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. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - BetterAfter the last stupid Samurai novel, it was hard to have any hope. But, I did. Bob the Nailer and Earl mean a lot to mean because I feel so close to them. This latest novel isn't the best, but it's better. I haven't finished the book yet because I'm trying to pace myself. One chapter a night. Maybe that says something important. I don't want it to end. Even if it's not what I had hoped for. At least Bob has guns again. Rating: - Night of ThunderNot Hunter's best. Loved Point of Impact and Time to Hunt. Have been disappointed in his books since. Think I will stay with the Vince Flynn books or try and get a hold of the old Matt Helm books. Rating: - Mr. Hunter's Aim Seems a Bit OffIn this latest addition to the Bob Lee Swagger series the ex-Marine's daughter has been run off the road in Bristol, Tennessee, and she is in a coma. Bob Lee is afraid that somebody may have tried to kill his daughter to get back at him for some of his past deeds. When Bob arrives in Bristol he begins poking around in his direct manner and finds that his daughter may have stumbled on some big conspiracy on her own. The bad guys decide they need to eliminate Bob Lee as well as his daughter. ... Read More Rating: - Decent book.. Others have commented extensively on this book, so to recite the plot is pointless at this time. This is a pretty good book,especially if you have been following the Bob Lee Swagger series. Hunter set the bar so high with his previous books that the tendency is to be overly critical of this one. A three-star rating is a fair one, but it is good to follow the career of Bob the Nailer. Worth buying if you're a fan. Rating: - Bob's BAAACKI also had problems with Hunter's last entry in the Swagger saga, and just had "problems" with a sword swinging Bob Lee, but it was still a good read. Happily, Bob the Nailer is back in "Night of Thunder". While not quite up to some of the last entries, it does bring us back the Bob we all love...the gunfighter. And Bob does it so well. With a host of a vicious but not too smart criminal family, Bob has his work cut out for him. You'd think that coming from the same general ... Read More
