1) Hardcover Book Last Man Standing by Grand Central Publishing. There was a lot going on in this book but you were never very far away from the main story line which keeps the reader from getting lost. Throughly enjoyed the book.¤

2) Hardcover Book Last Man Standing by Grand Central Publishing. This is the first time I have read this kind of work. I got this book from a friend and I couldnt put it down. It rates right up there with Lee Child and great without the gory sex details. I will read this book again. I gave a copy to my adult son who is working his way thru school to become a police officer.¤

3) Hardcover Book Last Man Standing by Grand Central Publishing. I am a huge David Baldacci fan- he knows how to write suspensful thrillers like no one else. He does an enormous amount of research, keeps you on the edge-of-your-seat and creates multi-dimensional characters and layered plots that twist and turn at all the right moments.

While Last Man Standing isn´t my favorite Baldacci novel, it is certainly a very good book and I recommend it to Baldacci fans, as well as fans of this genre in general.

When Web London, the consummate hero and part of the FBI´s elite Hostage Rescue Team, completely freezes on a mission that takes out his entire team, he tries to find the group or person who set him up, in addition to the reason why he frooze. Meanwhile, the D.C. druglord known as Big F. wants to find out what happened to his "brother" Kevin who was caught up in the mission that wiped out Web´s team...but is he being set up too? Toss in the radical Free Society and their fanatic beliefs, and the motive of revenge on behalf of each of the characters, and you have one complicated, twisted, yet intriguing plot. From the ghetto of D.C. to horse-country farm life, "Last Man Standing" truly delivers!¤

4) Hardcover Book Last Man Standing by Grand Central Publishing. Fast paced, adventure. My first time reading something written by Mr.Baldacci. I will read more.¤

5) Hardcover Book Last Man Standing by Grand Central Publishing. Well done, Mr. Baldacci, I certainly enjoyed this novel.

While I agree with other reviews here that Last Man Standing is quite long and chock-full of characters, it´s an entertaining novel overall. In spite of the number of characters, they are easy to track, thanks to the extent to which they are developed.

The protagonist, HRT Web London, is complicated, troubled, but steadfast, and his form never deviates... all the way to the last page.

For those of you who found there to be too many characters or thought that this book was "difficult to follow," I advise you to stay away from Robert Ludlum.

Looking forward to further Baldaccis!¤

6) Hardcover Book Last Man Standing by Grand Central Publishing. Seven seconds. That´s all it took 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 towards a drug leader´s lair, only to meet a high-tech, custom-designed ambush that killed everyone around him. Coping with the blame-filled words of anguished widows and the suspicions of colleagues, Web tries to put his life back together. 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 the alley alive ...a ten-year-old boy who has since disappeared. Acting on his instincts, Web believes he knows where the killer will strike next. Only this time, he may not survive the attack. In this extraordinary work, Baldacci uses his unsurpassed storytelling skills to explore the essence of survival itself, as a conspiracy of violence surrounds an FBI agent whose fate was to be the ..."Last Man Standing".¤

7) Hardcover Book Last Man Standing by Grand Central Publishing. Last Man Standing has the essential elements of a terrific David Baldacci novel: a tough but tender-hearted hero, dirty dealings in the nation´s bureaucracy, and a roller-coaster plot. Web London, a member of the FBI´s Hostage Rescue Team, froze up on a drug raid and thus became the sole survivor of a remote-controlled ambush that killed six of his compatriots. Now the only witness has disappeared and the inside man on the botched raid has gone underground.

As a pretty psychiatrist puzzles over the corners of Web´s brain that kept him alive, Web himself stays on the move. He´s certain that the ambush is connected to the prison escape of a neofascist leader, Ernest B. Free, whom he helped arrest five years earlier, and a series of new murders leads him to a Virginia horse farm and the driving force behind all the carnage. It may seem as though Baldacci gives away the mastermind too soon, but both the bad guys and the good guys are complex enough that there´s plenty of punch all the way to the last page. --Barrie Trinkle¤
