I've read. The problem with so many of the paperback thrillers I've been reading lately is the 2nd Act. Most of them have a great opening, then one good idea that they save for the end.
The middle is a vast wasteland. In books like Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp series, it's kind of the point: But it still makes for a slow middle. That is not a problem in the Kyle Swanson Sniper series. Swanson goes from action scene to action scene, using his skills to "rain down pain and terror on the enemies of the United States" as he puts it. It's fast, it's violent, it's bloody, and it's a lot of fun. What the authors sacrifice is character usually Kyle's personal relationships appear only in the first 50 and last 50 pages of the book , but really, if you're picking up an action thriller written by a former sniper, how much love and vulnerability are you expecting?
One major flaw is the way Coughlin sets up the Arabs in the two I've read: But, what the hell: I'm gonna go back and read the first in the series: Sep 19, Bryce Zimmermann rated it really liked it. Im reading Clean kill I'm on page 16 and it is good so far it about a secrete mission and there going for some in alkada group. I think about the guy that was in special forces. I think there arguing to be death in bot al-kada group and special forces. This book reminds me of the time special forces killed Osama bin laden.
I thought I was serious but latter in the book it's just going to get scary.
Kundrecensioner
I think the author wrote this book to describe what happened when they killed Osama bin laden. I Im reading Clean kill I'm on page 16 and it is good so far it about a secrete mission and there going for some in alkada group. I feel anxious I really want to know what happens at the end. But I have to read the whole book to get the whole picture.
I'm not finished with the book but I think there are going to be some sad parts. The book is not going to be funny at all so if you read this be prepared. This a good book I plan to finish it by the end of this year I chose this book because it seems that it would be a good book. Overall I think this is going to be a good book. View all 4 comments. Mar 17, Jeffrey rated it really liked it Recommends it for: Special forces fans of military thrillers.
Gunny Sergeant Swanson, one of the best snipers in the world, and the members of Trident command are dispatched to Saudi Arabia to stop an violent uprising and recover 5 nuclear bombs in that country before a Russian backed and Chinese threatened attack can topple the government. Juba, Swanson old enemy is also on hand to try to kill Swanson. The action is fast and furious, and the sniper shows that his wits and military prowess count for as much as his long gun.
Sep 19, Greg Dill rated it it was ok. Started to read like a Tom Clancy novel with too much detail that began to bore me. There was a lot of action, but sporadic at best.
I give it a 3-star because the writing and character development was good, and I'm sure the story would have turned out good. But, it was just too detailed for me. Sep 08, andrew looker rated it it was amazing. Personal Response I liked this book because it had a lot of action and moments where you were unsure of where the book was going. Also it had a lot of tense moments and a good amount of suspenseful moments. Another thing was that the author was able to surprise the reader in all of those tense and suspenseful moments.
Plot First, Kyle and his team, which are called Team Trident, are tracking down a group of terrorists up in the mountains of Pakistan. Then finally, after hours of searching they find Personal Response I liked this book because it had a lot of action and moments where you were unsure of where the book was going. Then finally, after hours of searching they find the base camp of the terrorists, and blow up most of the buildings ,which kills all the terrorists.
After that Saudi Arabia falls into a civil war between the Muttaween, which is the Religious Police, and the monarchy. Then the Muttaween manage to kill the king, and the princes decide on the ambassador to the US as the new king. Then the Americans find out that the Saudi's have nukes that could be captured by the Muttaween, so the Saudi's try to get the Americans to take the nukes away from them, so they don't fall to the Muttaween. The Americans get 4 out of the 5 nukes out of the country but a terrorist named Juba gets one.
He tries to lure Kyle to come get it which succeeds, but Juba is killed by Kyle. They recover the nuke that Juba stole from them in a valley a mile away. Characterization Kyle starts off as a marine sniper ,and then he is called to take out some of the Muttaween. He becomes the worst nightmare of the Muttaween.
Finally he takes out his biggest rival Juba with his customised Excalibur Recommendation I would recommend this to middle and high school boys because they usually like a lot of action and tense moments. I would not recommend this to girls because they usually do not like action and hearing about death. Also I would not recommend this to elementary school kids because they don't usually like death and action.
Dit is niet Coughlin's beste boek, eerlijk gezegd. Het begin van het verhaal leek weinig veelbelovend en er zat weinig actie in. Toch is dit gedeelte essentieel voor de rest van het verhaal.

De motieven van de hoofdpersonages worden er levendiger door. Misschien had deze aanloop naar de jacht op de terrorist anders of korter gekund, want het was wel erg langdradig. Coughlin is er wel in geslaagd de omgeving van het land te schetsen.
