Publisher's summary

In this eagerly awaited follow-up to The Lion's Game, John Corey, former NYPD Homicide detective and special agent for the Anti-Terrorist Task Force, is back. And, unfortunately for Corey, so is Asad Khalil, the notorious Libyan terrorist otherwise known as "The Lion". Last we heard from him, Khali had claimed to be defecting to the US only to unleash the most horrific reign of terrorism ever to occur on American soil. While Corey and his partner, FBI agent Kate Mayfield, chased him across the country, Khalil methodically eliminated his victims one by one and then disappeared without a trace.

Now, years later, Khalil has returned to America to make good on his threats and take care of unfinished business. "The Lion" is a killing machine once again loose in America with a mission of revenge, and John Corey will stop at nothing to achieve his own goal - to find and kill Khahil.

Fantastic

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend any of Nelson DeMille's books especially the John Corey books!

What did you like best about this story?

The fast pace, the inability to stop listening because you can't wait to see how it all turns out.

What about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?

He is wonderful and sounds just like what you would expect John Corey to sound like.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Both!

Any additional comments?

I hope the author will continue to write more books with The Corey's!!

Riveting, but Gruesome in parts

DeMille's story is, as usual, very interesting and compelling. Interest remains high throughout, and it moves very fast. Some of the descriptions of killings are a bit over the top, and I wondered why some of the gory details where necessary. But overall, I enjoyed it, and would recommend.

Good story and naration

Good story. Gory by nature of terrorism. A
I appreciate “no sex” by hero and does not demean women or treat like objects

A Very Gripping Tale

Having enjoyed The Lion's Game, I very much looked forward to hearing this book, and I was not disappointed. Although we knew John Cory was going to win in the end, I was not able to preduct the twists and turns. At times the narrative was so intense it made me want to stop listening and come back later. Overall it was everything I hoped for.

love Nelson Demille!

Scott Brick is great. Hope he continues with all Nelson Demille books. Keep it up

Best DeMille Yet.

DeMille writes a riveting story that keeps you on the edge of your seat, every minute! I thought this was the so well written.
Although violent and graphic...for those of you who were offended.
REMEMBER..Mr. DeMille was in Viet Nam...his researchers and advisors are top notch people, that are aware of what the terrorists of the AlQuaida and Teleban do to their prisoners.
They don't sit over milk and cookies and try to cajole information!......
I thought this was an excellent read as well as a reminder of what our enemies are capable of and have done. It should be a wake up call to all who read.

Great follow up!

I listened to The Lions Game a while back and was very excited to hear how it would end. The book opened with an intensity that made my heart race. The ending...well my heart was racing but not as much as I thought it would. Never-the-less it was a great listen.

Scott Brick has captured my ear to the point I now seek out books based on his narration.

Nelson DeMille has produced yet another edge of your seat listen. I found myself in many "driveway moments" where I didn't want to turn the car off.

The Lion by Nelson DeMille

One more time Nelson DeMille has not let me down. From beginning to end a good read. John Corey is one of my favorite characters.

Amazing!

very well written! Scott's reading was incredible! I so enjoy the performance of two artists that are at the top of their game!

The 10 year wait for Corey was worth it!

For all the John Corey fans waiting for the next phase after the Lions Game, the wait is over and you won't be disappointed. Scott Brick, "the voice" of John Corey is once again stellar in his timing and diverse in delivering all the cast of characters.
