Published by Baen, but not Science Fiction or Fantasy, Target Terror is three novels sold as one volume. Each is about an anti-terrorist mission by a pair of US Army snipers, Monroe and Wade. I bought it partly to read about snipers, and partly as a cheap way to buy a lot of entertaining fiction. What little there is about sniping mostly just confirms the description of the life of a sniper as "worst camping trip ever", but I don't feel short-changed, as the novels are good stories of adventurous travel under very rough conditions in Afghanistan/Pakistan, Romania, and Indonesia respectively, with each situation and mission different enough to not feel repetitive.
