Summary: A great read if some parts could be deleted or revised!
Review: This is a great book with great scenario. Thayer tried very hard as his THE PURSUIT, and became mature a lot! A lonely human hunter against a twist-minded head hunter. Great shooting scenes even better than Hunter's POINT OF IMPACT(his only good one so far). But Thayer needs to replace his editors to make him even greater. Here are some parts that should be deleted or shortened as much as possible:1)Page 81~82's 1/2 page:Delete! 2)Page214~217 completely delete! 3)P.219 delete the first upper paragraph; 4)page220,delete "What's in it?" Coates asked...to "not bad." it's meaningless blabs! 5)Completely delete page237~248's first upper para.;6)revised P.267,since it was ridiculous that how could the so experienced Russian guy not noticed? 7)Check P.280 & P.335, if the Right arm is right; and the middle para.of P.335., it seems wrong. 8)Most important, please revise the scene when these guys stormed that house whose owner was absent. That scene was so poorly constructed that leaked like sift! Other than these shortcomings, this could be included in my MUST READ AND MUST KEEP LIST!!!

Summary: White Star
Review: This was a very well written book, and I enjoyed every moment of reading it. Very suspenseful, and very well written. I have read several of your other books, such as 5 Past Midnight, and I belive White Star was one of your best, and it is my personal favorite

Summary: Fantastic! Would be even Great if edited better.
Review: Want to know how juicy the sniping is? This is the one in addition to all of Stephen Hunter's "Earl Swagger Saga". I'v translated this one into Chinese and have published it in Taiwan. During the translation, I've found lot of mistakes, draggings, holes of this book, but I would not blame Mr. Thayer but his not so qualified editor, because those mistakes were just how incompetent the editor was who should not have paired with a great writer. Mr. Thayer has proved himself a multi-layer, multi-dimentional most talented writer and he's continuedly improved himself during the Odyssy of his story tellings and would not border or bond himself in a narrow and small territory. This is one of the books that I've collected and strongly recommanded to others.

Summary: An insightful thriller that delivers a stunning climax.
Review: White Star is a first rate action tale that plunges into the psyche of the military sniper, and the special skills that are required to be the best. Owen Gray is a legendary sniper who made a name for himself in the Vietman War. Now, as an assistant state attorney in New York, he's put his past behind him, along with a dark secret. Gray is drawn back into his former profession, when bodies begin falling around him as the result of a very efficient sniper. With the help of an NYPD detective, and a beautiful FBI agent, Gray realizes that the sniper, a renegade Russian, is drawing him into a one-on-one duel. Gray must not only confront the Russian sniper, but his own personal demons as well. Mr. Thayer has crafted an engrossing story with rich characters, and a description of the climactic confrontation that will have you smelling pine needles, hearing the wind as it wafts through the forest, and cringing as bullets whiz by your head. This is grand story telling in the tradition of Alistair MacLean. You will not only enjoy White Star, you'll savor it.

Summary: A well-researched thriller
Review: White Star is definitely one of the great masterpieces of literature. The way Thayer describes every tiny aspect of sniping in full detail amazed me. I've found a new favorite book.
