Summary: Good, but Disappointing.
Review: Fairly well done thriller, but one expects much more from this author. Certainly, it isn't up to his usual standards. This book has an odd structure and the ending seems rushed and perfunctory. A very disappointing effort and much less than what has come to be expected from N.D. I'm glad I waited for the paperback issue.

Summary: Awesome! All I expected it to be and then some!
Review: I could not keep my hands off of this book! I read it on my lunch break at work, while I was cooking dinner and well into the night when I should have been sleeping. I highly recommend this latest adventure from Nelson DeMille. John Corey is really one of a kind. I love his outragious remarks and his sense of humor. I just finished reading it two days ago, and I could pick it up and start all over again!

Summary: Couldn't put this one down
Review: Being a retired police sergeant and a pilot I related to this book. John Corey,a NYPD Homicide Detective, assigned as a special Contract Agent for the Federal Anti-Terrorist Task Force tells the story like you are listening to "war stories" from cops at all large PD's. He tells it like it is, and you won't want to put this one down for a bathroom break. I read Tom Block in Flying Magazine. His contribution is right on. If you run into "Asad Khalil" kill him right there.

Summary: Another page-turner by Nelson Demille
Review: I found it difficult to put the book down. As with other Demille books, the sundry topics and locales described in the story appear to have been well researched. I disagree with those who think that the book was bloated with much irrelevant detail (such as the Lion's conversations with pilots) but I agree whole heartedly with Steven Greene who wrote: "I really liked the technique of interspersing chapters narrated by Corey with chapters describing the actions and thinking of the Lion. However [and unfortunately], DeMille dropped this during the climactic final section of the novel...." I would have preferred the continuation of insterpersed narratives: e.g., of the Lion's trip to the ranch and perhaps a kind of epilogue for his exit. Perhaps Demille did include such a narrative and the editors suggested cutting it out. Anyway, I hope Demille writes a sequel.

Summary: A Classic Book!
Review: Without question another masterpeice from DeMille. This is one of the better books that I have ever read. Asad Khalil turns himself over to American authorities in Paris pretending to defect. When the plane lands in New York the sequence of events begins. The whole plane full of passengers has been killed.Asad has escaped and is loose on the streets of America.In reality Khalil is in America seeking vengance for the death of his mother,2 brothers,and his 2 sisters who were killed in the bombing raid on Libya in 1986. Our hero from Plum Island, John Corey definitely has his hands full with Asad. Asad a stone killer is leaving a stack of bodies across the country on his jihad. It is up to the ATTF to find and stop Khalil. Corey and Kate Mayfield have their hands full. This book thank goodness will call for a sequel. I can hardly wait. Read this book and become frightened. It is good.

Summary: So Mesmerizing...I'm Afraid It Could Happen Someday
Review: Another great Nelson DeMille read! At first I wasn't sure if this was better than Plum Island or not. After the first 100 pages I couldn't put it down. I read the whole book in 3 days and I'm ready for the sequel! Nelson sure knows how to get your attention, hold onto it and then send you reeling. I hope to meet Kate someday to see if she really looks as good as I imagine her to. John Corey is one lucky guy if my imagination is right! This would make a great movie as would Plum Island. I was pleased to see recently that Columbia Pictures has bought the rights to both works. I look forward to seeing these adapted to the big screen

Summary: Much too long!
Review: We are BIG Demille fans. Been readinG since GOLD COAST AND CHARM SCHOOL - loved PLUM ISLAND. But this latest best seller is a whopping 677 pages that seemed like a milion. Slow, snails travel at light speed compared to this book. Only thing longer and duller, also making money off of his name for past products in Clancy

Summary: A big disappointment
Review: I've been waiting a while for this as it took it's time being released in paperback in the UK. John Corey is back and cracking wise with the best of them. A real love him/hate him character has changed little from Plum Island despite a new job. A mostly new supporting cast, none of them amazingly interesting and a few new friends. The general outline of most thrillers of this kind is: 1. Unexpected Incident 2. Tense cat and mouse 3. Big confrontation All these were here. The confrontation won't be to everyone's taste but it was fine for me. What got me so down on this book was that between 1 and 2 there is a period of about 400 pages where Corey and co do little more then go to meetings. This seemed to serve little purpose other than padding. I did enjoy reading the book. I like the character and De Mille's slightly subversive subject matter. But this big dead patch that made up abolut half the book was so unlike what I'm used to. Other De Mille novels don't let up for a second.

Summary: Great Start - Feeble Conclusion
Review: Demille has been consistently one of my favorite authors - hitting memorable highs with Gold Coast and Plum Island. With Lions Game he has gone from boom to bust. The thrilling and imaginative beginning gradually unravels to an imcomprehensible conclusion. What is all this John and Kate nonsense - ending up at the altar after Kate more or less extracts (molar like) a proposal from our courageous hero? What is with the Lion disappearing in the end - are we being primed for a sequel? What is with the sale of character names to charity? After reading this book I feel less like a happy satisfied reader than grist for some marketing mill with an unknown agenda. Demille - find your pace again or you will start losing loyal readers!!

Summary: Demille....Good, but could get better
Review: This book has the most disappointing ending of any i've read in a long time. You invest a lot of time and energy in 850+ pages to be disappointed at the end. It was still good Demille writing...I'm expecting a sequel to close up the loose ends.
