Ground-breaking, thrilling and revealing, The Reaper is the
astonishing memoir of Special Operations Direct Action Sniper
Nicholas Irving, the 3rd Ranger Battalion's deadliest sniper with
33 confirmed kills, though his remarkable career total, including
probable, is unknown. In the bestselling tradition of American
Sniper and Shooter, Irving shares the true story of his
extraordinary career, including his deployment to Afghanistan in
the summer of 2009, when he set another record, this time for enemy
kills on a single deployment. His teammates and chain of command
labelled him "The Reaper," and his actions on the battlefield
became the stuff of legend, culminating in an extraordinary
face-off against an enemy sniper known simply as The Chechnian.
Irving's astonishing first-person account of his development into
an expert assassin offers a fascinating and extremely rare View of
special operations combat missions through the eyes of a Ranger
sniper during the Global War on Terrorism. From the brotherhood and
sacrifice of teammates in battle to the cold reality of taking a
life to protect another, no other book dives so deep inside the
life of a sniper on point.
Read some of the most breath taking missions and engagements Sgt.
Nicholas Irving, 3rd Ranger Battalions deadliest sniper had to
face. Sgt. Nicholas Irving is credited with over 33 kills (less
than 3 months) in Afghanistan as a Special Operations Direct Action
Sniper. Simply riveting as he describes some of his kills through
his eyes.
From the legendary special operations sniper and New York Times
bestselling author of The Reaper comes a rare and powerful book on
the art of being a sniper. Way of the Reaper is a step- by-step
accounting of how a sniper works, through the lens of Irving's most
significant missions - none of which have been told before. Each
mission is an in-depth look at a new element of eliminating the
enemy, from intel to luck, recon to weaponry. Told in a thrilling
narrative, this is also a heart-pounding true story of some of The
Reaper's boldest missions including the longest shot of his career
on a human target of over half a mile. In Iraq and Afghanistan,
Nick Irving earned his nickname in blood, destroying the enemy with
his sniper rifle and in deadly firefights behind a .50 caliber
machine gun. He engaged a Taliban suicide bomber during a vicious
firefight, used nearly silent sub-sonic ammo, and was the target of
snipers himself. Way of the Reaper attempts to place the reader in
the heat of battle, experiencing the same dangers, horrors and acts
of courage Irving faced as an elite member of the 3rd Ranger
Battalion. Readers will experience the dangers that all snipers
must face, while learning what it takes to come an elite man
hunter. Like the Reaper himself, this explosive book blazes new
territory and takes no prisoners.
