If you like sniper-based high voltage action, with a real tough-guy hero, then I can heartily recommend Stephen Hunter's books.

Orlok. No kidding. You and I are becoming fast friends indeed.
Stephen Hunter is one of my fave thriller writers. Period. I have been with Hunter since he first broke out with, not with Point of Impact, but with Day Before Midnight from the late 80s as I recall.
Brilliant IMO.
The Swagger series/character is so memorable. Pity, the Marky Mark movie Sniper was just "meh".
FWIW, I highly recommend Hunter for all fans of quality thriller writing.
