The first subject is John Corey, former NYPD detective and current contract agent for the FBI & NYPD’s joint Anti-Terrorist Task Force. The second subject is Asad Khalil (a/k/a The Lion), currently wanted internationally for multiple acts of terrorism and murder.

The Lion continues the story of John Corey, a New York City homicide police officer who is now working on the Joint Terrorism Task force and his nemesis the uber-terrorist and all out psychotic scary guy, Asad Khalil.

At the end of The Lion’s Game (sorry for the mild spoiler) John and Khalil have a standoff. They both vow to kill each other. Khalil is now back with a vengeance and he is out to kill anyone in his way. And the body count is high in this book. I even started to keep track of the carnage.

I absolutely loved John Corey. He just seems like a regular kind of guy. He likes to drink, he’s a bit of an ass, he doesn’t really like authority. John has a great sense of humor – a little wry, a little ironic. He is cynical, sarcastic, and jaded. He’s exactly who you want protecting you from the crazies of the world. His internal dialogue is priceless at times and a real tension breaker.

The author takes you inside the terrorist’s mind. Some sections of the book are told from the terrorist’s point of view. Nelson DeMille captures Khalil’s fanaticism and his disdain for the American way of life. Khalil feels repulsed when he sees a homosexual couple in the park. He is disgusted with women’s roles: working outside the home, driving, and immodest dress. Khalil cannot understand the conspicuous consumption of the American people. He compares America to the declining Roman Empire.

Khalil is portrayed as the ultimate killing machine, with no remorse, motivated by hate and his own personal jihad. Khalil is, in fact, avenging the death of his family in 1986, systematically killing anyone that had anything to do with his family’s death. He is in the United States on a mission for Al Qaeda, but he has his own personal mission to accomplish first.

I was impressed with the depiction of how the terrorist cells work, and how terrorists can travel under the radar. The amount of personnel on the ground arranging items such as weapons, cell phones, travel, and lodging was astounding. I was even more impressed with the way the way that the law enforcement agencies worked together to thwart the threat.

The Lion is an exciting and entertaining read. I really could not put the book down. If you haven’t read anything by Nelson DeMille, I recommend that you start with The Lion’s Game.

In this fifth novel with the character John Corey the author gives us more of the fun dialogue he has provided in the previous books, yet the book doesn't provide as much mystery. I got the sense DeMille did not put nearly the same effort into this book as previous ones in the series. He tries to make up for this with John struggling to face possible loss.

Nelson DeMille’s latest effort combines humor and violence (not necessarily in that order) with an examination of the clash between Middle Eastern and Western cultures to produce a novel that is both wildly entertaining and frighteningly realistic.

The Lion is the sequel to DeMille’s The Lion’s Game, published in 2000, which pitted retired NYC Detective John Corey against Libyan terrorist Asad Khalil, also known as The Lion. In this second installment, Khalil is back in the US three years after his last confrontation with Corey, seemingly emboldened by the World Trade Center attacks of September 11.

Corey worked closely with FBI Agent Kate Mayfield during the original conflict with Khalil, and something clicked: Corey and Mayfield are now happily married. DeMille uses this to ratchet up the tension further, as Khalil comes back to the U.S. to finish the job Corey and Mayfiled thwarted and adds them to his hit list. Khalil’s astonishing attack on Mayfield not only drives Corey’s actions through the rest of the novel, but it also show’s off DeMille’s skill in writing complex and breathtaking action sequences.

To heighten the contrast between the main characters’ respective cultures, DeMille moves between using the first person perspective in the Corey sections and the third person in the Khalil sections. By allowing John Corey to narrate his own sections, DeMille is easily able to show off the dry wit and internal dialogue of his mildly unreliable narrator. This unreliability usually introduces humor to the novel, in stark contrast to the graphic violence that tends to follow Khalil around.

The mood definitely changes when the author is following Asad Khalil. The third person narration allows DeMille to examine and describe Khalil clinically, giving these parts a much chillier feel than when we are listening to the detective. The descriptions of Khalil’s actions and methods are precise, brutal and devoid of humor, much like Asad Khalil himself.

The Lion takes on larger themes than just a clash between terrorists and the government. One way DeMille uses this story is to look at the endless war on terrorism. His obvious research and attention to detail give the reader an authentic feel of what it is like every day for the men and women whose task it is to keep this country safe. He is able to look at the relationship between Middle Eastern and Western cultures and how this is about more than terrorism—it is about a struggle between two value systems that have difficulty finding a middle ground. By successfully taking on this topic alone, DeMille has established himself as a master of timely, modern fiction.(less)

In a summer of great, long awaited sequels (at least 10 years from original) -- see my reviews of Linda Greenlaw's "Seaworthy" and Scott Turow's "Innocent" -- Nelson DeMille's sequel to the 2000 "The Lion's Game" (reviewed earlier this summer), is a brutal disappointment.

