About this listen

From the celebrated author of The Last Protector comes an action-packed sequel about a man whose duty to his country threatens the life of the woman he has vowed to protect.

Ex-Secret Service agent Clayton White doesn’t miss the relentless danger that defined his career. These days, he’s enjoying life at sea with his fiancée - who also happens to be the daughter of the double-dealing vice president, Alexander Hammond. But for the most part, Clayton has made peace with his old nemesis.

Then their ship, the NOAAS Surveyor, comes under attack. That same day in Miami, the Second Lady of the United States is assassinated. Hammond, who dodged the bullet meant for him, calls upon Clayton to help him hunt down the responsible party.

Clayton wants nothing to do with the notorious vice president, who boasts a violent and capricious history. But with his fiancée’s life in the balance, Clayton has no choice. He jumps back into the fray, where he’ll face off with enemies new and old. And unbeknownst to Clayton, a deep-rooted enemy has been waiting in the shadows and has now set his sights on him.

This time, it’s not just the world Clayton’s trying to save - but the woman he loves.

Non-Stop Testosterone

For those of us who love novels with strong "white knight" heroes, rocket-fueled plots, and a strong sense of justice, this one ticks all the boxes. Clayton White is a fun and fascinating character. His strength, experience, intelligence, and loyalty provide a strong platform for this man who knows too many secrets and is haunted by too many violent actions. But it's his love for his fiance, the daughter of the Vice President, that makes him genuine.

This is book two in the Clayton White series. Book one was great. This one went nuclear as an old foe seeks his long-awaited revenge and launches a two-pronged attack that no one saw coming. Now VP Hammond and his estranged daughter are forced back into the same room with a lot of bad blood between them. Hammond is unrepentant for his past sins, something that doesn't sit well with Clay.

If you're a fan of fast-paced, action-packed justice-seeking military/political novels, this series is a win. If you're a fan of romantic suspense, you'll enjoy this one as well. It's possible to read this novel as a stand alone, but best enjoyment will come from backing up to the beginning to get the full scope of the damaged relationship between the Vice President, his daughter, and a man he once considered a son.

Audiobook Review – The Sentinel – Simon Gervais
“The Sentinel” is Canadian author Simon Gervais’ sequel to the Clayton White series, “The Last Protector.” Book two is about ex-Secret Service agent Clayton White and his vow to protect the woman he loves who also happens to be the daughter of the double-dealing vice president. In this story the vice president who White has no love lost for, comes under attack, and calls upon White to help him track down the responsible party. White wants nothing to do with the notorious vice president and future father-in-law, who boasts a violent and erratic history. But with his fiancée’s life in the balance, White has no choice but to mend fences with the VP and jumps back into the fray, where he faces off with old and new enemies. The Sentinel is action packed, suspenseful, romantic, and adventurous. Gervais tells another stellar story that kept me interested and lead me to want more. As usual, Gervais’ character development was top-notch, and highly character driven. All the characters throughout the tale were captivating and well-crafted for the storyline. Also, the plot was imaginative and strong, and full of well-placed action and violence. I also commend Gervais on creating sinister villains that not only added to the story but in a lot of ways made the story exciting, thrilling, and gripping. Gervais is adept at engaging the reader with intense action, excitement, and wonderment. And The Last Sentinel has all these attributes. Just like its predecessor The Last Protector, The Last Sentinel, with its riveting cliffhanger will leave listeners wanting more. I certainly do and will continue the series with the hope that Gervais crafts book three of the series sooner than later. I highly recommend this series.

Enjoyable - Not Necessarily Memorable

I liked the way the book started and felt like there was sufficient action to keep me engaged. I would like it better if there was less focus on Clayton and Veronica's relationship. I also keep thinking there needs to be another operations-type character to partner with White. Pierre just doesn't quite fit the bill to me as the right sidekick for White. I thought it was going to be Perez, but that didn't work out. I did feel like the ending was a bit hurried especially in the resolution with Reza.

I'll read the third book just to finish the series. If there are more books after that one, I'm not sure I'm invested enough in the characters to go beyond book 3.

The narration is between 3 to 4 stars. Some voices are performed well, but some of reading is flat and makes the book drag.

How to turn gunfights into fist and knife fights

Formula for a Gervais fight. Get too close. Draw gun late. Lose gun. Struggle for bad guy's gun. Punches thrown. Bad guy loses his gun, too. Both draw a knife and get cut up. Somehow bad guy loses.

Stupidity that detracts from the story which isn't bad otherwise.

The reader is adequate. I listen at a faster speed so that the reader doesn't sound like he is dragging it out.

General White who was murdered in Book 1 was miraculously resurrected.

It was a terrible and in no way was a sequel to book 1. Plus I really hated the narrator
