THE LAST WITNESS

BOOK SIX, THE USS ARIZONA SERIES

By: William Ferrier Jr.

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

"The Arizona Series belongs alongside the great works of WWII fiction. The Last Witness is its devastating, perfect conclusion."

I'm the last one. And in seven days, I'll be dead.

At 102 years old, James Marsh is the final surviving crew member of USS Arizona. He has one week to live. One week to tell the truth about the five novels that defined how America remembers Pearl Harbor.

They weren't just stories. They were confessions.

For eight decades, Marsh has carried the weight of five men's lives—Calvin Webb, Thomas Avery, John McAllister, Percy Cole, and Vincent DeLuca. Five sailors who died when the Arizona exploded on December 7th, 1941. Five voices that somehow became five bestselling novels, studied at the Naval Academy, revered as the definitive account of that terrible morning. But there's something Marsh never revealed. Something that will change everything readers thought they knew about those books—and about the man who wrote them.

As his heart fails and the memorial cries oil into Pearl Harbor, Marsh must finally answer the question that has haunted him for 84 years: Why did I survive when they didn't?

From the author of the acclaimed Arizona Series comes the devastating conclusion—a story of survival, guilt, memory, and the unbearable cost of bearing witness. Perfect for readers of All the Light We Cannot See and The Nightingale.
