Last Target Standing

A David Rivers Thriller (Shadow Strike, Book 2)

By: Jason Kasper

Narrated by: Corey M. Snow

The second installment of the riveting new thriller series by former Green Beret and USA Today best-selling author Jason Kasper

"David Rivers is back with a vengeance...and the stakes have never been higher." (Steven Konkoly, USA Today best-selling author of the Ryan Decker series)

After the largest terrorist attack in US history is narrowly foiled, the sole enemy survivor has only one name to provide his interrogators: Ghulam Samedi, a fugitive hiding in the rugged mountains of China’s Xinjiang Province.

As part of the CIA’s newly minted targeted killing program, David Rivers and his team are tasked with assassinating Samedi.

But once they are inside China, there will be no backup, no air support, and no escape - only a handful of local assets with dubious motivations. The location is known for its opium smugglers, violent separatist movement, and heavy deployment of Chinese secret police.

Which is exactly why Rivers’ team of former mercenaries was assembled for this covert operation. They are unilateral, unattributable, and if things go wrong, utterly expendable.

As Rivers embarks on his most challenging mission yet, he will stop at nothing to hunt down Samedi…the last target standing between him and a sinister conspiracy with global implications.

Critic reviews

"David Rivers is back with a vengeance in the Shadow Strike series, and the stakes have never been higher - or more personal." (Steven Konkoly, USA Today best-selling author of the Ryan Decker Series)

Entertainment

This book series gets better with every novel. Building on each one. It makes you want to get to the next one. I wonder what’s gonna happen next. Just the way it should be.

Suspenseful

Really like the storyline. Makes me really feel extremely grateful and appreciate our armed forces the more I read about special ops teams. Heroes- every one of them.

Lots of Action

Lots of action sequences ... but they seemed repetitive .... Could have spent time building characters...

Great plot building and climax.

Nonstop action and suspension. Never resting and always building a great story with great and intriguing characters.

Good Story, Solid Characters

I liked the plot. I suppose it reflects reality in the CIA and covert operations, but I think that Duchess could be less critical and more of a team player.
