Really a gut-wrencher!
One of Demille's best. Highly charged from page one until the end. Still relevant even in post Cold War era.

The Charm School
This is definately a 'don't put down until I'm finished" book! Mr. Demille has done an excellant job of creating a story that could or could not be true with Viet Nam era POWs.
It was very hard to stop reading because the plot just keeps getting more suspenseful!
I commend Mr. Demille on such a thrilling book and I really look forward to reading more of his action packed, attention ...

Grat book, couldn't put it down.
This book started off quick, and held my interest the entire time. The characters weren't as developed as in his other books, but the plot made up for it. I've recommended it to everyone.

high flying intrigue
Be ready to take off from Page one. Very possibly his best novel. the excitement never quits. Authors' very subtle insights to human foibles and treachery are amazing. They didn't miss a thing in their analysis.

Plum Island 333 reviews
Nelson DeMille
Little, Brown, 1998
Part 1 of the LION'S GAME
Unintentionally, I always seem to read novels out of their proper sequence. PLUM ISLAND lays out the character development for NIGHT FALL, WILD FIRE and THE LION'S GAME (my favorite). Unlike other authors, DeMille does a good job of composing a series of novels that can be coherently read out of sequence.
DeMille lays out the chauvinistic but likable character John Corey. In the ...

Excellent Story and Characters
In my opinion this was a very skillfully crafted story and the pages turned quickly. If you enjoy police procedurals and anything regarding the terrorist activity prior to 9/11 you will very likely enjoy this book. I found the main character's humor very entertaining and added a lot to the story. I found the premise of the plot to be very believable and that the investigation proceeded in a ...

The Gold Coast197 reviews

Grand Central Publishing, 1997
Worth your gold!
Nelson DeMille's The Gold Coast is my favorite DeMille book. John Sutter is a local lawyer with a somewhat kooky wife from old money. In walks a mobster who buys the mansion next door even as Sutter's wife's family can't afford the upkeep on their old pile of stone.
The narrative pits Sutter more against himself than the mobster as the two spar over odd issues as well as Sutter's wife. But ...

Up Country is Nelson Demille's suspense thriller set in post-Vietnam. Full of exciting escapes and tense drama, Demille takes the reader on a dangerous adventure through a country teaming with ghosts from previous wars. Superbly researched. Brilliantly paced. A must read for DeMille fans.

New to DeMille
An excellent read, you're a couple hundred pages in and fascinated but still not sure whether you like the protagonist or not, much less where justice could be found. I've read 30+ authors (hundreds of books Clancy and Brown to Griffith and Brown to Rankin and White to Connelly and Ludlum, to McCarry and McKinty and Pelecanos....), most of them their entire work, and never read DeMille. It is ...

Nelson DeMille: Three Complete Novels: Word of Honor, Cathedral, By the Rivers of Babylon 1 review
Nelson Demille
Wings, 1992
Nelson DeMille is one of the very best
I read all three of these novels, for the first time, quite a while ago. The plots were so well planned and his ability to convey actions, thoughts, etc., etc. is outstanding. He is one of those authors that REALLY can make you 'live' the story. He has 'depth' in his writing. I believe these 'older' novels are three of his very best. I have read these novels twice and plan to read them again ...

Another page-turner
Nelson DeMille is becoming one of my favorite authors and I've only read two of his books (The Lion's Game and Plum Island). Detective John Corey returns with another case, this one involving many federal agencies and concerned with the transport of a Middle Eastern man with suspected connections to terrorism. Reading dialogue that describes people wishing for the destruction of the World Trade ...

Cathedral56 reviews
Nelson DeMille
Grand Central Publishing, 1990
That's some mess you left in the Cathedral.
Nelson DeMille consistantly takes all the right turns when it comes to ending his and this exciting thriller. It's as though we come to know the characters in a real sense. Oddly enough, Cathedral is very believable. Having read almost every book Mr. DeMille has written, I can only hope he continues to write these great novels. Cathedral is an all around hit.

Page-turning Mystery
Paul Brenner and Cynthia Sunhill investigate the murder and possible rape of a female Army captain, who also happens to be the daughter of the base's general. The mystery is like an onion and every time they peel away one layer, a new layer of possibilities and questions presents itself. The case is a political bombshell and they know that time is running out to solve it before the FBI takes ...

Solid Early Work
If you are a fan of military fiction this is the book for you. I could not tell that Demille was an early author in this book at all. I learned a great deal about Israel that I didn't know in this novel. This was not my favorite Demille book, but it is solid as usual.

Flag: An American Biography9 reviews
Marc Leepson, Nelson DeMille (Foreword)
Thomas Dunne Books, 2005
"Flag" - a review
"Flag" is the kind of book serious students of American history will love. Marc Leepson has written an account of our nation's most enduring symbol that includes all the scholarly elements but still brings a popular history to those of us that wouldn't know a monograph from a monorail. The book begins with the initial uses of flags in our nation's history through the controversey surrounding its ...
