Joe Green is convinced the ambush that killed his teammate, Bryan Tompkin, was orchestrated by unseen hands. Joe was not happy to be made part of a mission which pulled him from his duties with the CIA. The friendship he found with all of the members of the team will lead to a change in his career and joining a team that he can always count on.

Despite his best effort, Joe gets involved with Bryan's sister Stephanie. He breaks off the relationship when he receives information that may lead him to Bryan's killers.

Stephanie is an analyst for the NSA. She knows her heart really won't break but she is despondent over her break up with Joe. Until her best friend brings her a picture that shows Joe being arrested for the killing of a priest in Sierra Leone. When she contacts the Black Ops team, Stephanie learns that there is no one available. Stephanie sets out for Sierra Leone with some forged papers and no real plan as how to rescue Joe.

Stephanie will use every means she can to get Joe out of prison but one of the people she turns to has been quietly manipulating events in Sierra Leone as well as the lives of all those who stand in his way. Stephanie and Joe will have to discover the truth of what is happening while protecting her parents from the machinations of a diabolical killer.

Cindy Gerard's Black Ops books have helped make her a bestselling author. LAST MAN STANDING keeps the excitement level high. I would not suggest starting it just before going to bed. You'll find yourself staying up late reading. Gut wrenching and action packed; LAST MAN STANDING is a must read.
