Kyle Swanson Sniper #5
Running the Maze
In the aftermath of great floods, a doctor on a relief mission in northeastern Pakistan discovers the remains of a collapsed bridge that reminds him of a bridge near his childhood home in Ohio. He snaps a cellphone picture and sends it to his sister—just before his entire team is slaughtered. His sister is Beth Ledford, a Coast Guard sniper, who suspects that the answer to the mystery of her brother's death is in that cellphone picture. No one believes her until she finds Kyle Swanson, once the top sniper in the Marine Corps and now the key member of a secret special operations team known as Task Force Trident. When Kyle takes Beth into Pakistan to investigate, they find the true secret behind the mass murder—what may be the last, best hope of victory by al-Qaeda and the Taliban over allied forces. Now the two snipers have their sights set on one man, an American diplomat who has become the biggest obstacle to victory in the war on terror. The only question is: which of them gets to pull the trigger?

A doctors without borders type goes on a hike in Pakistan, sending his sister a picture of a flooded bridge. After which, he is executed by terrorists. Said sister just happens to be a sniper in the Coast Guard. She follows up, trying to find help, which eventually leads her to Kyle Swanson.
Swanson spends most of the time acting like a jerk. He gets sent with the sniper to find out what's what, and finds a secret underground base at the site of the bridge.
Some exciting parts, but Swanson was not at all likable here.

I won and advanced reader copy of this book from Library Thing. I have never read any books by this author and I liked this book a lot. The author has an impeccable record in the military and the book was very nail biting to read, a high intensity, faced-pace thriller. I liked the characters in the book and how the author’s use of his own military background helped to shape the characters. I have never read a military fiction book, always non-fiction, but found myself thinking I was reading non-fiction. I would recommend this book to anybody who likes the military thriller genera.

“Running the Maze” by Jack Coughlin is not a novel that I thought I would enjoy reading. Much to my surprise, I found myself caught up in the story as soon as I started reading it and couldn’t put it down. It is the story of a Coast Guard sniper, Beth Ledford, and a Special Agent, Kyle Swanson, who need to team up and find out what was happening in Pakistan. Beth’s brother, a doctor on a medical relief mission in Pakistan, is killed due to something he saw. Beth is determined to find out what was so important that her brother needed to be murdered to keep it secret.
The author keeps the book moving at a quick pace. His characters are well fleshed out and believable. I also liked getting a glimpse inside Pakistan and who the new leader of Al-Qaeda would be and what type of fortress he would live in.
Gunnery Sgt. Jack Coughlin does a great job delivering a very realistic story, with believable characters, and never a dull moment! Although this is not a book I would typically buy, I can see myself eagerly purchasing other books from this author.

A military thriller which could have been taken straight out of today's headlines. Fast paced, action-packed, yet believable. Even if military thrillers are not your "cup of tea", this is a book which can be enjoyed by anyone who simply likes a good story.

Loved the book and it introduced (I hope) another actor in the mix. A fun book if one enjoys this type of book. The writing is very good and enjoyable.

“Running the Maze” a high-octane thriller begins when a medical team on an aid mission to Pakistan are butchered. Before his death, Dr. Joey Ledford sends a cellphone picture to his sister Coast Guard sniper Beth Ledford of a collapsed bridge that resembles one from their childhood which she suspects holds the key to her brother’s mysterious death. With no one willing to believe her and probe into the murders, Beth turns for help to Marine Lieutenant Colonel Sybelle Summers the Operations Officer for Task Force Trident, and is quickly swept up in an investigation with the team’s key operator Kyle Swanson.
Intensity and suspense escalate after Beth and Kyle are attacked while training on the supposedly secure grounds of Quantico and he’s targeted by professional hitmen not far from his apartment. Fast-paced and cleverly structured the action mounts when the two snipers go to Pakistan on a reconnaissance mission uncovering secrets hidden in an underground bunker built by a mad scientist. Gripping from start to finish Jack Coughlin and Donald A. Davis weave compelling subplots into the story with a Mars mission and the revenge of an American diplomat.
Pretty, confident and fearless Coast Guard Sniper Beth Ledford is the “sure shot” who is suspicious of the circumstances surrounding her brother’s death. At first, she clashes constantly with Swanson only to eventually admire his skill, protect his back and become a friend. Initially Sergeant Kyle Swanson the key operator for Task Force Trident is cold, brusque and condescending towards Beth until he realizes her value to the team and to their operation. It is the personalities of these key characters and a multiple of others that add heart-pounding tension and excitement to a crisis that has Beth and Swanson facing death at every turn, and headed towards an explosive ending.
I thoroughly enjoyed “Running the Maze”, a military thrill-ride that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the end. A favorite with my book club I won’t hesitate to look for other books in this series

