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.

Mitch Rapp at his best

Series just keeps getting better!

I hate that I'm nearing the end of this amazing series. George Guidall's performance is perfect for this genre.

Good book but performance a but mumbled

With English not being my main language it was sometimes a bit hard to get the reader since he talked quite fast and mumbled quite often. But overall impression was still good.

The only dissapointment is I have to wait for the next book

Good book

Would you listen to The Last Man again? Why?

Overall, a very good book. The ending was abrupt and actually didn't seem like an ending.

If you’ve listened to books by Vince Flynn before, how does this one compare?

This is not as good as the other Vince Flynn I've read.

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

George Guidall is very good as always.

Very ehthralling !

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

This was our first Vince Gill novel. We listened while driving between the midwest and Florida. The book lasted just long enough and kept us totally entertained throughout the drive. The reader was outstanding. I have ordered another for the return trip. It is great to be able to read the reviews and get an idea about which of the books are the tops in a series.

Welcome Back Mitch

Glad to see Mitch back in the present. Didn't enjoy the last two books that delved into his
past.

Tense and enjoyable thriller

Any additional comments?

This was the first Vince Flynn book I've read and/or listened to. In the mold of David Baldacci, Lee Child (Jack Reacher) and others, the hero is a tough army type with a sixth sense. If you like mystery, intrigue, revenge, twists, this is the book for you. Although at times the story is a bit far fetched and unbelievable, if you like books to keep your attention and are fast moving, then you won't be disappointing. The narrator is pretty good and conveys the different characters well.

Solid story, great narrator.

Always love the Mitch Rapp series. But it's getting a little predictable. Narrator is great.

Better

What did you love best about The Last Man?

The story was really still more of the same, but it was a little bit better than the last couple of novels set in the "present" time frame. The writing is always top notch and George Guidall has become the voice of Vince Flynn for me, although I do think his women all sound a bit breathy at times. Not as much political preaching and some of the recent works. Overall, not the renewed energy of the last two "trip to the past novels", but a good work - must have for anyone going through the whole series - ok as a starting point as well, but a couple of "spoilers" if you start here and then go back to book 1.
