About this listen

“Stunning.... Steinhauer reinforces his position at the top of the espionage genre.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

New York Times best-selling author Olen Steinhauer brings back Milo Weaver in a new novel, The Last Tourist.

In Olen Steinhauer’s best seller An American Spy, reluctant CIA agent Milo Weaver thought he had finally put "Tourists" - CIA-trained assassins - to bed.

A decade later, Milo is hiding out in Western Sahara when a young CIA analyst arrives to question him about a series of suspicious deaths and terrorist chatter linked to him.

Their conversation is soon interrupted by a new breed of Tourists intent on killing them both, forcing them to run.

As he tells his story, Milo is joined by colleagues and enemies from his long history in the world of intelligence, and the young analyst wonders what to believe. He wonders, too, if he’ll survive this encounter.

After three stand-alone novels, Olen Steinhauer returns to the series that made him a New York Times best seller.

A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books

"Olen Steinhauer is one of the most talented of the new generation of spy writers. His characters are nuanced, his storylines rooted in today’s headlines but with added zing, like a burst of citrus in a dry Martini...the skill of Steinhauer’s writing makes this much more than a standard chase thriller." (Financial Times)

DAVID PITTU is a two-time Tony Award nominee, as well as the award-winning narrator of countless audiobooks, ranging in genre from young adult (Scholastic’s 39 Clues series) to spy fiction (Olen Steinhauer’s The Last Tourist and Milo Weaver series) to the contemporary fiction of authors such as Jeffrey Eugenides (The Marriage Plot) and Donna Tartt (The Goldfinch) and many more.

Pittu received the Audie Award for Best Male Solo Narration for The Goldfinch, which also received the Audie for Best Literary Fiction.

Not only a veteran theater actor, he works regularly in film and television. He lives in New York City.

A bit disappointing

Not on par with previous books in the series. It’s unfortunate the writer didn’t have another outlet to vent his personal frustrations about actual current political events. It ruined an otherwise great book series. I would be hesitant to read another series by this author.

Good story spoiled.

This was a well written story with excellent characters spoiled when the author and narrated decided to introduce a political far left hatred of the current President of the USA - probably my last Olen Steinhauer - the first three of four were also excellent without the in youR face politics - orange man bad - capitalism bad. 🥴

A little slow

The story was not up to par with the previous 3 and had a bit too much political commentary for me. Detracted from the story to push his liberal ideology. The main premise of the story didn’t culminate to wrap up the overall series. I could have done without this one.

More twists that a bag of Halloween candy

This story of espionage and international high jinx requires careful attention by the listener. It is set in the modern world. of international relations, espionage and global corporate unaccountability. The plot is believable, and the audio delivery is outstanding, especially considering the large cast of characters involved. I rarely read fiction a second time, but this may be a worthwhile endeavor given the myriad of facts and twists involved. If you miss George Smiley this book may well be for you!

Disappointed After a Long Wait

I’ve loved every other book that Steinhauer has written. All five stars. This one however was too dependent upon books written almost ten years ago. It certainly couldn’t be a stand alone novel and of course it wasn’t meant to be. Too choppy, moving parts that didn’t flow like his previous works. Nothing like his “Bridge Of Sighs” series that meshed wonderfully. I still look forward to his next one.

Hard to turn off.

Great to have Milo back. Complex and up to date with our current international environment.

I need to come back and review more...

It just wasn't top shelf Steinhauer and not comparable to le Carre. I liked it, but there wasn't that spark that I keep hoping to find in Steinhauer. His first books were SO GOOD. His last have been solid, but feel sterile. Smart but with antiseptic characters. I'll leave it at that for now.

Milo Weaver et al

What a fantastic ride this has been - the entire series and all of it's character & storyline development. If this is indeed the last, I will miss Milo & Co.

Welcome back, Milo Weaver

So good to have Milo Weaver back! Once again Olen Steinhauer has woven a riveting story that's kept me not only riveted but up way past my bedtime.

Excellent

I am so happy Milo Weaver and crew are back. This was a deeply involved story with many twists. Steinhauer did well. The narrator is superb.
