        The Final Hour by Andrew Klavan is the fourth and final book in the Homelanders series. In the first book the main character Charlie West goes to sleep in his bed one night and then wakes up strapped to a chair with bad guys trying to kill him. Somehow he manages to escape and call the police. The police are no help; when they come they arrest him for killing his best friend. The rest of the books up to the Final Hour are about Charlie running from the police and the bad guys and trying to get his memory back.

        In the Final Hour Charlie has managed to get most of his memory back. He now knows that he was an undercover agent for the U.S. and that the bad guys are a terrorist group called the Homelanders. The Homelanders are trying to bring down the U.S. Charlie's mission is to get into the group and bring them down from the inside. Charlie also remembers their big plan to attack America and he has one chance to stop them. If he can't, millions of innocent people will die.


        This book was great. It had tons of action and suspense. There were hardly any boring parts in this book it was just go go go. Another thing I really enjoyed about this book was that at the end of every chapter was a mini cliff hanger that kept the reader interested in the story. A large reason this book was so entertaining was that you as the reader didn't know how anything started and you have to find out so you keep turning the pages. So for these reasons I'm giving it an A.

        I do need to mention that this series and book was very violent. There were multiple scenes where people were shot or beat up. Charlie is being chased by trained killers so it's kind of expected. So if violence and blood bothers you I wouldn't suggest reading this.
