    About this audiobook

    New York Times bestselling author Stephen Coonts delivers another nail-biting thriller starring CIA Director Jake Grafton and his right-hand man, Tommy Carmellini.

    The president of the United States stands on an outdoor stage, flanked by powerful members of his administration and party. Television crews are preparing for broadcast. High above the stage, on a nearby rooftop, a decorated sniper adjusts the scope on his rifle.

    Afterwards, America will never be the same.

    Jake Grafton and Tommy Carmellini suddenly find themselves on the wrong side of the law when a public act of violence throws the country into chaos just before a presidential election. After martial law is declared and rioting begins, Grafton and Carmellini must risk everything to unravel a massive conspiracy and help a new resistance movement rise up against an unimaginable enemy.…

      I can't believe my left-leaning public library purchased this. They have social justice reading groups for middle school students. I enjoyed listening to it but I'm surprised that no trigger warning stickers were attached to it.

      Not a novel, rather a novelized alt-right diatribe. I struggled through 15 pages and won't be picking up a Stephen Coonts book again.

      What might happen if, following almost simultaneous terrorist attacks in three American cities, the president of the United States declared martial law? CIA Director Jake Grafton, CIA operative Tommy Carmellini . . . and the American people . . . are about to find out.With well-developed characters and a plot that offers up several unexpected surprises, Stephen Coonts spins a thrill-a-minute roller coaster ride describing one possible scenario as an outcome to that fictional premise. Political issues and hot buttons aside, the narrative is an edge-of-your-seat thriller that draws the reader into the story, keeps those pages turning, and makes it almost impossible to set the book aside before reaching the final page. “Liberty’s Last Stand” isn’t the first book to posit overthrowing the government. Think “Seven Days in May” by Fletcher Knebel and Charles W. Bailey II or “It Can’t Happen Here” by Sinclair Lewis. It certainly won’t be the last highly-charged political thriller spun from a gifted author’s pen. Fiction often asks its readers for a willing suspension of disbelief; in this timely tale, it’s not about whether or not the characters on the pages of this book represent real people or if the situations that play out in the narrative represent real life. It’s about accepting the imagined premise and seeing where the fictional journey takes you. Good writing makes the reader consider . . . speculate . . . think. Without question, “Liberty’s Last Stand” is good writing; readers won’t be sorry they took the journey. Highly recommended.
