About this audiobook
In the latest high-intensity thriller in the New York Times bestselling sniper series, Marine Gunnery Sergeant Kyle Swanson is sent into Pakistan, where an international team of medical workers has been executed in order to cover up a deadly terrorist secret.
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 Swanson and the 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?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5“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, 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 by 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.**This book was received for free through Goodreads First Reads. That in no way influenced my review.**
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A great book with well developed characters, plot, and story line that I could not stop reading. Fantastic all the way through.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I 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.