In fact, "The Lion" only got its second star because of a wonderfully written, over the top, original skydiving scene.

Much of what served DeMille so well in the first installment failed or was dropped in this go 'round. The 200...more

* Libyan terrorist Asad Kahil ("The Lion") previously faced off with Corey in The Lion's Game, but the stand-off ended in a stalemate. This time, only one will be left standing.

4 things I liked or disliked about the book

* I liked visiting with my favorite smart-ass cop John Corey. I've been a fan of DeMille's Corey books since I first read Plum Island, and I always look forward to the next installment. There is just something about Corey that I find incredibly amusing.

* I disliked that this book felt a bit tired. I'm not sure if it is me or DeMille, but I didn't enjoy this Corey installment as much as I did previous outings. Perhaps it was the plot, which had quite a lot of "sitting around waiting for the other guy to make a move."

* I liked the intense sky-diving scene. As I was reading, I could totally envision it happening in a movie. (And I wonder if there are any Corey movies in the works? He seems tailor-made for the silver screen.) Perhaps part of my disappointment with the book was that this scene took place near the beginning, and I felt the rest of the book never lived up to that level of excitement.

* I disliked that I found myself actually wishing for one of the major characters to die. After the set-up that DeMille gives, I felt it should have happened, and I think it was a bit of a cop-out to have the character recover so easily. Plus, it would have made for more of an emotional read, which I think the series has been lacking.

5 stars or less for my rating:

I'm giving the book 4 stars. I'm a big fan of John Corey books, and although I thought this was one of the weaker books in the series, it was still a fast, exciting read. Even when he isn't at his best, I think DeMille does thrillers better than most writers out there. For Corey fans, you'll enjoy seeing your favorite wise-ass back in action. For newbies, start with Plum Island and work your way through the books to get to know Corey better. If you enjoy fast-paced thrillers with a smart-ass edge, this book would be a fine choice.(less)

The Lion is a Libyan killer who is out to both avenge the deaths of his family (who were bombed in 1980's by US) and to show his wrath at all US and the West. John and the Lion have a history.

The earlier books of Nelson Demille were terrific: Plum Island, The Gold Coast, Night Fall, and Lion's Game were some of my favorite audio books. DeMille always has a first rate reader, and he injects laugh out loud humor into his suspense thrillers, when you least expect it.

I have seen the movie The General’s Daughter and enjoyed it; I have the novel on my- to read- list now. The beauty of the whole thing is that this is what I enjoy about the different websites we are a part of, finding new stuff to read, the discovery process.
The Lion captured me right from the get go. The banter, the edge, the machismo of John Carey blew me away. The guy is a gamer. Nelson DeMille gets major points from me for his style, prose and gift of continual action and suspense. I like the different vantage points the novel creates for us as he bounces back and forth from Carey to no one’s favorite terrorist, The Lion. The inclusion of the NYPD, FBI, CIA, and the NY State Police was great and the way he had the forces interact was interesting and for the most part, respectful of all parties. I like that. The interagency infighting was minimal; the matter at hand & the capture of the terrorist was foremost on everybody’s mind.
Nelson Demille creates a great tale of suspense, intrigue, and action in The Lion. The bad guy, Asad Khalil, is a great bad guy. Instantly able to be disliked, psychotic, zealot, totally flawed and damaged, he is the total bad guy package. Khalil makes it easy to root for John Carey and Company. This is an excellent novel for this time of year, for all the right reasons.
The Lion is great read at the beach, poolside, anywhere. Humor, compassion, honesty, patriotism, this novel just has it all. It would be remiss of me not to ask you to put this in your Goodreads –to read- list. I was a bit bent ; the Goodread meter said that this novel had 600 pages. Mine only had 433, and DeMille used every single one of them, to the last word.

The attacks of September 11 took a lot of fun out of writing trashy novels for some authors; I feel Nelson DeMille is one of them. That may sound crass, but consider that some authors have burst forth with characters operating in this new reality (Alex Berenson's novels are a wonderful example), but ones that were successful pre-9/11 seem to be out of sorts. There is still a measure of shock that runs through DeMille's novels and I'm not sure if this is intentional; a reflection of the author's...more
