Night Fall: Booktrack Edition

De: Nelson DeMille

Narrado por: Scott Brick

New York Times bestselling author Nelson DeMille does it again with Elite Anti-terrorist Task Force Agents John Corey and Kate Mayfield discovering corruption deep in the FBI and they set out to find the truth.

On a Long Island beach at dusk, Bob Mitchell and JanetWhitney conduct their illicit love affair in front of a video camera, set to record each steamy moment. Suddenly a terrible explosion lights up the sky. Grabbing the camera, the couple flees as approaching police cars speed toward the scene. Five years later, the crash of Flight 800 has been attributed to a mechanical mal-function.

But for John Corey and Kate Mayfield, both members of the Elite Anti-terrorist Task Force, the case is not closed. Suspecting a cover-up at the highest levels and disobeying orders, they set out to find the one piece of evidence that will prove the truth about what really happened to Flight 800-the videotape that shows a couple making love on the beach and the last moments of the doomed airliner.

This is a treat for deMille fans

I couldn't stop until the last word...and now I want still more. I delight in John Corey's sardonic wit and his ability to put the pieces together, even when no one seems to want them put together. This book is a slight departure from the earlier deMille novels in that it is based on a true recent mystery (TWA Flt. 800) and introduces a more logical solution than "official" explanation of mechanical failure...especially in hindsight, considering the events of the past three years.

I've only recently discovered deMille's novels, but already I'm a fan for life.

Outstanding

LOVE this author and narrator...give me more. I have to say my favorite combination. Anything by these two I will buy. Did not want this book to end.

good fictional story cloaked in real event

DeMille has taken the flight of TWA 800 and said "what if..." A plausible scenario that keeps you hooked. Not as much action as some of his other novels but keeps you interested and leaves you wanting more.

Excellent John Cory book

I could listen to the narrator, Scott Black for hours. Great voice- handles the fights and the dry humor so well. The storyline is mysterious and captivating. Main guest character a little hard to read. Keeps you hopping!

Demille does it again

Would you listen to Night Fall again? Why?

The story is intense, and I adore detective john corey!

What does Scott Brick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His narration is mesmerizing! I love his voice characterizations, and I feel like I can see the characters

Another suspense thriller for DeMille

DeMille did it again. He had me hanging until the very end . Anothet great narration by Scott Brick, I'd swear I was in New York.

Starts with a bang and ends with a wimper

I enjoy Nelson DeMille's books immensely, especially when read by Scott Brick. The first DeMille book I listened to was "Mayday" (co-authored with Thomas Block). In DeMille's books the characters are believable, the dialog engaging and entertaining and the plots current and fast-paced. I especially liked John Corey's (spelling?) character. When Corey is brought to life by Scott Brick the outcome is magical.

As for Night Fall I was drawn into the story from page one and literally could not stop listening. TWA Flight 800 is a mystery that remains unsolved and was a can't miss topic for a engaging story. As the story progresses and Corey delves deeper into the mystery we are drawn back to the events around Flight 800 and DeMille does a masterful job of cranking the suspense and keeping us on the edge of our seat as it looks like he will reveal not only who was behind the crash but also possibly why they caused the tragedy.

The ending is critical to this novel so I will not say much other than I was hugely disappointed by how DeMille chose to close this story. At the end I felt cheated. Having said that; however, the rest of the novel is so good that I recommend this title, especially if you are a fan of DeMille's character John Corey.

very good, with minor flaws

What did you love best about Night Fall?

The story brings some history back to life and is told well, with a couple of flaws.

Would you be willing to try another book from Nelson DeMille? Why or why not?

I'm going through the whole John Corey series, so yes :)

Have you listened to any of Scott Brick’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

yes, typically excellent.

Any additional comments?

I didn't much care for the odd anti-climactic time jump about Yemen and the ending.

A Great Read

I have been a big fan of DeMille and I think that this is his best both in terms of the subject matter and the character development. Entertaining and provacative. Highly recommended--I couldn't recharge my iPod fast enough

A Good Listen

Kept my interest throughout. The narrator did an excellent job of bringing the characters to life. I came to enjoy the main character's sense of humor.
