The Last Sentinel

Clayton White, Book 2

By: Simon Gervais

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

From the celebrated author of The Last Protector comes an action-packed sequel about a man whose duty to his country threatens the life of the woman he has vowed to protect.

Ex-Secret Service agent Clayton White doesn’t miss the relentless danger that defined his career. These days, he’s enjoying life at sea with his fiancée - who also happens to be the daughter of the double-dealing vice president, Alexander Hammond. But for the most part, Clayton has made peace with his old nemesis.

Then their ship, the NOAAS Surveyor, comes under attack. That same day in Miami, the Second Lady of the United States is assassinated. Hammond, who dodged the bullet meant for him, calls upon Clayton to help him hunt down the responsible party.

Clayton wants nothing to do with the notorious vice president, who boasts a violent and capricious history. But with his fiancée’s life in the balance, Clayton has no choice. He jumps back into the fray, where he’ll face off with enemies new and old. And unbeknownst to Clayton, a deep-rooted enemy has been waiting in the shadows and has now set his sights on him.

This time, it’s not just the world Clayton’s trying to save - but the woman he loves.

Non-Stop Testosterone

For those of us who love novels with strong "white knight" heroes, rocket-fueled plots, and a strong sense of justice, this one ticks all the boxes. Clayton White is a fun and fascinating character. His strength, experience, intelligence, and loyalty provide a strong platform for this man who knows too many secrets and is haunted by too many violent actions. But it's his love for his fiance, the daughter of the Vice President, that makes him genuine.

This is book two in the Clayton White series. Book one was great. This one went nuclear as an old foe seeks his long-awaited revenge and launches a two-pronged attack that no one saw coming. Now VP Hammond and his estranged daughter are forced back into the same room with a lot of bad blood between them. Hammond is unrepentant for his past sins, something that doesn't sit well with Clay.

If you're a fan of fast-paced, action-packed justice-seeking military/political novels, this series is a win. If you're a fan of romantic suspense, you'll enjoy this one as well. It's possible to read this novel as a stand alone, but best enjoyment will come from backing up to the beginning to get the full scope of the damaged relationship between the Vice President, his daughter, and a man he once considered a son.