I got a little out of order last year and read the 6th book in this series. Now I am caught up. I have book 7 in my Kindle list of books TBR. I really enjoy this special operator type action and Kyle seems to be at the top of his game. I think this series is up to 10 books at least. So far, all pretty good action reads.

The fifth in the series to feature sniper Kyle Swanson working for a small Government black ops team. In this book, he teams up with a female Coastguard sniper to investigate dodgy happenings around a new bridge in Pakistan.
It’s an odd book, somewhat spoilt by a couple of farfetched plot lines but there are also some good bits. It starts off well with a medical team getting wiped out near the bridge, sufficient characterisation that we actually care about them and regret their passing. But it is Swanson himself that is given the least character, perhaps intended to be stoic, but ended up as being slightly bullying and unlikeable. So a mixed bag on characterisation, and a strange blend of plot. A bridge with hidden secrets, a mad engineer and a sub plot about a Mars mission. It does stretch the imagination too far and the logic does not really work. Perhaps it is the balance, too much thrown at the plot and not enough at the characterisation and this ends up being a bit of an average and puzzling contribution to the series.

I won this as a first read. Really do not read military thrillers. Did find this a interesting read. Right out of the pages of life today. The book is well written and the characters are very true to life.
This is military thriller with a lot of face pace to it and many twist that gives you a heart stopping thrill.
You will find yourself kept guessing and asking question. We are following to military snipers sent in to find out what happen to a medical team that was executed and what a picture holds to all of this. The pictues was sent to the sister of a Marine Gunnery Sergent just before the team was killed. Why where they killed? What secrets are being covered.
It is a book that is hard to put down.
A good book for people that like a good military fiction.

I won this book in a Goodreads 'first-reads' giveaway. When I first began the book I thought it might be a real...kind of a 'deep, too much military type jargon' type deal, & I wasn't too sure I'd be able to get into it. I am happy to report that was not to be the case! I found that it turned out to be quite a 'cat & mouse' plot, & kept the reader interested. There was alot of military in it...& it was really good, actually. So I found myself to be pleasantly surprised & enjoyed the book. I may actually look into the previous books in this series!

Took a bit long for the action to perk up. Then it peaked a bit early. And the ending was predictable.
Still, it was a decent read. The concept and threat were interesting. And the action, when it finally started, was well-done. But I'd recommend the first book in this series. T'was much better.

An entertaining "elite SEAL" story that doesn't get hung up on a lot of unbelievable stunts and endless array of acronyms. I found "Running the Maze" to be a suspenful, action-packed tale that kept me in a non-stop reading mode. Very pleased to have won this ARC through Goodread's giveaway site.

I really enjoyed this book. I received as a Goodreads Advanced Readers Copy. The story was true to life and felt like something that could potentially happen in today's crazy world. I look forward to more books from Jack Coughlin and Donald Davis.

