Last Target Standing
After the largest terrorist attack in US history is narrowly foiled, the sole enemy survivor has only one name to provide his interrogators: Ghulam Samedi, a fugitive hiding in the rugged mountains of China’s Xinjiang Province.
As part of the CIA’s newly-minted targeted killing program, David Rivers and his team are tasked with assassinating Samedi.
But once they are inside China, there will be no backup, no air support, and no escape—only a handful of local assets with dubious motivations. The location is known for its opium smugglers, violent separatist movement, and heavy deployment of Chinese secret police.
Which is exactly why Rivers’ team of former mercenaries was assembled for this covert operation. They are unilateral, unattributable, and if things go wrong, utterly expendable.
As Rivers embarks on his most challenging mission yet, he will stop at nothing to hunt down Samedi…the last target standing between him and a sinister conspiracy with global implications.

Jason Kasper
Jason Kasper doesn’t write thrillers that let you breathe easy. He writes the kind that drag you into the shadows and keep you there, pulse ticking, until the final chapter. His work is a high-wire act of tension and authenticity—because he’s not just imagining danger. He’s lived it.
Before turning to fiction, Kasper served as a U.S. Army Special Forces officer, with combat deployments in Afghanistan and a firsthand understanding of the stakes behind the missions. That real-world experience bleeds through every page of his bestselling Shadow Strike and Spider Heist series. You can feel it in the precision of the action scenes, in the way his characters calculate risk and navigate chaos. These aren’t just thrillers—they’re field-tested adrenaline shots.
