Last Man Standing (Matt Drake 8) picks up where Blood Vengeance left off, with most of the book taking place over a twenty-four hour span. Drake, Mai, Dahl and Alicia find themselves pitted against eight of the deadliest assassins on the planet – forced into an extreme tournament where just one can make it out alive.

Only Matt Drake’s greatest nemesis – Coyote – knows all the rules, and nothing will stop her from destroying everything he loves. Not the destruction of the unwitting town that hosts the tournament, not the demolition in combat of its biggest hotel, not the battle that rages on the edge of town. Amidst the annihilation of the Ninth Division and the emergence of the Pythians as a significant enemy, Drake and the team must fight for their lives against not only their deadliest foe, but an army of mercenaries and each other, to determine who will be. . .
. . .the Last Man Standing.

Sometimes the weakness we fear most can become our greatest strength . . .

Jack McClure has had a troubled life. His dyslexia always made him feel like an outsider. He escaped from an abusive home as a teenager and lived by his wits on the streets of Washington D.C. It wasn't until he realized that dyslexia gave him the ability to see the world in unique ways that he found success, using this newfound strength to become a top ATF agent.

When a terrible accident takes the life of his only daughter, Emma, and his marriage falls apart, Jack blames himself, numbing the pain by submerging himself in work. Then he receives a call from his old friend Edward Carson. Carson is just weeks from taking the reins as President of the United States when his daughter, Alli, is kidnapped. Because Emma McClure was once Alli's best friend, Carson turns to Jack, the one man he can trust to go to any lengths to find his daughter and bring her home safely.

The search for Alli leads Jack on a road toward reconciliation . . . and into the path of a dangerous and calculating man. Someone whose actions are as cold as they are brilliant. Whose power and reach are seemingly infinite.

Faith, redemption, and political intrigue play off one another as McClure uses his unique abilities to journey into the twisted mind of a stone cold genius who is constantly one step ahead of him. Jack will soon discover that this man has affected his life and his country in more ways than he could ever imagine.

"It has served us well, this myth of Christ."
Pope Leo X, 16th Century

In a hail of fire and flashing sword, as the burning city of Acre falls from the hands of the West in 1291, The Last Templar opens with a young Templar knight, his mentor, and a handful of others escaping to the sea carrying a mysterious chest entrusted to them by the Order's dying Grand Master. The ship vanishes without a trace.

In present day Manhattan, four masked horsemen dressed as Templar Knights emerge from Central Park and ride up the Fifth Avenue steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art during the blacktie opening of a Treasures of the Vatican exhibit. Storming through the crowds, the horsemen brutally attack anyone standing between them and their prize. Attending the gala, archaeologist Tess Chaykin watches in silent terror as the leader of the horsemen hones in on one piece in particular, a strange geared device. He utters a few cryptic Latin words as he takes hold of it with reverence before leading the horsemen out and disappearing into the night.

In the aftermath, an FBI investigation is led by anti-terrorist specialist Sean Reilly. Soon, he and Tess are drawn into the dark, hidden history of the crusading Knights, plunging them into a deadly game of cat and mouse with ruthless killers as they race across three continents to recover the lost secret of the Templars.

Kort tid etter at eks-spion Lang Reilly søster dør i en eksplosjon i sitt hjem i Paris , etter aa ha kjoept en reproduksjon av et maleri av den 17. århundres artist Poussin som inkluderer en merkelig latinsk inskripsjon. Deretter forsvinner maleriet fra Lang's hjem.
Med politi og mordere på sporet av ham, legger Lang på en reise til Italia for å avdekke maleriets hemmeligheter samt forbindelsen til sin søster, verve hjelp av en tidligere kollega, den tyske drapsmaskinen Gurt Fuchs.

Noen tørre utdrag fra en middelaldersk beretning om Knights of the Templar's historie, antyder at mysteriet er mer kompleks enn Lang kan forestille deg.
Med en internasjonal setting og fartsfylt action, og heldigvis, Loomis sin overbevisende protagonistiske intelligens og emosjonelle dybde til å bære leseren gjennom noen usannsynlige scenarier (for eksempel på et flyplass toalett, der konstruerer Lang en falsk pistol ut av godteri).

Selv om momentumet noen ganger mangler, er hver scene levende nok til å holde leseren engasjert.

Noen kan finne bokens hemmelige samfunn og kunsthistorie tema en bagatell, uoriginal, men andre som ønsker å gjenta The Da Vinci Code setting vil bli fornøyd.
