The Last Guardian

Clayton White, Book 3

By: Simon Gervais

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

In this thrilling installment of the Clayton White series, the former Secret Service agent must sift through layers of deception to uncover the truth behind the FBI director’s assassination and avert a global catastrophe.

Fighting the fentanyl epidemic in the United States is a top priority for President Alexander Hammond, and there’s only one man he trusts—however begrudgingly—to lead the task force: former Secret Service agent and soon-to-be son-in-law Clayton White.

Once reckless in his line of work, White is now determined to keep his future in mind. He and his fiancée, Veronica, are expecting their first child, and there are some risks White is no longer willing to take. But when his investigation into the Red Dragon Triad drug cartel appears to lead to the assassination of the FBI director, White is forced to put his life on the line to find out who is behind the attack and what they’re planning next.

Amid a series of secret identities, betrayals, and terrorist plots, Clayton White must join forces with allies he’s not sure he can trust to save the country he’s sworn to protect and the family he’s vowed to love.

Critic reviews

“[Clayton] White’s third thrill ride spans the globe, unfolding in Monaco and Switzerland as well as China and Washington, and benefiting as much from its numerous surprises as from its expertly choreographed action scenes. A brisk globetrotting thriller with abundant tension and a timely premise.”—Kirkus Reviews

“The Last Guardian has no shortage of head-popping action and it’s rife with gritty moments that give pause to readers in the middle of the explosive fast-paced narrative. Simon Gervais just doesn’t miss.”—Kashif Hussain, Best Thriller Books

“Simon Gervais delivers another pulse-pounding, blood rushing, race against the clock thriller that will keep you in suspense and leave you winded. Electric and absorbing, The Last Guardian is another must read from the venerable Simon Gervais.”—Steve Netter, Best Thriller Books

The author has written another great novel!

The author has written another fantastic novel full of intrigue and suspense! The narration is superb and brings the characters to life!

Action packed

Minor complaint- characters who are engaged for 2 books and just had a baby together should just get married already. Their seemingly years long engagement is getting tiresome.

I like the strategic plot and character potential

I found it much less engaging than the first, and hard to follow story lines involving the parties from out of the country.

hot & cold

The action parts were awesome ....which were spread apart. Then there was the rest of the book...which was boring. The ending sucked!

Not Too Smart

For someone who was a ranger the protagonist is pretty dim. Not very situationally aware, know nothing of OPSEC and is overall a whipped puppy. The narration was great, the story was ok, but the main character is a ditz. Not America's best.
