The Scope of JusticeWithin a military that prides teamwork, strength in numbers, and camaraderie, the sniper is the outlier. The loner. The specialist whose talent can mean the difference between mission success and disaster. And often between life and death. Kyle Monroe is one of this exclusive fraternity. Recovering from a mission gone disastrously wrong, Monroe is paired with new partner Wade Curtis and dispatched to Pakistan, where he’s been instructed to take out a prominent member of al Qaeda. But the local tribe to which he’s assigned wants to use his deadly skills to settle a private war with a neighboring tribe. If Monroe and his partner want to get out of Pakistan alive, they will have to rely on their skills, their experience—and the unrelenting drive of those who are called to be the best of the best in a lethal occupation. Targets of OpportunityMaster snipers Kyle Monroe and Wade Curtis got more than they bargained for on assignment to Pakistan to take out a powerful terrorist chieftain. Now they find themselves in Romania, in a densely packed urban environment, and in hidden tunnels beneath a legendary castle. Here they stalk a terror cell that is smuggling explosives across the Black Sea into Europe. Romania may have a legacy of horror, but Vlad the Impaler has nothing on these terrorist murderers. Fortunately, there are a couple of expert shooters on the side of the angels, and their names are Monroe and Curtis!Confirmed KillArmy Rangers Kyle Monroe and Wade Curtis are the best at what they do: eliminating their nation’s enemies from a distance with one well-placed bullet to the head. When intelligence catches wind of a terrorist plot unfolding in the jungles of Indonesia, Monroe and Curtis are the snipers assigned to take the killers out. Failure is not an option, since al Qaeda-linked fanatics plan to blow an oil-rich province sky high, taking hundreds of innocent lives, many of them American. But the military brass is saddling their operatives with unnecessary and potentially lethal baggage—an overweight, under-trained colonel whose ineptitude could prove disastrous. And when their mission goes all to hell, two crack snipers are suddenly transformed into targets caught out in the open—facing an army of terrorist murderers pouring out of the trees and with nowhere to run.
