Best-selling author Brad Thor has crafted a must-read blockbuster featuring hard-nosed U.S. anti-terrorist agent Scot Harvath. Fiendish al-Qaeda terrorists are planning to rescue their imprisoned WMD expert during the chaos they create with their July 4th destruction of all bridges and tunnels to Manhattan. Now it's up to ex-SEAL Harvath to stop the evil-doers -- and neutralize the diabolical three-foot-tall villain known as "The Troll" who supplies their intelligence.

The four dead guards didn’t concern Mitch Rapp as much as the absence of the man they’d been paid to protect. Joe Rickman wasn’t just another foot soldier. For the last eight years Rickman had ran the CIA’s clandestine operations in Afghanistan. It was a murky job that involved working with virtually every disreputable figure in the Islamic Republic. More than a quarter billion dollars in cash had passed through Rickman’s hands during his tenure as the master of black ops and no one with a shred of sense wanted to know the details of how that money had been spent.

Would you listen to The Last Man again? Why?

As a rule I would not listen to an entire book a second time. But with really good authors like this one, I will go back after listening to a portion and re-listen to a specific section. Flynn takes you on a journey and you can miss some turns the first time down the road.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Rapp and Kennedy, both great characters. Also enjoy the rough edge of Hurley. Vince Flynn works these characters together nicely and Guidall brings them to life.

Which character – as performed by George Guidall – was your favorite?

Hurley

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, I like the pleasure to last longer than one sitting.

Any additional comments?

Mitch Rapp, fantastic series. I hope it continues soon.

Would you try another book from Dick Couch and George Galdorisi and/or Steven Weber?

Very technical for me. Too much description and not enough action.

Would you recommend Tom Clancy Presents: Act of Valor to your friends? Why or why not?

no, sorry fans. Thought I would try Clancy but not a fan.

Did Tom Clancy Presents: Act of Valor inspire you to do anything?

Tempted to skip the filler.

There was one factor that the terrorists didn’t take into account when they struck the Capitana oil platform off the coast of Colombia - slaughtering much of the crew and blowing up the platform - and that was the Capitana crew chief, Dewey Andreas. Dewey, former Army Ranger and Delta, survives the attack, rescuing as many of his men as possible. But the battle has just begun....

Enjoyed Ben Coes book very much. Listened to it with 3 friends on a road trip and all agreed. This new writer is very engaging and if you are a Flynn or Thor fan, give Coes a try.

Kept the listeners guessing and moved along at a good pace.

Which character – as performed by Peter Hermann – was your favorite?

Did a good job with all the main characters.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, breaks are good with unabridged.

After serving time for armed robbery, Ernest "Stick" Stickley is back on the outside and trying to stay legit. But it's tough staying straight in a crooked town - and Miami is a pirate's paradise, where investment fat cats and lowlife drug dealers hold hands and dance. And when a crazed player chooses Stick at random to die for another man's sins, the struggling ex-con is left with no choice but to dive right back into the game. Besides, Stick knows a good thing when he sees it....

Yes, because I found it entaining

Lots of laughs

For months, Mitch Rapp has been steadily working his way through a list of men, bullet by bullet. With each kill, the tangled network of monsters responsible for the slaughter of 270 civilians becomes increasingly clear. He is given his next target: a plump Libyan diplomat who is prone to drink and is currently in Paris without a single bodyguard. Rapp finds him completely unprotected and asleep in his bed. With confidence in his well-honed skills and conviction of the man’s guilt, he easily sends a bullet into the man’s skull. But in the split second it takes the bullet to leave the silenced pistol, everything changes.
Linda says: "I'd listen to Guidall read the tax code, so..."
