"You're not alone. You're never alone." Charlie West has held on to that belief, but now he's starting to wonder. He went to bed one night an ordinary high-school kid. When he woke up, he was wanted for murder and hunted by a ruthless band of terrorists. He's been on the run ever since. Now he's stuck in prison, abandoned by his allies, trying desperately to stay a step ahead of vicious prison gangs and brutal guards. And a flash of returning memory tells him another terrorist strike is coming—soon. A million people will die unless he does something. But what? He's stuck in a concrete cage with no way out and no one who can help. Charlie has never felt so alone—and yet he knows he can't give in or give up . . . not with the final hour ticking away. “A thriller that reads like a teenage version of 24 . . . an adrenaline-pumping adventure.” —TheDailyBeast.com (review of The Last Thing I Remember)

Charlie West woke up one morning to find himself being tortured by terrorists with absolutely no memory of what happened during the last year of his life. And, to make it worse, he's wanted by the police for the murder of his best friend. Over the next couple of months, Charlie is faced with a ridiculous amount of misfortune on his quest to clear his name and expose his would-be murderers.I'm actually starting to think Andrew Klavan is incapable of writing a boring scene. Practically every sentence is packed to bursting with suspense. From a dogfight through the streets of New York to dodging subway trains in a shootout with the Homelanders, Klavan never lets up on the thrills.And now, it's finally over. The final hour has come and gone, answering every question; revealing every mystery. Every fan of the previous books will need to get their hands on this truly satisfying conclusion to the insanely epic series.
Love all of Andrew Klavan' s books. I ordered all of the young adult ones and some of the adult ones he has written. All of his books are intriguing and very clean. No swear words for the young adults. I am so impressed with his writing and including God in his stories. Very uplifting and what a surprise to finally find great books that are so enjoyable.
I've really enjoyed Klavan's Homelanders Series and this final book is an excellent end to a suspenseful and action-packed story. Teen super-hero Charlie West is in one of the most dangerous prisons in the country for a crime he didn't commit. And amidst his struggle to stay alive in prison, he is also one of the only people left with knowledge of an upcoming terrorist attack on America. He struggles through his fear and circumstances in order to save the people in this creative and fantastic adventure.Each book in this series brings a piece of the mystery and character of Charlie West. It's not a "deep" story so much as it is action-packed, but many important issues are brought up in the realms of faith, politics, violence, war and terrorism, patriotism, good versus evil, and even identity. As a mother, this is the kind of story I'd want to discuss with my teenagers after each book, and I am pleased that The Final Hour does have a Reading Group Guide for further reflection.I received a complimentary copy of this book as a part of the Thomas Nelson Book Review Blogging Program through booksneeze.com.
This series was great. I flew right through it. Every page of each book is action packed, and it is very difficult to put down the book. I had to make sure I ordered all of the books at once so there was no wait time between books.This series is about an All-American boy who finds himself in an anti-American situation with no recollection of how he got there. Throughout each of the books you gather the missing puzzle pieces along with the main character to find out what happened and why. This book is the fourth and final in the series, and it does not disappoint.The only thing that I think would detract some readers is that the main character finds his strength in God throughout the books. I found it refreshing that the author includes this, reminding us that for some people religious faith plays an important role in their lives. This should not be a deterrent for readers, though, as it is not a main focus and does not affect the plot whatsoever.Overall, I enjoyed this book and this series. I think it's a great read for anyone over the age of 13 who enjoys exciting, action-packed books.
Are you ready for the final story of Charlie West? The Final Hour brings all the action and drama to a close as Charlie finds out what really happened during the year of life he could not remember. Charlie contends with more terrorist actions and the struggle to stay alive and one step ahead. This last book in The Homelanders series is as good as the first three.I would highly recommend this series to anyone, but especially to teens. Action is combined with Charlie's struggles to make the right decisions and trust God. These books are fast paced and will keep you up till you finish.[...]
The Final Hour is book 4 of this series. The series comes to a close with an exciting conclusion after the journey that Charlie West has endured. A year of his life had been erased from his memory, as it slowly returns to him he remembers details to a terrorist plot that he must stop. A fugitive from the law he escapes from prison and tries to stop the attack before it is too late. Charlie has to evade the police and FBI as he tries to stop the Homelanders terrorist attack. As his memories returned piece by piece, Charlie learns what he must do.This is a great series that I can't recommend enough. Klavan writes the characters so that you feel that you know them and are on the journey with them. Excellent conclusion to an amazing series!
I picked up the first book at a thrift store, I read it in a day. My son picked it up and did the same. I couldn't stop reading it. I went online and ordered the entire set. Now that was great. I read them so fast. But the delay in waiting to find out what happened next drovecrazy. This is a good series for adults and pre teens.
