Left Behind 3: Last Chance is the concluding book in P T Saunders's Left Behind series. Like books, one and two, this has plenty of twists and turns, and offers a glimpse into the darker side of the armed forces and policing out of the public gaze, by someone who knows. Written cleverly and in short chapters, you’ll struggle to put the book down until you finish it.
