About this listen
From the acclaimed author of the Pierce Hunt series comes a thrilling novel featuring a Secret Service agent who takes on a ruthless foe to protect the country he serves and the woman he loves.
Former air force combat rescue officer Special Agent Clayton White now works for the Secret Service performing routine escort missions for politicians. These missions may not be quite as exciting as his time in the military, but Clayton’s okay with that. It gives him more time to see his girlfriend, Veronica Hammond—an archaeologist who also happens to be the vice president elect’s daughter.
But Clayton’s seemingly manageable new routine takes a startling turn when South African mercenaries target Veronica at an awards gala celebrating her work. After this attempt on Veronica’s life, Clayton enters a complicated web of lies, betrayal, and dangerous government secrets.
As Clayton gets closer to the truth, he encounters unexpected foes pitted against questionable allies. With enemies at every turn, the only constant Clayton can rely on is Veronica. But when the threat against her turns on him, too, he faces an impossible choice: love or country.

Critic reviews
“Gervais’s brisk series kickoff, which jumps around the world, is built on the tension underlying the tenuous alliances among the sort of power-hungry villains who will stop at nothing. Well-modulated action scenes alternate with showdowns that reposition the pawns.”—Kirkus Reviews
“[A] solid thriller from Gervais…”—Publishers Weekly
“A thrill ride from the first page to the last! Simon Gervais is coming in hot with The Last Protector. Looking for action, intrigue, and suspense? This is your novel! Move it to the top of your list!”—Jack Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Devil’s Hand

Just don't.

That said, I liked Clay & Veronica. Both have strong personalities that worked well here. The action parts were fun when they happened.
While a full & complete story, it ends with a bit of a open-the-series kind of cliffhanger. I will check out the next one when it’s released.
Narration:
Jeffrey Kafer is a good choice for action/thriller type books with male protagonists. I like his voices for the various characters and timing/energy for action scenes.

Lots of bad-guys and lots of killing.
No romance worth talking about and the F-bomb was used 23 times.
As for the narration: Jeffrey Kafer has a nice reading voice, and that's just about all he does, read. When he, or any character, is in hiding and the bad guys are only a few feet from you, you DO NOT talk in your regular voice. You WHISPER! Is that so hard to figure out? That's the reason I usually avoid books narrated by him. I guess he hasn't figured that out, yet. But, I have.
Good book bad narration..
