“Point of Impact” by Stephen Hunter is a gripping novel that immerses readers into the high-stakes world of a lone sniper caught in a deadly conspiracy. The cover of the book immediately sets the tone, with its bold, red and black design and the image of a sniper peering through the crosshairs of a rifle. The quote at the top promises “suspense that will wire you to your chair,” a claim that the narrative more than lives up to.
