Summary

An American general is captured by Islamic extremists in the Middle East. They threaten to behead him within days. One strange fact: Moments before he is rendered unconscious during the attack, the general notices that his unseen captors speak American English. What's going on?

Gunnery Sergeant Kyle Swanson, a top level marine sniper, is vacationing on a boat in the Mediterranean when he receives orders to mount a top-secret mission to rescue the general. But as he and his men prepare to land in the Iraqi desert, they immediately come under ferocious attack, and Swanson is the only man left alive. How did the enemy know details of a mission known only to a few top government officials?

Swanson takes off across the desert alone to find the captured general and realizes he is fighting a particularly ruthless and dangerous enemy: American mercenaries working for a very high-level group of American officials with ties to the White House itself, part of a clandestine conspiracy whose hidden agenda is nothing less than total control of the American military. Their sworn enemy is the captured general whose fate now rests in Sniper Swanson's hands.

Full of the kind of action author Jack Coughlin lived during his career as a marine sniper, Kill Zone marks the debut of an extraordinary writing team.

Accents need work...

Enjoyed the story and all round a very good read/listen. The only thing that spoiled it a little were the British accents of the narrator. Very poor indeed, were they Scottish or Indian?

Good start to a series

I have had this book on my wish list for along time. Knowing that i was going to love this series. But audible only had books 1 2 and 8 and this would just frustrate me because I would be hooked by the series and want more. So I'm a very happy person as books 1 to 9 have now been released. I can now say that I loved this book it was full of action and adventure and yes I am hooked. Ok I'm off to start book 2.

Amazing listen. Voices need work

Story is captivating and detailed. I loved the intensity of the story line and how bad ass Kyle Swanson is! The narrator lead me to a bit of confusion when using character voices but was still able to get the gist of who’s speaking.

The Scottish accent definitely needs work. Sounded more like Indian.

Besides that, fantastic listen.

Dull

What can I say except “don’t waste your money” I tried 4 chapters before I could take no more. Seriously dull, monotone American narration, combined with a book lacking in content. Thought it couldn’t get much worse, but it did when the different accents were attempted! What was that-Scottish, Irish? Or a horrendous amalgamation of both? I really wanted to like this, not only because of the subject matter, but also because this is a series I thought I could get into, but no. Woeful.

Great Story rubbish Narration

Great Story of a lone sniper struggling to rescue a USMC General.
Some interesting twist in the plot keep you wanting to here more.
The story was let down by the poor choice of Narrator. Luke Daniels should stick to USA voices, his assassination of British voices making a Welsh character sounding like a Irish, Scottish Pakistanis.
He has a very limited range of voices.
