Publisher Description
It's one of the most dangerous and volatile countries in the world: Yemen. A Middle Eastern hotbed of corruption and insurgency and the perfect training ground for Islamic terrorists.
When FBI agents John Corey and Kate Mayfield are assigned to overseas posts in Sana'a, Yemen's capital city, they are tasked with hunting down the high-ranking Al Qaeda operative responsible for the USS Cole bombing. This man, known as The Panther, is wanted for terrorist acts and multiple murders and the US government is determined to bring him down, no matter the cost.
As latecomers to a deadly game, John and Kate don't know the rules, the players or the score. What they do know is that there is more to their assignment than meets the eye - and that the hunters are about to become the hunted.
In an action-packed and terrifying race to take down one of the most ruthless men alive, Nelson DeMille reunites readers with his charismatic hero John Corey.

Simply brilliant
Like The Lion & the Charm School, I found myself totally engrossed and always trying to work out what the twist would be. I won't say any more other than, "it's a great read and a brilliant story". Did you really expect anything else from Nelson???
Very dissapointed
Where do I start, why wasn't his book written.. I love the two main characters.. Also the previous books that they have appeared in..
This one was poor, the plot was poor, the villains were poor, and poor John and Kate were POOR..
The story had no substance and I literally missed pages and did not lose the tread... Far too long saying the same thing..
I rate this as ONE STAR
