Military thriller: If suitcase nuke exploded at U.S. border

Truth is just as strange as fiction, as the recent U.S. release of five key Taliban figures closely mirrors the plot line of Scott McEwen’s new novel, “Target America: A Sniper Elite Novel,” which suggests the consequences of such a move could be calamitous within our own borders.

McEwen is a prolific author, known best for co-writing the best-selling “American Sniper” alongside famed military sniper and U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle. “American Target” is the latest in McEwen’s Sniper Elite series. He also co-authored the nonfiction work “Eyes on Target,” which chronicles the Benghazi terrorist attack and the raid that killed Osama bin Laden and how he believes the Obama administration poorly served Navy SEALs in both events.
