- source:
- content: The specter of international terrorism is dramatically played out in a trans-continental chase. DeMille cleverly juxtaposes ex-NYPD detective John Corey against a Libyan terrorist, dubbed "The Lion." Narrator Boyd Gaines sets a fast pace from the opening scenes as a "no-radio" jetliner lands at Kennedy Airport. Listeners will want to stay with him every step. Gaines is smooth and fast with wisecracking Corey's sarcasm and equally believable with the icy fanaticism of the terrorist. The FBI, CIA and even the Secret Service take roles in the drama, giving Gaines the opportunity for lots of "law enforcement" voices. The romance of Corey and FBI agent Kate Mayfield relieves the high-powered action enough for occasional respite. DeMille's complex thriller is smartly delivered by Boyd Gaines. R.F.W.

Starred review from January 3, 2000
John Corey, former NYPD Homicide detective and star of DeMille's Plum Island, is back in this breezily narrated high-octane thriller about the hunt for a Libyan terrorist who has set his sights on some very specific targets--the Americans who bombed Libya on April 15, 1986. The novel begins with a tense airport scene--a transcontinental flight from Paris is flying into New York, and no one has been able to contact the pilot via radio. On the flight is Asad Khalil, a Libyan defector who will be met by Special Contract Agent Corey, his FBI "mentor" Kate Mayfield, and the rest of the Federal Anti-Terrorist Task Force. But when the plane lands, everyone on board is dead--except Khalil, who disappears after attacking the ATTF's airport headquarters. Has he left the country? Not if John Corey's right--and we know he is, thanks to gripping third-person chapters detailing Khalil's mission alternating with Corey's easy-going first-person narration. And by making Khalil, who lost most of his family in the 1986 bombing, as much of a protagonist as Corey, DeMille adds several shades of gray to what in less skillful hands might have been cartoonishly black and white. If anything, the reader ends up rooting for the bad guy, Khalil, with his mission of vengeance, is a more complex character than John Corey, who never drops his ex-cop bravado (thus trivializing a romance that moves from first date to proposal of marriage within the few days the plot covers). But as usual, DeMille artfully constructs a compulsively readable thriller around a troubling story line, slowly developing his villain from a faceless entity into a nation's all-too-human nemesis. Agent, Nick Ellison. 500,000 first printing; major ad/promo; BOMC main selection; 12-city author tour; Time-Warner audio.

December 15, 1999
Lifting a creepy detail from the Flying Dutchman legend--a ship manned by corpses--DeMille raises the curtain on a new John Corey mystery with a 747 landing itself at New York. Onboard, everyone is dead. The macabre scene alarms the NYPD's Corey even more because the deceased do not include a particular prisoner-passenger listed on the manifest, Asad Khalil, "defecting" Libyan terrorist. Since Corey's best-selling exploits in "Plum Island" (1997), he has joined an interagency team slated to take Khalil into custody. The perils of Khalil being at large are immediately impressed upon Corey and his new FBI love interest when they discover half their colleagues murdered. Switching to omniscient narration, DeMille flashes back to clarify Khalil's motivation: he seeks vengeance for the death of his family in the 1986 U.S. air strike against Libya, and he proceeds to wreak it with psychopathic efficiency. Suspense arises from Corey and company's pursuit of Khalil, a mission complicated by Corey's suspicions of the CIA contingent assigned to the case and by Corey's un-PC, antiauthoritarian sarcasm. Flouting orders at every opportunity, Corey gradually puts the pieces together to figure out what readers have long known: Khalil is systematically knocking off the pilots of the 1986 raid. The wild climax leaves the coast clear for a sequel, and why not? DeMille again puts daylight between himself and the competition in the international-thriller sweepstakes.

- content: This gem of a book sparkles even more with its virtuoso performance by Scott Brick. A Libyan terrorist arrives in the U.S. to avenge a bombing mission upon his homeland, which killed his family. For starters, he kills a planeload of people. Then Assad Khalil systematically begins killing every former U.S. airman involved in the bombing mission. He is pursued by former cop turned anti-terrorist agent John Corey. From the beginning, Brick's reading is lighthanded and understated. He delivers the irrepressible Corey's one-liners with a humorous touch that seems to sometimes surprise even himself. Though meant to be a straight forward thriller, Demille's writing and Brick's delivery give it a surprising humor. And though Brick's foreign accents aren't perfect, he gets the lion's share of the praise for his super reading of this captivating thriller. A.L.H. (c) AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine
