FROM AMAZON: It took 10 seconds for Web London to lose everything: his friends, his team, his reputation. Point man of the FBI's super-elite Hostage Rescue Team, Web roared into a blind alley toward a drug-dealer's lair only to meet a high-tech, custom-designed ambush that killed everyone around him.
Now coping with the blame-filled words of anguished widows and the suspicions of colleagues, Web tries to put his life back together with the help of his psychiatrist, Dr. Claire Daniels. To do so he must discover why he was the one man who lived through the ambush - and find the only other person who came out of that alley alive...a 10-year-old boy who has since disappeared.
Web's search leads him from inner-city Washington, DC, to the rolling hills of Virginia horse country - while people connected to him are violently silenced. Acting on his instincts, Web believes he knows where the killer will strike next. Only this time, he may not survive the attack.
Last Man Standing is an explosive psychological thriller about a man desperate to find answers - from the secret terrors he has kept from himself to his unbearable guilt. His fight to save himself and those he cares for will come at a high cost...and threaten everything he has grown to believe in.
Last Man Standing takes a long time of plowing through many chapters before the characters and situations make any sense. It is a very long book. The book is in a thriller. Eventually everything comes together but it just takes too long. The end of the book is good even though we, the readers, are left hanging as to the characters lives; probably because the author is contemplating making a sequel. Four stars were awarded here but it takes a very long time to reach the good stuff in this story. ( )
I thought this book would be a war story, but it wasn't. It's an intricately crafted story about the FBI's finest—the HRT, Hostage Rescue Team—and the extraordinary men that rise above the fittest of the fit to hold back the forces of evil that threaten society around the world. Web London is one of these men. Web survived a horrific childhood to become an elite fighter for the good guys. Then, when his entire team is ambushed during a mission, Web mysteriously survives only to find himself now fighting for his reputation. Expertly crafted, this story of drug dealers, murderers, and worse, weaves a picture of devastating treachery, profound bravery, and fulfilling commitment. Fast action, great characters, and plot twists made this book entertaining and worthwhile. ( )
