I only realized after I finished the book that there is a previous novel about this character, so clearly you don't need to start with #1.
It starts out very much like Ringo's Kildar series in which John Harmon, a very capable soldier, happens to be in either the wrong place or exactly the right place when someone decides to break all the rules.
In Hunter's book also a meglomaniac decides to amuse himself by breaking rules and killing people...but he didn't plan to run into Ray Cruz.

From back cover: 10,000 people jam the corridors of Americas largest shopping mall. 9,988 of them have come to shop. The other twelve have come to kill. Stephen Hunters hyperdrive, eighth-gear thriller chronicles the day when the unthinkable happens: terrorists descend upon the heartland, opening fire in a Minneapolis supermall and executing innocent victims one by one.
Those on the upper floors, including retired Marine sniper Ray Cruz, take cover any way they can, but within minutes the gunmen have rounded up more than a thousand hostages. As it so often does, the story comes down to one man with a gun.
Except Ray doesnt have a gun.
