"The last survivor" by Andy McDermott. This book is published by Headline in 2015 and has 93 pages. This is Book 10.5 of Nina Wilde series. It's a short story.
In previous book, Nina and Eddie destroyed a band of Nazis. But one of them survived. The last survivor is after pregnant Nina to kill her. Nina is writing a book about her adventures. But she is leaving out something important.
Can the last survivor track Nina? Can he apprehend her? Can he kill her? What will Eddie do?
The story is Not good. There is hardly any story, more of an action sequence. Nina's kidnapping by a 'The last survivor' (BTW this last survivor appears to be an afterthought) and her safe rescue form the plot.
The climax consists of the villain abducting a helicopter and Eddy dangling from it. The pilot trying to scrape him off the skid and Eddy's survival maneuvering. Fight in helicopter flying without pilot, destined for crash on Statue of Liberty.
Was this story an essential part of the series? No. It appears to be an afterthought. Why was it published? Probably commercial reasons. At the end the seeds for next book are sown. Author has even given first chapter of Book 11. So this book serves as a curtain raiser.
Why did I read this book? Nina Wilde series.
What I didn't like? Purpose.
What did I like? Helicopter climax.
Give it a miss.
