Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Near the start of Hunter's cartoonish fifth Bob Lee Swagger thriller (after The 47th Samurai), Nikki Swagger, the series hero's journalist daughter, is seriously injured when a hit man runs her car off the road in Tennessee hill country. Despite Swagger's fears that the legion of enemies he's made over the years are responsible for the attack, the former marine leaves Nikki vulnerable to another attempt on her life in the hospital where she's being treated—an attempt foiled only by chance in the nick of time. Such plot-driven implausibilities are rampant as Swagger investigates his daughter's recent assignments, which lead him to drug-running along the Tennessee-Virginia border and to a NASCAR event. At the violence-filled conclusion, one of the supporting characters, in keeping with the book's overall arms-length relationship with realism, says, In some perverted way, I think everybody who didn't die or lose their business kind of enjoyed it. Hunter fans may feel similarly. (Sept.)

Product Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR STEPHEN HUNTER RETURNS WITH HIS MOST RIVETING BOB LEE SWAGGER VOLUME TO DATE.

Talk about a ride!

Woe unto he who crosses Bob Lee Swagger, especially when his daughter's life is at stake. Forced off the road and into a crash that leaves her in a coma, clinging to life, reporter Nikki Swagger had begun to peel back the onion of a Southernfried conspiracy bubbling with all the angst, resentment, and dysfunction that Dixie gangsters can muster. An ancient, violent crime clan, a possibly corrupt law enforcement structure, gunmen of all stripes and shapes, and deranged evangelicals rear their ugly heads and will live to rue the day they targeted the wrong man's daughter. It's what you call your big-time bad career move. All of it is set against the backdrop of excitement and insanity that only a weeklong NASCAR event can bring to the backwoods of a town as seemingly sleepy as Bristol, Tennessee.

A master at the top of his game, Hunter provides a host of thrilling new reasons to read as fast as we can. When Swagger picks up peeling where his daughter left off, and his swift sword of justice is let loose, we find a true American hero in his most stunning action to date. And -- in the form of Brother Richard, a self-decreed "Sinnerman" out of the old fire-and-brimstone tradition -- Hunter offers up his most diabolical, engaging villain yet. A triumph of story, character, and style, Night of Thunder is Stephen Hunter at his very best.

1.0 out of 5 stars Just One Question..., Nov 1 2009
By Bruce Everitt (Edmonton, AB, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have just one question.......who wrote this book? I have been a fan of Stephen Hunter since 'The Master Sniper' and the Bob Lee Swagger character is one of the best ongoing characters in fiction, however there's just no possible way that Stephen Hunter could have written this truly terrible book. The Bob Lee series has been amazing throughout (although 'The 47th Samurai' was a bit of a stretch in plausability but was still extremely entertaining and the essence of the Bob Lee character endured) but this one however is neither plausible, charming or entertaining, it's just awful. Unfortunately I am also a NASCAR fan, which only makes this NASCAR centred story even more ridiculous due to the either minimal or hugely flawed research done by Mr. Hunter on the topic, but that would be forgivable if the rest of the story met his previous high standards. The worst crime of this book though is not the inaccuracies or implausible plot or the ridiculous characters, it's simply that Mr. Hunter has lost touch with the Bob Lee character. If you're a Hunter/Bob Lee Swagger fan then skip this book and hope that 'I, Sniper' redeems the series. If you've never read a Hunter/Bob Lee book, do not start with this one, pick up 'Point of Impact' and enjoy a wonderful, complex and entertaining series of books.
