The Last Man

A Novel

By: Vince Flynn

Narrated by: George Guidall

Length: 11 hrs and 53 mins

Publisher's summary

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.

At first glance it looks as if Rickman has been kidnapped, but Rapp knows certain things about his old friend that cause him to wonder if something more disturbing isn’t afoot. Irene Kennedy, the director of the CIA, has ordered Rapp to find Rickman at all costs. Rapp must navigate the ever-shifting landscape of Afghanistan as the Taliban, Iranians, Pakistanis and Russians all plot to claim their piece of the war torn state.

With Afghanistan crumbling around him, Rapp must be as ruthless as his enemies and as deceitful as people in his own government if he has any hopes of completing his mission.

Any additional comments?

Too much that was unbelievable.

Guidall’s Narration is Brilliant & Funny

As with all of the Mitch Rapp series, this one is equally action-packed, but there were some very funny dialogs. George Guidall is masterful as he bounces between characters. Highly recommend this audiobook/novel.

Another Home Run

Where does The Last Man rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It is not my favorite of the Rapp series, but it was another great one, with just enough comic relief to lighten the mood at the right time. Vince Flynn is really hitting his stride, starting with Extreme Measures.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Mitch Rapp of course. He losses out on the Top Spot of my favorite characters to only Jack Ryan.

What does George Guidall bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

It is his voice. I was reading the books before I started listening to them and George Guidall's voice is exactly what I though Rapp would sound like. It actually makes me not want to listen to other similar series read by Guidall because his voice is Rapp's. It would be like listening to another book read by Jim Dale, who read the Harry Potter series.

Any additional comments?

While this book is a stand alone book in the series, like most. To really understand everything that happens, you need to go through the whole series.

Great Rendition All Around

Excellent AGAIN!

What did you love best about The Last Man?

Excellent book, extremely entertaining! George Guidall is amazing once again, I REALLY wish they would do remakes to the few novels that had other narrators.

This book brings smiles to my commute that aren't normally there, excellent.

Enough that I don't want to get out of the car after my commutes!

George is awesome.

Another Winner in the Mitch Rapp Series!

Great read! Anything done by Guidall is worth listening to, and the whole Mitch Rapp series is a blast! I only wish Flynn would come out with more of them!

Better than Baldacci

What made the experience of listening to The Last Man the most enjoyable?

I like the characters and the excitement. I'm always surprised that I enjoy an author who has Rush Limbaugh on his web sight, but I do. I like the relationship between Irene Kennedy and Mitch and I found bringing in a villain from another book very intriguing.

Good narrator.

Which scene was your favorite?

Liked when Irene Kennedy one ups the FBI

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Not exactly the kind of book that "moves " you.

Classic Mitch Rapp! Action and Anger! Loved It!
