Publisher's summary
Then one morning, his cell is discovered empty. Jay Tice has vanished - without tripping an alarm or leaving any trace of his passing.
Elaine Cunningham is a hunter - a CIA operative who specializes in finding people who don't want to be found. Young, gifted and a maverick, she is assigned to track Tice and bring him to ground before he disappears forever. But as she matches wits in a perilous game with one of the greatest spymasters of all time, she discovers there is far more at stake than an old spy's last run for freedom.
Lurking in the shadows are other hidden players with their own lethal agendas and, from Geneva to Washington, Berlin to New York City, a deadly conspiracy is coalescing. With only a few hours to go, and the future of millions in the balance, she must uncover the truth behind the legend of the last spymaster.

A major North American hydroelectric dam is blown up and the largest off-shore oil field in this hemisphere is destroyed in a brutal, coordinated terrorist attack. But there was one factor that the terrorists didn't take into account when they struck the Capitana platform off the coast of Colombia—slaughtering much of the crew and blowing up the platform—and that was the Capitana crew chief Dewey Andreas. Dewey, former Army Ranger and Delta, survives the attack, rescuing as many of his men as possible. But the battle has just begun.

Story
It's 1949. When war veteran Aloysius Archer is released from Carderock Prison, he is sent to Poca City on parole with a short list of dos and a much longer list of don'ts: do report regularly to his parole officer, don't go to bars, certainly don't drink alcohol, do get a job - and don't ever associate with loose women. The small town quickly proves more complicated and dangerous than Archer's years serving in the war or his time in jail.

Story
If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

Loved it.
Would you consider the audio edition of The Last Spymaster to be better than the print version?
I have not read the print version, but I loved the audioversion.
What did you like best about this story?
The story kept me interested and entertained the entire book.
What does David Colacci bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The narration was great and helped you to feel the different charicters, not just read them, or in this case, listen to them.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The book had some humor but was a good suspense novel.

Great Story
It took a bit to get into it but a great fast paced mystery. Some parts were a little far fetched but great book to listen to on a long ride- I really enjoyed it.

fantastic and fast paced!
This was a very good book . excellently written , fast paced , and totally enjoyable. The characters were well developed and the plot believable. Gayle has written three of the Robert ludlum books in the "covert one" series and her continuations of his work were much better than the other authors that tried to continue the series.This book is a testament that she has learned from the master from this genre. get this book you will definately enjoy it.

Keep moving, nothing to see here folks
As a fan of mysteries, thrillers, spy novels and other beach reading fiction, I don't approach the books I read for entertainment with the anticipation of memorable dialogue or prose, and I certainly don't expect any redeeming literary value. However, I do appreciate it when the author takes care to avoid strictly expository dialogue and overly-contrived metaphors.
While the plot of "The Last Spymaster" is sufficiently intriguing, the writing itself seems careless and rushed, making the story itself seem like a hastily fattened plot outline that was unfortunate enough to find its way to the bookshelf before ever meeting the pen of a good editor.
If the TV equivalent to a book like Alex Berenson's "The Faithful Spy" is "24," Gayle Lynds "The Last Spymaster" is "CSI: Miami". If that kind of "camp" doesn't bother you, then by all means enjoy. If, however, you don't like your novels with an overly hammy taste, you might want to look elsewhere.

A definite winner!
I bought this book based on the predominately positive reviews, and was not disappointed. The story is interesting, but not so convoluted that it's hard to follow. The characters are engaging and well-defined. What really makes this book shine, in my opinion, is the narrator. Many male readers have a hard time getting the right tone for female characters, but David Colacci presented the women as effortlessly as the varied accents of the many male characters. No artificial falsetto screeches here; his women have slightly husky, but definitely feminine voices.
Overall, this is a very interesting and entertaining story. While there is violence (it's a spy story, after all), it's not excessive. I admit to being a little squeamish when violence is described in minute detail, but nothing in this story ever made me want to skip forward.
I'm looking forward to more of this author's writing!

So So.
Although there were moments of interest, for the most part, this book was dull - and I never reached the point of caring about the characters. A disappointment.

Same old, same old.
I looked at my wife thirty minutes into this one and told her the rest of the plot until the end of the book and was actually right. If you have ever seen a "cop/buddy" movie or a 1980's spy movie, you have already heard this story. Not worth the time at all.

Good story, weak writing
This is a pretty good story. It moves quickly and has some nice plot twists. I know lots of people are happy with this sort of book. The writing is comic book style. The dialogue and description are very weak. The characters are barely developed. If you like action movies, you will probably like this book.

What a disappointment
The premise of the story has promise, but the writing is bland and repetitive. Apparently, while the English language has dozens of euphemisms for "kill", the author only believes in two; "scrub" and "wipe". I'm not kidding; you could use this audiobook as a Forever Alone drinking game; one shot for "wipe", two shots for "scrub".
All the characters are annoying; the protagonist is supposed to be a tough-as-nails wild woman, but really, she's pretty much always holding back tears, or has a lump in her throat. The titular spymaster is running for his life, but he and the wild woman develop an almost instant affection for each other, and over the course of about a day and a half, are hugging each other. This is normal in adventure romances, but this book isn't supposed to be that.
The dialogue is so brutally trite in places that I actually flinched in embarrassment. Like the thug who screams "I'll get you, Tice! I'lllllll gettt youuuuuu!" while shaking his fist in the air.
And then, ye gods, there is the narration! I'm sure that the narrator is a nice person, but this isn't his best work. There are probably a twenty characters that exchange dialogue throughout the book, but only two of them sound different than anyone else. Oh, except the Arab characters, who all sound like pirates. "Allahu Akbar, argghhh!"
I wish I had my credit back.

How dumb can characters be?
I pride myself on my ability to suspend disbelief and just enjoy a book as its written, but this book took me way past my limits. I continued listening only to see how preposterous the author could get (and she sure didn't disappoint on that end!). It's definitely a staple of the thriller for the otherwise intelligent main character to do something really dumb and get in mortal trouble, but in this book, every last character with more than three lines alternates between extra-ordinarily clever and stupendously stupid.
On the plus side, the reader is very good, and the book has enough action to be brain candy. Nonetheless, if you have a hint of respect for human nature, this is not the book for you.
