And Publishers Weekly says….
Bestseller Hunter keeps Bob Lee Swagger, his home-spun, hard-charging hero, doing what Swagger does best in his sixth novel to feature the former Marine sniper: thwarting the authorities, staying loyal to a disappearing code of honor and hunting down evildoers who deserve everything they get. When a sniper shoots dead Joan Flanders (think Jane Fonda) and three other victims associated with the 1960s peace movement, the FBI decides the killer is “the most famous sniper in America,” Carl Hitchcock, who’s gone nuts and decided to up his total number of kills. Swagger soon realizes that Hitchcock, a fellow ex-Marine and Vietnam vet, is innocent, while the real killer, who’s using cutting-edge, electronic sniper gear, is still at large. After two inferior Bob Lee Swagger books, The 47th Samurai (2007) and Night of Thunder (2008), Hunter is back at the top of his game. He’s the best on the subject of guns and what damage bullets can do to human flesh.
I, Sniper is scheduled for release in January 2010.

This seriously sounds awesome. I like the new title(I, Swagger) and I don’t mind the extra wait(January now) because it sounds amazing and worth the wait. Although, I didn’t think The 47th Samurai was inferior. I thought it was one of Hunter’s best. I did have problems with Night of Thunder, though, but still enjoyed it.

Wtf!? Did the name change back to I, Sniper or was I just crazy and thought it’s title had changed to I, Swagger?

Might’ve been me. My imagination may have come up with “I, Swagger” or it might have been some kind of early working title from over a year back, in an email from The Author. I will take the blame – the book is definitely called “I, Sniper.”

okay. for some reason my mind made the change that first time. Gotta admit though: I, Swagger would be a sick title. Alothough I can live with I, Sniper.
