Product Description:
"Time to Hunt" marks the return of one of Hunter's most popular characters, Bob Lee Swagger, also known as "Bob the Nailer", first introduced in "Point of Impact" and "Black Light". Now, just when he thinks the horror of the Vietnam War is behind him, Bob must face his deadliest foe from Vietnam. Only this time, it isn't just his own life at risk, but also the lives of his wife and daughter. With his trademark timing, and prose that cuts to the bone, Hunter delivers another dead-on thriller.
Amazon.com Review:
After a literally explosive opening where sniper fire cuts through the chest of an unnamed victim (Swagger?), readers of Time to Hunt are plunged into the final years of the Vietnam War and the struggles of Marine Donny Fenn. Stationed in Washington, D.C., after recovering from a nearly mortal wound, Fenn is asked to spy on Marines who may have ties to the peace movement. What Donny quickly learns, however, is that his Navy superiors are more interested in framing somebody than they are in finding the truth. In this first section, readers waiting to discover the outcome of the assassination and glimpse Bob "The Nailer" Swagger will instead be swept away by Hunter's vivid painting of the divided loyalties and torn identities that plagued soldiers and citizens in the early 1970s.
But all of this action is only a prelude to Donny's subsequent relationship with Swagger in Vietnam. Hunter fleshes out the mythology that he began to create in Point of Impact as readers watch Swagger add to his famed body count and confront his nemesis, Solaratov. Hunter moves deftly from the mind of Solaratov to Donny and back to Swagger, and in each character finds the core of the Vietnam experience--fear, coldness, sadness, horror, elation.
The last two sections cut to contemporary events and find Swagger married to Donny's former love, Julie. Slowly, the events of the first half of the book begin to merge with Swagger's present history and stories that readers will recognize from Hunter's earlier novels. Swagger uncovers a deep connection between the Vietnam demonstrations of the 1970s, the predatory work of the CIA, and the killer who is after him and his family now. Nothing is as it first seems, and readers of Point of Impact and Black Light will have to revise all their expectations. --Patrick O'Kelley

Not only was the story great, but the reader (Beau Bridges) does an outstanding narrative. If you love to "get zoned out" while listening, this is one audiobook to add to your collection. I rented this about 4 different times before having to buy it. There are enough reviews about the book already on here, so I wont bore you with that, I just wanted to emphasize at the great job Bridges does reading and keeping your interest.

I read this book after having read Point of Impact twice as well as Dirty White Boys. So, I finally got the story of the famous one man who stopped a battalion of VC in "the Nam" and how ole Donny came to be lost the day before his "DEROS".
I found this book entertaining. Like other Hunter books he seems to know what he is talking about regarding firearms esp long range accurized center fire rifles. He either did very good research or has some experience. This is in stark contrast ... Read More

I was given this book in August of 2007 on a trip to Idaho. I sat and read most of it in a house among the alfalfa growing on the western flank of the Tetons. What a view. What a book. Since then, I have read 4 additional Hunter books [including the first three in the Bob Lee Swagger series - - Point of Impact, Dirty White Boys, and Black Light. Hunter weaves a story like few others can. The details, the visualizations, the retrospectives... very well done. I just love his work.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. This is a very exciting book and was extremely addictive. I have not read a fiction book in over 5 years, this was the first, and I read it in less than 2 days. I'm a shooter and it's great to read a book from someone who was a shooter/reloader.
I now plan to read every Bob Lee Swagger novel.

You can't put it down..then you reread it. I cried when Danny died. There isn't any character like like Bob Lee and especially in this book. I think he based Bob Lee on
Carlos Hathcock I could be wrong. Just read it and love it. Thank God for Stephen Hunter.
