The Lion

In this sequel to The Lion's Game - The Lion, written by Nelson DeMille, has former NYPD homicide detective John Corey of the Anti-Terrorist Task Force being pursued by the wanted Libyan terrorist "The Lion."

As part of the John Corey series, this is a serious thriller, with typical witty asides from John Corey. There are several times I wonder how Corey's FBI Special Agent wife Kate puts up with him. Since terrorist Asad Khalil "The Lion" had escaped without a trace in a previous book, The Lion's Game, Khalil returns several years later to take care of unfinished business - get revenge on Corey and Kate for their interference in his last terrorist killing spree.

Leaving behind a series of bodies, both of civilian and Agents bodies in both Khalil's mission and in Khalil's revenge, Cory is determined to get Khalil - especially as Khalil has made his revenge personal.

It is interesting to see the contrast of the difference between Khalil's Libyan culture background and our American culture background. While you understand Khalil's motivation, even Khalil is extreme as far as his people is concerned.
