Sniper's Day is the fifth installment in The Ro Delahanty Series by Dave Lager. Trained in the Air Force's Counter Sniper School in Arkansas, Airman First Class Wade Meese was stationed at the Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan. His mission was to eliminate enemy targets in places where US forces had no jurisdiction. With over 80 kills around his belt, Meese earned the nickname of Skassa, i.e., ghost, from the Taliban opium smugglers. However, a particular mission in Tajikistan lands him directly into a trap set by the Russians, and he barely comes out alive, sacrificing one of his legs. Despite his promotion and return home, Meese itches for the warrior's way to go out and sets up an ultimate confrontation with Corporal Ro Delahanty of the Deputy Sheriff's Department in Iowa. But Ro has other plans.

Sniper's Day is an edge-of-your-seat thriller you will struggle to put down until you finish reading. Action-packed and filled with suspense and intrigue, Dave Lager delivers a spectacular military-action story that has you hooked throughout. Lager moves the plot briskly and divides the narrative into three timelines, following the evolution of the main characters throughout the years. Meese is a riveting antagonist. He's an introverted veteran struggling to adjust to civilian life, and Lager captures his essence perfectly. I liked the contrast between Meese's and Ro's personalities. Overall, Sniper's Day is a book that military thriller fans are guaranteed to love. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will gladly recommend it.
