Stephen Hunter’s shorter fiction includes Stephen Longacre’s Greatest Match (2014) and Citadel (2016). These works let Hunter tell stories in a more compact format than his full-length novels, though they share the same attention to period detail and military knowledge.
Citadel is set during World War II and reflects Hunter’s interest in the era that also produced his Earl Swagger novels and standalone titles like The Master Sniper and Basil’s War. The novella format gives him space to develop a complete story without the subplots and sprawl of a full novel.
