About the book

When the past returns to finish what it started…

how do you fight a war no one believes is real?

Billy Houston has escaped the betrayals that nearly destroyed him.
From the beaches of Thailand, he rebuilds—
a best-selling memoir, a booming new business,

But peace never lasts.
Not for men with targets on their backs.

A new threat emerges from inside the empire he rebuilt.

The Last Stand is a globe-spanning thriller of survival, sabotage, and the brutal price of telling the truth.

This is Billy’s reckoning.
And even now… the war is far from over.