Op negentienjarige leeftijd besloot Jack Coughlin om bij de mariniers dienst te nemen. Hier was hij scherpschutter, nam deel aan diverse operaties over de hele wereld en werd uitgezonden naar Bagdad, waar hij tijdens de Irakoorlog aanwezig was bij de vernietiging van het standbeeld van Saddam Hoessein. Hier werd hij eveneens gedecoreerd met de Bronze Star vanwege zijn getoonde moed. Na zijn terugkeer uit Irak verliet Coughlin de mariniers. In 2005 kwam Shooter, een autobiografie over zijn ervaringen in Irak, uit. Dit boek schreef hij samen met Donald A. Davis, een auteur die medeverantwoordelijk was voor zijn latere thrillerdebuut Kill Zone, het eerste deel uit de Sniper-serie. In 2017 kwam het zesde deel, Het doolhof, uit.
Het noordoosten van Pakistan wordt geteisterd door overstromingen waardoor een groot deel van de bevolking opgevangen moest worden in een vluchtelingenkamp. Een van de hulpverlenende artsen heeft in de nabijheid van dat kamp de restanten van een ingestorte brug ontdekt. Omdat dit hem herinnerde aan een brug in Ohio, waar hij is opgegroeid, heeft hij er een aantal foto's van gemaakt die hij vervolgens naar zijn zus, Beth Ledford, doorstuurde. Niet veel later wordt hij, samen met zijn teamleden, dood aangetroffen. Beth is ervan overtuigd dat de dood van haar broer met de foto te maken heeft. Generaal Middleton, leider van het Special Operations Team is de enige die haar gelooft en samen met Kyle Swanson vertrekt ze naar Pakistan om dit te onderzoeken. Eenmaal ter plekke komen ze tot een schokkende ontdekking.
Ondanks dat het verhaal origineel en ook eigenlijk ook wel actueel getint is (de overstroming in Pakistan, het vluchtelingenkamp en de moord op hulpverleners), krijg je als lezer aanvankelijk wel het gevoel dat Het doolhof een boek is als vele andere in zijn soort. Er zijn er immers al genoeg geschreven over de inzet van speciale en geheime operatie-eenheden in het buitenland. Toch heeft dit boek bij nader inzien wel een andere insteek en is het niet identiek aan al die andere actiethrillers. Dit is mede een gevolg van het gekozen thema, maar ook door een van de personages waar Beth en Kyle mee te maken krijgen.
Dat personage is er overigens ook verantwoordelijk voor dat het verhaal, dat over het algemeen vrij realistisch is, een aantal onwerkelijke en daardoor ongeloofwaardige situaties kent. Want een gerespecteerd ingenieur die bij tijd en wijle verandert in een duivel en in die hoedanigheid mensen vermoordt, kan onmogelijk tot de verbeelding spreken. Toch maakt dit personage het geheel er wel interessanter en boeiender op waardoor het geen standaardverhaal over een zoveelste militaire missie wordt. Dat is misschien maar goed ook, omdat het anders een erg vlak verhaal zou zijn geweest.
Aanvankelijk lijkt het erop dat het een stroef en wat moeilijk leesbaar verhaal gaat worden, maar na een paar hoofdstukken begint het te lopen en daarmee wordt het wel een stuk aangenamer om te lezen.
Dat neemt echter niet weg dat het boek ook een aantal saaie en minder aansprekende gedeelten heeft. De lezer vraag zich dan wellicht af of het niet beter was geweest die delen weg te laten. Nee, is dan het antwoord. Want hoe saai het ook is, het hoort wél bij het verhaal. Dit geldt eveneens voor de soms mooi geformuleerde zinnen. Komen deze ook in de oorspronkelijke uitgave voor of zijn het wellicht vondsten van vertaler Joost Zwart?
Het doolhof is in feite voor een militaire actiethriller, maar verwacht niet dat gevechten en achtervolgingen de overhand hebben. Pas op tweederde van het boek komt hier de nadruk op te liggen. Dan neemt het tempo toe en wordt het meteen interessanter. Dat is echter te laat om het boek boven het gemiddelde uit te laten stijgen. Coughlin moet daarom nog veel werk verzetten om zich te kunnen meten met de meeste andere auteurs in zijn genre.

