The Lion's Game (Abridged) Audiobook

" I read this one ages - it's the first John Corey book about The Lion (a 'Radical' Muslim intent on exacting revenge on particular Americans). An excellent book - and one that sets the stage nicely for the latest DeMille thriller, The Lion. "

" Nelson DeMille spins a good thriller while actually doing a little character development. His mysteries are well above average -- have especially enjoyed "Plum Island," "The Charm School," The Gold Coast," and "The General's Daughter," This one is up to the standards of the others. A former NYPD detective, now assigned to a counterterrorism task force, pursues a Libyan terrorist. Hard to put down, which is a lot to say for a 900 page book. Give it a read. "

" could not put it down. "

" I admit I enjoy Nelson DeMille books. "

" My first book by Nelson DeMille. This is the 5th book in the John Corey series and I'll be reading the others soon. Great reading. I love that John Corey is a wise guy. I always love books done in first person as well. "

" Very good book.....a little scary "

" Loved the story line here. A great thriller. "

" Excellent sequel to Plum Island. Really enjoyed this and was very sad to get to the end. Sometimes I just read too damn fast!! "

" Written in 2000 with a plot about terrorist. Interesting to remember the world before 9/11. Some of what he said really came true, some not so much. But a OK read. "

" I enjoyed this book. It was interesting to see the story unfold between John Corey and the antagonist. Definitely a step up from Plun Island "

" I liked this book, kept me busy, I read the Lion prior to this, so althought out of order, it was fun reading. "

" I love Nelson DeMille "

" Lions Games (Deville--suspenseful--terrorism on US territory "

" Bombing of Tripoli Libya in 1986 in defence of a killing in Berlin. Retlaiation by Libians with the Pan Am Lockerbie plane bomb. Gadafi's adopted daughter killed in the bombing. Sons wounded. "

" This was simply awesome. My First read of Demille- surely not my last. "

" An interesting story but is basically a not-as-well-written Tom Clancy book. "

" Started out good but was too long. Wished he could've skipped some meetings.. "

" This was the best mystery ever. The plot was thick, well written and engaging. A must read if you like FBI mysteries. "

" I listen to audio books while walking on the treadmill. This is one of those books that kept me walking long past the time I would normally stop. "

" It was ok. The story line had some strong parts and a semi good twist at the end. But the story didnt really move along. Plus the ending was a little odd. "

" The book was so good, I could not put it down. I have read all but the last book in this series out of order. "

" Eerie as I read this book post-911 yet it was written and published so quickly afterward. "

" One of the two most engaging openings I've ever read. A trans-Atlantic flight lands on auto-pilot because everyone on board is dead. How can you not want to continue reading a book that starts like that? "

" This book had me hooked that I couldn't put it down! Talk about a great cat & mouse game played through out the book. If you like suspense/detective based novels, this is the ONE for you. Definitely one of my favs of Mr. Deville. "

" I love DeMille's protagonist, John Corey. He's witty, biased, not politically correct, and, most of all, a good detective. "

" Excellent reading...love the humor, the characters, the story line...Im now downloading the 3rd in the series..Cant wait to see whats in store !!! "

" Even better than Plum Island. DeMille is mixes wit with a solid plot complete with interesting twists and viable, likable characters. "

" I listen to audio books while walking on the treadmill. This is one of those books that kept me walking long past the time I would normally stop. "

" this book was absolutely amazing. couldn't put it down. "

" I read the sequel to this first but still enjoyed this excting story. I love how the author writes the about what the characters are thinking - lots of violence but some funny parts too. "

" I read this book the summer prior to 9/11. I could not put this book down and when 9/11 happened I could not believe how prescient Nelson DeMille was. "

" This book seemed like a prophecy of things that came later. It was a good story. "

" very meaningful in today's world. written before 9/11 but almost foreshadows it. "

" I'm a huge Nelson Demille fan - I love his humor & his characters, along with his disdain for various secret service agencies! "

" One of the better adventure novels featuring John Corey, and the assassin known as "The Lion." In light of current events in Libya, the story is timely. "

" Corey is so funny. Story is really good and interesting. Definitely keeps you in suspense. Ending was a bit weak, but a great read for the car. "
