Publisher Description
Detective John Corey, last seen in Plum Island, now faces his toughest assignment yet: the pursuit and capture of the world's most dangerous terrorist -- a young Arab known as "The Lion" who has baffled a federal task force and shows no sign of stopping in his quest for revenge against the American pilots who bombed Libya and killed his family. Filled with unrelenting suspense and surprising plot twists at every terrifying turn, The Lion's Game is a heartstopping race against time and one of Nelson DeMille's most riveting thrillers.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
John Corey, former NYPD Homicide detective and star of DeMille's Plum Island, is back in this breezily narrated high-octane thriller about the hunt for a Libyan terrorist who has set his sights on some very specific targets--the Americans who bombed Libya on April 15, 1986. The novel begins with a tense airport scene--a transcontinental flight from Paris is flying into New York, and no one has been able to contact the pilot via radio. On the flight is Asad Khalil, a Libyan defector who will be met by Special Contract

The Lion's Game
Very entertaining !
What a disappointment
After Plum Island I had great expectations for the Lion. What a disappointment. Cardboard characters, a cliched Arab terrorist whose inner dialogue sounded like it was drafted by a 16 year old. Boring riffs on what the Lion was thinking and doing. A smarmy relationship between the hero and his female sidekick . And worse, the story finished right when I thought it might get interesting. Guess what? The hero marries his FBI sidekick and lives happily ever after and the bad guy gets away. Total Rubbish.
The lions Game. Nelson DeMille
The Lions game is about revenge. Pure and simple.A bombing attack in Libya which resulted in the death of a mother and daughters and sons. Payback is coming. An excellent read!!! My highest recommendation!!
