Amazon.com Review
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

From Publishers Weekly
Last year's Wish You Well, a historical family drama set in rural Virginia, proved that Baldacci, previously known for his thrillers (particularly his debut, Absolute Power), can do much more than supply maximum suspense. His latest is another exciting thriller, but one that hasn't forsaken the ambitions of Wish You Well, plumbing the emotions and exploring the shadings of human nature in an impressive way. And for the first time, Baldacci has created characters that readers will demand to see back in a sequel. He has chosen an immensely interesting subject: the (real-life) FBI Hostage Rescue Team, a force so elite that many of the Seals, Delta Force grads and other special ops who apply to it don't make the cut. Baldacci's hero is hostage rescue team superstar Web London, who inexplicably (to himself and others) freezes during an operation that leaves the rest of his team dead; hence, the book's title. Web's investigation into the massacre involves him with several bands of criminals, most notably a white supremacist terrorist cell, a gang of D.C. drug peddlers headed by a charismatic giant, and a secret group involved in both terror and drug activities. At the same time, Web's exploration into why he froze leads him to psychoanalysis and hypnosis, to budding romance and, ultimately, to revelations that tie together all the strands and questions of the immensely complicated plot. This is Baldacci's most accomplished thriller. The action, conspiratorial and overt, shifting from urban to rural and back, is nearly nonstop and expertly drawn; heroes and villains alike are believable and equally flawed; and there's a newfound maturity of tone here, a somber acceptance of the suffering that necessarily attends human life. (On-sale Nov. 6)Forecast: The American flag waving on the book's cover will draw readers' eyes; the strong title and the Baldacci name will carry them to the cash register. Expect hefty sales. Simultaneous audio cassette (abridged and unabridged), audio CD (abridged) and large-print editions. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.

David Baldacci writes books that hold your attention. His series of books 1) King & Maxwell 2) A. Shaw Series, 3) Amos Decker Series, 4) Will Robie Series, 5) John Puller Series, 6) Camel Club Series are all great along with his "stand alone" books. But for the "series" books, read them in order to get introduced to the characters and so that you are aware of previous events that are referred to in later books in the series. I have read them all and await his next book, whenever it is written ."Last Man Standing" is one of the "stand alone books".
I'm a Baldacci fan, but for me this book disappoints in several ways. Lost a star as a result.The worst part is the continual formatting issue throughout the Kindle version--on almost every page, no exaggeration--in which the dialogue of one character is added to the dialogue of another in the same paragraph. The run-on and non-paragraphed dialgoue took me out of my 'suspension of disbelief' each time as I struggled to work out exactly who was talking.There were also two very long conversations in which the author used no character tags whatsoever and I literally forgot which character was speaking. Had to go back and try to work it out so I could follow the plot. There's nothing wrong with names and 'he said,' Mr. Baldacci.And finally, wow, the ending. Uh, quite a lead up and quite a let down for me. Probably for the main character, too. I would also like to suggest that the author spend a little less time showing off his encyclopedic knowledge of guns and horse trailers, etc. (Am from Virginia and grew up riding horses....)Write a non-fiction book, if you must, but get to the story, please.If you like Tom Clancy's style, in which the author teaches a class in the middle of each chapter, well, then this book might be just the right thing for you. I've read the Will Robie books and Memory Man more than once. I would not pick this one up again. Amazon and Warner Books, get your Kindle formatting corrected. I sent corrections to Amazon as I plowed through. Surely, you have professionals who will do this for pay?
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! There was encyclopedic information about weaponry, if that many people are interested. I felt like it was written to be filmed as an adventure movie. I am hopeful that this a one-time aberration on Mr. Baldacci's part and not a degeneration like Patricia Cornwall had with her Kay Scarpetta books.
I can't judge prose very well, but this is okay. It's certainly better-edited than some recent stuff out there. There are two main problems: the plot, and the setup.The plot is overly complex with 3-4 separate threads, and then huge coincidences are contrived to interlock those threads. Those coincidences have nothing to do with the novels resolution, save to allow a single sequence to bring all the threads to an end. As bad as the worst television I've seen ...Compared with the travesty of the plot, the setup is merely lame. The FBI has lots of fine folks and I'm sure their paramilitary teams are skilled, tough people. However, the idea that FBI hostage rescue team personnel are far more deadly than those of hardened, black (i.e., unacknowedged) SOCOM teams is absurd.I pushed through to the end of this to have the right to post this review. Your reading time is better spent elsewhere in this genre.
Web London has been hailed as a hero in previous missions with his hostage rescue team (HRT). He's been severely injured and carries the scars and disfigurement to prove it. But on the latest mission, everything goes horribly wrong. Web survives an unsurvivable situation and is suspected of being a coward or crook because he survived. For the rest of the story we follow Web as he tries to find the truth, meanwhile doing what he has always done, helping those who need it.
This novel by David Baldacci, CLEARLY and BELIEVABLY shows it. That ALL members of our top government agencies, EVEN ALL of the members of the F.B.I. starting from way down at the bottom and then ALL of the way on up to the very TOP executives of the F.B.I. that are "Calling the Shots" - are ALL susceptible to ALL of the SAME temptations and weaknesses that you and I are ! Amid all of the fast and violent 'action' that is packed into this novel, THESE two important facts are what this author has SO brilliantly "illuminated" for us !
David Baldacci has done it again. He has jumped into a new genre of topics and has produced a book that was a wonderful read. It has action, suspense, and a little gratuitous sex thrown in at the end for good measure. I read this in less than a week. It wasn't until the very end that everything became clear, and the pieces fit like a glove. I hate when I read a story and I find the pieces don't fit together, but in true Baldacci style even though the story line was convoluted at first but this was by design. Our hero had to go through hell but being in the pre-verbal s$%^t is nothing new. But our hero does weather the storm but when he exits the other side what we have is a new Baldacci hero that I see numerous stories in. If you like to read a story based around one of the heroes of our society, with a plethora demons that dog him but he also has a large contingent of friends who also will stand behind him and help him to prevail. Great book.
Excellent character development, generally slower-paced than his others and the story took a while to develop. It was a bit too wordy, too many plot deviations and perhaps too long. I really enjoy Baldacci. I consider him to be in the Vince Flynn mold but this was not one that I "could not put down". Nevertheless, when finished and reflecting back, it was still a good book. I've read most of his books (if not all of them) and always look forward to the next one.
