Overview

What will you do...?

The Sniper is a sensational short story (12,000 words or about 36 pages) featuring the central character from Mark Chisnell’s ‘Janac’s Games’ thrillers; The Defector and The Wrecking Crew.

An empty clearing in the Vietnamese jungle in 1969. An explosive, complex and compromised war rages to the north and south, to the east and the west. Two men come to the clearing with a simple task in mind – to kill a man. A man who wants to visit his girl.

A simple task made dangerous and ultimately deadly by a startling intervention. Soon, US Marine Corps sniper, Paul Robert Janac has to look deep inside to survive a pulse-pounding jungle manhunt that will leave him with a life-or-death choice. So what will he do, when...

This is the first of several stories that will follow Janac’s progress from the Vietnam War to drug trade dominance, to the place where we meet him in The Defector – these stories are the origins of Janac’s Games.

If you’re one of the hundreds of thousands of people that have enjoyed The Defector and The Wrecking Crew, then you won’t want to miss the moment when it all begins to unravel for a good and decent soldier.

And if you haven’t yet read the ‘Janac’s Games’ books, this is a great place to start...

An excellent drug-smuggling thriller.

This is a remarkable thriller - chillingly violent, full of tension and with a very original ending.
