DESCRIPTION:
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. As a pretty psychiatrist puzzles over the corners of Web's brain that kept him alive, Web himself stays on the move. --Barrie Trinkle. 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. Now the only witness has disappeared and the inside man on t

Another excellent book by David Baldacci. So many of his books have twist and turns and you can't just put the book down until you've finished. This books is no exception in the story of Web London, a member of an elite HRT team coming upon a drug bust that goes horribly wrong with all members of Web's team dead except himself who froze at the crucial moment of the attack. Of course Web is feeling overwhelming grief as to what happened and so the story goes in this book. Since many reviewers have gone over the plot of this . Don't waste your time! Michelle Pearson This book was very disappointing; it moved very slowly and had poor character development. It could have used an editor for sure! There were several punctuation errors that made me cringe, but the total use of the wrong word floored me! On more than one occasion a character was "put through the ringer"-no kidding!

But when his search leads him back to that bloodstained alley, Web suddenly realizes he is about to face his assassin again. Then ten seconds in a dark alley cost him everything: his friends, his fellow agents, his reputation. Web London was trained to penetrate hostile ground and come out alive. Now Web is trying to put his life back together and understand what really happened. To get answers, he'll need the help of psychiatrist Claire Daniels and the one other human being who lived through the attack - a ten-year-old boy. Among his super-elite FBI Hostage Rescue Team, Web was the sole survivor of a high-tech, devastating ambush. And this time, one of them will become the Last Man Standing.
