Description
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 Mountains—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 Series—where justice always comes with a cost. Fans of Jack Reacher, The Gray Man and Mitch Rapp will tear through this one.
