Rendezvous

By: Nelson DeMille

Narrated by: Scott Brick

In this tense, riveting mind game, New York Times bestselling novelist Nelson DeMille delivers a suspenseful short story in the tradition of his classic military novels The General's Daughter and Word of Honor. A band of soldiers in its last month of service in Vietnam goes out on a patrol through enemy territory with a female sniper in its path. Recounting the mission in shattering and sometimes gruesome detail, DeMille creates a concise masterpiece of moody suspense.

Demille served as a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army and saw combat in Vietnam as an infantry platoon leader, earning a Bronze Star. He states that Rendezvous features a fictionalized version of himself from that experience.

Very good short story. Little overpriced ...

If you could sum up Rendezvous in three words, what would they be?

fast paced, unexpected, compelling

What did you like best about this story?

I didn't know what to expect and I wasn't disappointed so to speak. Like "Up Country" and "Word of Honor" it is about deMille's time in Vietnam. American Platoon vs. Vietnamese sniper. But I don't want to give anything away here. The story is short enough to ruin it for everyone reading here if I say too much.

Which scene was your favorite?

Hard to say really. Same as above. Don't want to call a spoiler alert.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No problem here, since it's only a short story :-)

Great story! Short but interesting

Great listen, story and narration were very very good… nice short but very entertaining audiobook! Demille is a master story teller!

True to DeMille

Well told sad Vietnam war story with good narration.
I highly recommend as with all of his books.

Great 1 hour short story...

...about a female Vietnamese sniper taking on a group of 12 US Army soldiers. The story is first person told by the US lieutenant that led the group. The story is set in Vietnam during the US war there. The suspense is intense, but as good as it is the short story is simply not worth the cost.

A DeMille Classic

I’m a VN veteran from 67 and 68 and although never a LRRP member listening gave me chills and memories of those that didn’t make it back. That’s something I should think about more often. This woke me up to that fact and I will think of those left behind more often. Also thanks for always using Scott Brick as your narrator. I have listened to all your books more than once and he is your voice to me. I listened to your latest release and hope there is another soon as I’m not getting any younger.
