From the coauthor of the #1 New York Times bestseller American Sniper comes a heart-pounding military thriller in which the fabled Special Ops unit is activated to stop a group of terrorists from launching “suitcase” nukes somewhere in America.
When Chechen terrorists manage to smuggle a Cold War–era Russian nuke across the Mexican-American border, the President is forced to reactivate the only unit capable of stopping them: Navy SEAL sniper Gil Shannon and his brash team of SEALs and Delta Force fighters. First introduced in Sniper Elite: One-Way Trip , hailed by Publishers Weekly as a “meaty thriller” with “snappy dialogue and well-timed humor,” Shannon and his team were run out of the military after defying direct orders and instead choosing to save the life of one of their own.
In Target America , Gil and his team, many of whom had gone rogue, are reunited as an off-the-books Special Ops unit that must race against the clock to save the country from nuclear destruction.
1 New York Times bestselling author Scott McEwen once again delivers a gripping and fast-paced adventure that illuminates the shadow world of clandestine military operations.

From Booklist
A suitcase nuclear weapon goes off in a tunnel between the U.S. and Mexican border, and chaos ensues in this latest Sniper Elite novel. Civil unrest and panic hit the streets, and the president feels he has no other choice but to recall back into service an elite unit he had disbanded. Gil Shannon and his team of misfits don’t have much time before a second device is set to go off. Can Shannon find his men and get them back into shape quickly so they can learn where the bomb is hidden and stop it in time? The authenticity of how the elite military operate while struggling with the political landscape of a democratic government propels the story. Shannon and his men seem like real people, warts and all. One hopes that this story will remain fiction. Fans of military thrillers should definitely give this title a shot. --Jeff Ayers
