Last Run: A Novel

by Leonard B. Scott

For the men of Sierra Company, 75th Rangers, the Vietnam war means more than loyalty to their country. It means loyalty to each other.

You don't choose your comrades in war—they are assigned to you. And there, in the jungle, where there is no past or future, men from totally different backgrounds forget their differences and struggle with the basic questions of survival. The Last Run  is an action-packed story of men at war—and of the unseen wounds our veterans brought home.

Author Leonard B. Scott also wrote the bestselling Vietnam novel Charlie Mike , which was hailed by The Washington Post  as “vivid, compelling . . . One of the finest novels yet written about the Vietnam war.” Like Charlie Mike, The Last Run  is a story you will never forget.

Last run

I enjoy reading Mr. Scotts novels as they are well researched and authentic. Col. Scott has many years in the service and it shows in his stories. He gets you interested in the characters and then just makes you feel like you are there. If you like stories of war, well researched novels you will enjoy reading Mr. Scotts books.
