Book

The Lion (2010)

Another De Mille book. I've not read these in any sequence therefore, John Corey and his Wife are in another pickle with a past foe Asad Kahlil, terrorist supreme, avid killer, and psychopath. Lots of people are dying, killed in many gruesome ways; shooting them being the less gruesome. I woul...

Book

The Panther (2012)

Book #6 in the John Corey Series, a direct sequel to The Lion, takes place in Yemen; pub. 2012. The plot is tissue paper thin, bloated, mostly predictable and, except for the last 60-70 pages, seriously lacking in action and suspense. The object is for John Corey and his wife Kate Mayfield to h...

Book

Der Löwe (2011)

Parts of the story were drawn out and then the ending was rushed.Khalil Asad returns to New York to finish what he started 3 years ago. He kills everyone he meets and attempts to kill Kate Mayfield, John Corey's wife. She recovers and John is under protection of the FBI and the ATTF. The whole...

Book

The Book Case (2011)

Just what the doctor ordered to counterbalance the page-long descriptions and meticulous details in the detective story (by a different author) I read previously. I gobbled this gem up in one sitting last night. One can never go wrong with detective John Corey's sarcastic, deadpan approach to sol...

Book

The Panther. by Nelson DeMille (2012)

Nelson DeMille is probably my 3rd or 4th favorite author. I've read 5 of his books and have enjoyed them all.I picked up 'The Panther' with high expectations. My expectations were not only met but far surpassed.What can I say? He is the master. He tells great compelling stories. The Panther has n...

Book

Wild Fire (2006)

I read a page of this book on someone else’s Kindle on a flight a few weeks ago and was intrigued enough by the premise that I bought and read it fairly quickly. Ultimately, that intriguing premise is all the book has to offer, unless you read a book for unfunny dialogue, a grating protagonist, a...

Book

Nelson DeMille Collection: Plum Island/Charm School/Word of Honor (2006)

Three abridged books on audio cassette tape. PLUM ISLAND: NYPD homicide detective John Corey is stuck in the Long Island farmer's town of Southold. When a big-time murder hits the small town, it's up to Corey to bring his big-city experience into the game. His investigation leads him into the lor...

Book

The Nelson DeMille Collection: Cathedral/Charm School/Word of Honor (1999)

The festivity of St. Patrick's Day explodes into a nightmare of bloody violence when an extremist offshoot of the IRA takes New York City by siege. They've kidnapped four of the city's most prominent citizens and are threatening to end their lives -- and completely demolish the beautiful and sacr...

Book

The General's Daughter (1993)

This was a a really good story, but it lost a star for being first person which really jars me off and the badly written romantic element. I doubt this will be for everyone,The violent and sexual scenes are not written gratuitously but they don't need to be, they provide a chilling enough pictur...

Book

The Lion's Game (2002)

Second in the John Corey suspense series revolving around a former NYPD detective. This story takes place before the Twin Towers and after the World Trade Center bombing and TWA 800.My TakeThis one was depressing. Oh, Corey is just as snarky as ever...thank god. I do enjoy his brand of humor. You...

Book

The Gold Coast (2009)

Book

Mayday (1998)

This is some of the best disaster fiction out there. At first, it seems to follow the basic pattern of such novels: there's some sort of disaster, and a few people are randomly picked to survive, and have to find a way to get back home. Mayday, however, deviated from this basic formula. The plot ...

Book

By the Rivers of Babylon (2015)

John Corey is my favorite Nelson DeMille character but I think this may be my new favorite book of his. By The Rivers Of Babylon is amazing, an adventure story that also acts as a meditation on war and peace, a glimpse into battle strategy, a rumination on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (and ot...

Book

Word of Honor (1998)

The last Demille book I had read was THE LION. And, I couldn’t wait to get it off my back. It was that bad. So, it was with great reluctance that I picked up the WORD OF HONOR. Reluctance because it was written by Demille, and THE LION was still chasing me. And, secondly the book was blurb-ed as ...

Book

Plum Island (2002)

First in the John Corey suspense series revolving around a cop in New York City convalescing from bullet wounds. Although, the story actually takes place in Long Island.My TakeOh my god. I swear, if you look up "snark" in the dictionary, you'll find John Corey's picture. He is so incredibly funny...

Book

The Charm School (2015)

* One of the last Cold War novels of the Cold War period. Published in 1988, the book, with its POW/MIA theme--and its setting in a mighty USSR--is situated more comfortably in the decade of Rambo than in the political reality of the late eighties/early nineties. In '89, the Berlin Wall came do...

Book

Up Country (2003)

There was a story about novelist and Vietnam veteran Nelson DeMille in a recent issue of American Legion magazine. I was struck by the similarity between his Vietnam tour and my first one: to the 1st Cavalry Division in November 1967, battles in Bong Son, then north to Quang Tri for Tet, the reli...

Book

Spencerville (1994)

Nelson Demille arrived on my favorite authors list after reading The Gatehouse, so I was anxious to read another selection and found Spencerville in the library.Keith Landry finds himself without a job after budget cuts in the federal government force him to review his life and decide what comes ...

Book

The Talbot Odyssey (1991)

I'm a huge DeMille fan, but only thought this one was okay. It started off really jumbled, meaning, a lot of characters got introduced relatively quickly, and a lot of the "spy talk" and double talk made the intent sort of hard to grasp. Although, as you keep reading everything gets easier to und...

Book

The Gate House (2008)

When John Sutter's aristocratic wife killed her mafia don lover, John left America and set out in his sailboat on a three-year journey around the world, eventually settling in London. Now, ten years later, he has come home to the Gold Coast, that stretch of land on the North Shore of Long Island ...

Book

Rendezvous

Maybe that was true in the animal kingdom, I remember thinking, but with human beings, the male was more dangerous. I changed my mind about this when I crossed paths with a very deadly lady with a rifle, who was intent on killing me and everyone around me. I was a young infantry officer doing a t...

Book

Radiant Angel

What would I do without her? I’d use my GPS. Tess seemed to be having second thoughts. She asked, “Are you sure we should be doing this?” “What else would you like to do tonight?” “Maybe our job is to stay with the police at Tamorov’s, then work the case at police headquarters.” “Actually, I have...

Book

Cathedral

The sidewalks were crowded with revelers engaged in the traditional barhopping. Paper shamrocks and harps were plastered against the windows of most shops and restaurants. There was an old saying that St. Patrick's Day was the day the Irish marched up Fifth Avenue and staggered down Third, and Bu...

Book

Night Fall

CIA “Analytic Assessment,” March 28, 1997 CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO Home Not having contracted malaria or been abducted, kidnapped, or murdered, I arrived at JFK on a Delta flight from London at 4:05P.M. on the Friday after Labor Day, having spent about forty days and forty nights in the desert wild...

Book

The Quest: A Novel

Mercado sat on the far right, and Vivian had taken the chair next to him, though Mercado was pointedly ignoring her. Gann had sat himself between Vivian and Purcell, and behind them was a soldier armed with an AK-47 automatic rifle. Purcell was surprised that Getachu had included Gann in this mee...

Hell of a story teller. 'Up Country' taught me more about the Vietnam than anyone would want to know.
