The Last Thing I Remember

Imagine going to sleep one night, thinking about how you're going to ask out the girl you like and then waking up the next morning strapped to a chair, no memory of how you got there, and terrorists about to kill you. Well that's what happened to Charlie West. What follows is the stuff of movies: high speed chases, prison breaks, hidden lairs and murder. At first, Charlie hopes that it is all just a dream, but eventually he realizes its not, this is his reality. And the last thing he can remember is a year in the past. So what happened in that missing year? How did he get captured by terrorists? Did he really murder his best friend? And why is Detective Rose working so hard to capture him? Charlie must work to discover the answers to these questions, while at the same time trying to stop a massive terror strike - the details of which he of course cannot remember.

The Last Thing I Remember by Andrew Klavan is like The Bourne Identity for teens. Non-stop action, mystery and deceit fill every page. This book is part of The Homelanders series, which also inludes The Long Way Home, The Truth of the Matter, and The Final Hour. These books are fantastic, filled with plenty of high speed chases and explosions to keep any action/adventure fan happy. The first two books are a little slower than the latter two, simply because of all of the flashbacks (which, although they occur regularily throughout the series, are more concentrated in the first two books). However, all of the books are simply amazing. They also talk quite a bit about God and keeping your faith and trust in Him even when life seems at its lowest.

This book is reccomended for anyone who is a fan of The Bourne Identity, action and adventure and similar topics. Also, anyone interested in the CIA, FBI, etc. and undercover operations. Age reccomendations are for readers between the ages of 13 and 19. This series is definatley aimed at teens! Both boys and girls can read this series, even though the main character is a boy. It is also highly reccomended to reluctant readers because they are quick, easy and light reads. (I read them all in about a week)

You can find this series at your library or book store or at Amazon.com.

Enjoy and happy reading!!
