Purchase options and add-ons

From New York Times bestselling authors Catherine Coulter and J.T. Ellison comes a riveting thriller pitting special agents Nicholas Drummond and Michaela Caine against a private French space agency that has the power to end the world as we know it.

Galactus, France’s answer to SpaceX, has just launched a communications satellite into orbit, but the payload actually harbors a frightening weapon: a nuclear bomb that can trigger a massive electromagnetic pulse (EMP).

When the satellite is in position, Galactus’s second-in-command, Dr. Nevaeh Patel, will have the power to lay waste to the world with an EMP. A former astronaut, Patel believes she is following the directions of the Numen, aliens who saved her life when she space-walked outside the International Space Station. She is convinced that with the Holy Grail, just discovered by the owner of Galactus—eccentric treasure hunter Jean-Pierre Broussard—she can be reunited with the Numen, change the world’s destiny, and become immortal with them.

The countdown has begun when Special Agents Nicholas Drummond and Michaela Caine are thrown into the pending disaster. They must stop the EMP that would wreak havoc on communication and electronic systems on Earth, resulting in chaos and anarchy.

With their signature “nonstop action with enough realism to keep you thinking and scare the daylights out of you at the same time” (Suspense Magazine), Coulter and Ellison have created a thriller to take you on a breakneck and breathtaking journey.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"[S]eamlessly plotted..." ― Publishers Weekly

"Aliens communicating from outer space, and a search for the Holy Grail, seem the stuff of science fiction,
but in the capable hands of Coulter and Ellison, they become an Indiana Jones–style, high-concept
adventure thriller about a race to save the world." ― Booklist, starred review

“Coulter and Ellison are a thriller writer’s dream team, and The Last Second is some of their best work yet.“ ― The Real Book Spy

"Coulter and Ellison’s series has locked itself into a wonderful groove.... The Last Second is a perfect example of a popcorn movie in print form, and their latest in this series arguably is the best one to date." ― AP News

5 Stars
This was one of my favorite Brit in the FBI books so far!
I absolutely adore Catherine Coulter and this book did not disappoint! So much action Drummond and Caine (And Grant Thornton here and there) race against time to save the world once again. This time we have a psychotic former astronaut bent on helping the Numen (beings she claims to have met while in space) come to Earth using a EMP and nuclear bomb to make this happen. From start to finish this book had me hooked! I can’t wait to see where Mike and Nicholas end up next!

While entertaining, a four-star rating is probably a bit generous. The plot was quite preposterous. I have enjoyed the main characters of Nicholas and Mike and will miss a “happy ending” closure for them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grippping race

Nicholas Drummond and Michaela Caine are back to save the world - this time from a former astronaut who claims to have contacted aliens ...
This storyline mixes the delusions of a woman and the so-called heaven stone or Holy Grail. Both fascinating topics.
Mike and Nicholas get involved in this case when their friend Grant is lost while protecting a wealthy businessman/adventurer after the ship disappears with all hands - and ends up in the middle of an attempt to take over the world. Once the chase is on, Mike and Nicholas race to avert Armageddon.
My only criticism is that there is a slow start - but once everything starts moving it moves at a frantic pace. The storyline is very believable and caused hours of lost sleep (one more chapter syndrome).
Sadly, Ms. Coulter has stated this is the last book in the series - gonna miss Nicholas and Mike.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Winner but I never expected less!
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2019
Verified Purchase
Ms. Coulter & Ms. Ellison have had my attention for ages and since the first Brit in the FBI book, even more so. They work well together to make the books enjoyable and believable. This book was no exception. I was worried, at first, that Nicholas & Mike would be 'fighting' aliens - I was quickly relieved to discover that it was only someone who believed in aliens, but that's all I'm saying so as not to ruin the book for other readers.

By the time I finished the book, I was already anxious to find out when the next one would be out and where it would take me. But then, I always feel that way after any book that Ms. Coulter or Ms. Ellison writes. I have been thankful for years that they share their wonderful talent and stories with the world. Please never stop!

My aunt requested this book for her birthday. This is listed as new and mostly looks new, but when I received the book I was dismayed to see a couple of lines made by a marker, usually a way of discounting a book. If this was for me I wouldn't care as much, but where it's a gift and was not labeled anything other than "New" I'm really bothered by this. Weighing the option of returning it and getting her something to replace it.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2019
Verified Purchase
It took me a while to get into the story. But once all the moving parts started to coalesce - WOW. What a clever plot, with twists, turns and unexpected things happening on so many fronts. Coulter is one of the best, if not the best, of today's fiction writers. I lost sleep over this book because I didn't want to stop reading it until I finished it. Honestly, until three-quarters of the way through the book I didn't understand what motivated the villain (for lack of a better word). Well done! Just really well done. At 75 years old I don't have a lot of reading years left. I have read every book put out by Catherine Coulter. Please, write faster. And thank you for so many pleasurable hours over the years.
