    He's a self-described beach bum who won his houseboat in a card game. He's also a knight errant who's wary of credit cards, retirement benefits, political parties, mortgages, and television. He only works when his cash runs out, and his rule is simple: he'll help you find whatever was taken from you, as long as he can keep half.

    Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

    Yes because it John D MacDonald.


    How could the performance have been better?

    Find Scott Brick or have the reader understand the nuances charactor and S L O W D O W N.


    Any additional comments?

    I have waited and requested the Travis McGee books but the reader completely destroys the story with his very poor performance. I do not take any pleasure in my criticism of the reader, but I do not appreciate what he has done to the character of Travis McGee.I will purchase one more book in hopes he improves.

    Anti-Terrorist Task Force agent John Corey and his wife, FBI agent Kate Mayfield, have been posted overseas to Sana'a, Yemen - one of the most dangerous places in the Middle East. While there, they will be working with a small team to track down one of the masterminds behind the USS Cole bombing: a high-ranking Al Qaeda operative known as The Panther. Ruthless and elusive, he's wanted for multiple terrorist acts and murders - and the U.S. government is determined to bring him down, no matter the cost.

    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

    My wife and I love DeMille's books but this one did not rise to his standards. We enjoy the the smart remarks and comebacks but this book just did not hold your attention like the others. Too much time spent stationary and planning. The tracking the panther was just too easy. The big "CIA plan" did not work but just take a small hike? Sub plot was fine but again resolution to easy.


    Would you recommend The Panther to your friends? Why or why not?

    Only to be able to say you have read all of DeMille's books.


    Which character – as performed by Scott Brick – was your favorite?

    John hands down. But I think Scott Brick could read the phone book and make it interesting.


    Was The Panther worth the listening time?

    Just.

    A call from a distraught wife, and another from Lt Murphy of the Chicago PD Special Investigation Unit makes Harry believe things are looking up, but they are about to get worse, much worse. Someone is harnessing immense supernatural forces to commit a series of grisly murders. Someone has violated the first law of magic: Thou Shalt Not Kill. Tracking that someone takes Harry into the dangerous underbelly of Chicago, from mobsters.
