Editorial Review of Last Man Standing
Web London roars into a dark alley one night with his FBI Hostage Rescue Team. Seconds later, the team is ambushed and every man is deadexcept Web. As the FBI conducts their investigation, the suspicion surrounding Web deepens. Now, he needs help from an unlikely ally in his desperate search for the killer of his friends, and finds himself up against a force determined to finish the job that began in the alleykilling the seventh and sole surviving member of Charlie Team, Web London. Based on the real-life FBI Hostage Rescue Team, Last Man Standing heralds David Baldaccis highly anticipated return to the thriller genre. The New York Times bestseller Wish You Well (Warner 10/00), David Baldaccis most recent hardcover, has sold more than 580,000 copies. Saving Faith (Warner, 11/99), Baldaccis previous thriller, sold more than 460,000 copies. His phenomenal hardcover debut, Absolute Power (Warner, 1996), netted over 1.8 million copies, and became a successful film starring Clint Eastwood.

Review Summary: First Baldacci Novel
Review: This is the first time I have read this kind of work. I got this book from a friend and I couldnt put it down. It rates right up there with Lee Child and great without the gory sex details. I will read this book again. I gave a copy to my adult son who is working his way thru school to become a police officer.

Review Summary: Very good read, but not his best...
Review: I am a huge David Baldacci fan- he knows how to write suspensful thrillers like no one else. He does an enormous amount of research, keeps you on the edge-of-your-seat and creates multi-dimensional characters and layered plots that twist and turn at all the right moments.
While Last Man Standing isn't my favorite Baldacci novel, it is certainly a very good book and I recommend it to Baldacci fans, as well as fans of this genre in general.
When Web London, the consummate hero and part of the FBI's elite Hostage Rescue Team, completely freezes on a mission that takes out his entire team, he tries to find the group or person who set him up, in addition to the reason why he frooze. Meanwhile, the D.C. druglord known as Big F. wants to find out what happened to his "brother" Kevin who was caught up in the mission that wiped out Web's team...but is he being set up too? Toss in the radical Free Society and their fanatic beliefs, and the motive of revenge on behalf of each of the characters, and you have one complicated, twisted, yet intriguing plot. From the ghetto of D.C. to horse-country farm life, "Last Man Standing" truly delivers!

Review Summary: Last Man Standing stands the test
Review: Well done, Mr. Baldacci, I certainly enjoyed this novel.
While I agree with other reviews here that Last Man Standing is quite long and chock-full of characters, it's an entertaining novel overall. In spite of the number of characters, they are easy to track, thanks to the extent to which they are developed.
The protagonist, HRT Web London, is complicated, troubled, but steadfast, and his form never deviates... all the way to the last page.
For those of you who found there to be too many characters or thought that this book was "difficult to follow," I advise you to stay away from Robert Ludlum.
Looking forward to further Baldaccis!

Review Summary: A lot of death
Review: It seems that every chapter contains a death. As soon as a character becomes pivotal to the plot they get killed off in hopes that suspense is created. Come on, you have to be able to create suspense a little more emotionally and creative. It was a very fast paced book and I did want to find out who was behind everything. But I quickly got tired of being teased.
