Carl Bridger is on a mission to rescue his grandson from rebels. This suspense-filled story is well written and will leave readers yearning for more. Aviation fans will enjoy this book since it has many flight scenes, and the author delves into the technicalities of aeronautical technology.

The Last Rider by Spencer is a great book. After reading it brought my mind to a real war shows authers' writing skills greatly. Another thing it gives is how soldiers dealing with their family life feel emotional. Auther shows well how important team work and helping each other during a war when Cody and Perry injured captured my heart.

Thrillers have never been my genre. However, the review indicates that the book is well-written with believable characters. I believe the book would be quite appealing to readers who enjoy this genre.

If you are a pilot, a vet, a father or grandfather, you must tread this book. One of the best adventure Stories of all time. I can't wait to see the movie. If you liked iron eagle, you will love Spencer Anderson's the last raider. This book is full of adventures and I quite like the plotting arrangements.

I like the fact that the writing employs vivid descriptions whereby the reader will experience a rollercoaster of emotions, not knowing what each flight will bring. I also enjoy the fact that the book is a combination of several themes, such as a flourishing love story and an integration of the human mind and technology. Thanks for the review!

Love and acts of kindness are a good mix of values in the themes of this book. There are few people out there, as lucky as Cody, whose relatives can launch a daring, risky operation such as the one his grand father Carl embarked upon to rescue him from enemy hands.
Thanks for the great review.

This sounds like Ace Combat, a flight simulator combat flying video game. Fly a B25 into enemy territory to rescue personnel on a near suicide mission. Totally sounds like a mission from that video game.

Let's see what is interesting hidden story lying in this book. There must be some thing interesting that made this book be listed on BOTD. Congrats
