They abandoned a soldier. Now Sherman's bringing the consequences.

Captain Frank Sherman has spent the last year trying to outrun the war he left behind. But when a call comes in about a friend who never made it home, he doesn't hesitate to do what no one else will.

The trail leads from Kabul's collapse to a dark pipeline of human trafficking, where profit hides behind politics and no one's hands are clean. Sherman's only lead? A cold trail through the Rocky Mountainsβ€”and the kind of enemies who never leave loose ends.

He's not on a mission. He's making it personal. They took the wrong man. Now Sherman's coming to collect.

The Last One Out is the fifth relentless entry in the Frank Sherman Thrillers Seriesβ€”where justice always comes with a cost. Fans of Jack Reacher, The Gray Man and Mitch Rapp will tear through this one.
