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 <I>somebody</I> 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 <I>Point of Impact</I> 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 <I>Point of Impact</I> and <I>Black Light</I> will have to revise all their expectations. <I>--Patrick O'Kelley</I> 3871 1998 Time To Hunt (Bob Lee Swagger, #3) total:329|5:116|4:128|3:72|2:12|1:1| 329 1333 412 17 5 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2000 Thu Dec 11 20:06:42 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 11 20:06:42 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Sep 25 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 26 09:31:06 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 26 10:13:40 -0700 2008
The opening of the book annoyed me with it's cliffhanger opening with Bob Lee apparently being killed. Then it switches to 1971 and Bob Lee's spotter Donny Fenn.

The characters are more fully developed, and you get a real glimpse into what made Bob Lee.
