About this listen

From the legendary special operations sniper and best-selling author of The Reaper comes a rare and powerful audiobook on the art of being a sniper.

Way of the Reaper is a step-by-step accounting of how a sniper works, through the lens of Irving's 10 most significant kills - none of which have been told before. Each mission is an in-depth look at a new element of eliminating the enemy, from intel to luck, recon to weaponry. Told in a thrilling narrative, this is also a heart-pounding true story of some of the Reaper's boldest missions, including the longest shot of his military career on a human target of over half a mile.

In Iraq and Afghanistan, Nick Irving earned his nickname in blood, destroying the enemy with his sniper rifle and in deadly firefights behind a .50 caliber machine gun. He engaged a Taliban suicide bomber during a vicious firefight, used nearly silent subsonic ammo, and was the target of snipers himself. Way of the Reaper attempts to place the listener in the heat of battle, experiencing the same dangers, horrors, and acts of courage Irving faced as an elite member of the 3rd Ranger Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, while also examining the personal ramifications of taking another life.

Listeners will experience the rush of the hunt and the dangers that all snipers must face while learning what it takes to become an elite man hunter. Like the Reaper himself, this explosive audiobook blazes new territory and takes no prisoners.

The preface of this audiobook is read by the author.

Profound moment.

This entire book was captivating. Not overly complicated but every now and then informative in a technical way. Throughout the entire book was entertaining but the last 15 to 10 mins or the ending of the final chapter was simply profound. Never be afraid to be afraid.

amazing show of bravery and valor.

words cannot express the gratitude I possess for not only mr.Irving, but all of our armed forces.
after having read both 'The Reaper', and this title.
all I can say is this, show respect.
respect what this brilliant man has compiled for your imagination to embrace, but also respect the weight he has carried. for you, for me. for these United States of America.

The Narration

I believe the narration could have been better. The narrator was dry and could been better.