A new Author for me.
Well, it was loaded with action and a few surprises. But could use some better proofreading, several grammatical errors and double words. For anyone who is from the Washington DC area, they would recognize some of the geographical errors, like being able to smell the Chesapeake bay from there or a “casual drive from DC to Williamsburg, Va. for a drinking party at a bar there”. Also, was wondering why some of the bad guys were killed earlier probably because there were so many, lol.

I like these Swanson books a lot - but not enough to keep them in my collection. They are good books, but I would not reread one. I look forward to reading more exploits of Swanson and the Trident team. At least this book explained sorta what happened to the women in Swanson's life and it makes sense. For someone working in this black of an outfit, personal relationships are going to be very difficult.

Not all that entertaining. The main storyline about a secret military base would normally be a subplot in novels by other authors of this genre. The subplot in this one should have been about capturing terrorist "Charlie Brown" but instead was some nonsense about getting rid of a wife by blowing up a space shuttle. This entire effort had a paint by numbers feel to it so it was difficult to maintain interest.
December 24, 2019
I was a little disappointed to read some political bias creep into the Swanson verse, but overall, just what I was looking for in a modern adventure shoot'em up. By this point, if you've read 4 of the Swansonverse novels you know what you're reading. Well, thought out plot, GOOD guys, BAD guys and you know which will win. Definitely recommended if you like these kinds of novels. Good stuff, Maynard!

Another great Kyle Swanson novel. The Marine sniper is working with a colleague from the US Coast Guard to infiltrate a structure in Pakistan built to house the commander of a Middle Eastern terrorism faction. Fast-paced, exciting and full of tradecraft. Coughlin and Davis get better with every entry in this series.
March 16, 2019
This is a good fast paced thriller that follows Kyle Swanson as he has to baby site a Coast Guard sniper whose brother stumbled on a secret in the depths of Pakistan, a secret that got him and his team killed. The implications of this secret is quickly apparant as Swanson and his team is targeted at home and abroad by those motivated by power, money and good old fashioned revenge.

I don't understand why people didn't like this book. It's an entertaining fictional book. It has some silly statements like, "blood surged through his veins!" Isn't blood supposed to surge through your veins?
But it's fiction.
Entertaining fiction at that.

Another good book by Coughlin. A genius sets up a fortress in Pakistan that can be defended by one person with a network of computers. It is accidentally discovered by a medical team that is slaughtered.

This book was absolutely fantastic. It satisfies my desire for action while having a moderately complex plot that is very fun to follow. You have to get through the plot set up at the beginning. It is a lot to take in so it helps to pay attention at the beginning.

Excellent book. Non stop action and a pretty you young sniper. What more can you ask for

Loved it!

Boy was this book ever full of excitement. And was it ever good.

Enjoyed this read, will see if there are more in the series

This book had a different structure to it. No James Bond supervillain, and it takes a while for the threads to come together. no James Bond supervillain, but another James Bon Girl.

Another great book in the Kyle Swanson Sniper Series
May 11, 2012
I was lucky enough to win this great book in one of the give away's. I was slightly skeptical for a few reasons. 1: My last experience with a give-away was not so great and 2: this is not typically the type of book I enjoy.
Let me just say that this book made me take it to work and other places just because I wanted to continue to read it. Kyle Swanson (one of the main chars) was very well evolved throughout the book and would definitely be someone that I would enjoy reading more about. Think Dirk Pitt in the Clive Cussler series or Jack Clark (aka Mr. C) in some Tom Clancy thrillers. I don't want to write too much about the story itself for fear of giving anything away but the "bad guy" in the story is slightly obvious but his cohorts make for an interesting read. I truly enjoyed this book, and I am hoping Coughlin will write more, if he hasn't already, about Swanson and his team.
Side note, the cover of the book I was reading was slightly different, a co-worker of mine saw the picture of the M-4 with the built on silencer on it and he instantly was curious. He said the picture of the weapon was an exact copy of the ones he used as a Ranger in Afghanistan and Iraq. Gunnery Sgt. Coughlin knows his stuff.
