| Product Details |
| To survive in a game with no rules at all, John Corey must invent a strategy that includes no luck at all. The hero of DeMille's No. 1 <I>New York Times</I> best seller, <I>Plum Island</I>, Corey has been through a lot, not the least of which was surviving three bullet wounds while serving on the NYPD. Now he signs on with the government's Anti-Terrorist Task Force in an attempt to stop an alleged Libyan terrorist known simply as "The Lion." The Lion has the instincts of a wild animal, the bloodlust of a carnivore, and the boldness and speed of a cat of prey. And now he's loose in America. Can John Corey stop him? Or has his allotment of luck just run out? Nelson DeMille spins an epic tale of heart-pounding suspense. |

Chicago Tribune Books: "DeMille has only grown stronger and more confident over the years, and while THE LION'S GAME arrives at nearly 700 pages, he keeps the plot twists coming at a lightning pace.", Entertainment Weekly: "DeMille sweeps you along with his masterful crosscutting between the good guys and the bad, slaying both the extremist Middle Eastern mindset and our own lowbrow American culture, and stumbles only with a disappointingly prosaic finale.", Kirkus: "The biggest scaled yet of DeMille's best-selling crime thrillers.", New York Times Book Review: "DeMille has clearly studied his market. But predictability, in this case, isn't a matter for criticism. The thriller form is as technically demanding as a sonnet, and DeMille works with enormous intelligence, pacing his two narrative strands....THE LION'S GAME carries us along with a professionalism many writers, highbrow and low, should admire." |
