"The Lion" will be landing. And at New York's JFK Airport, an elite American task force waits as the notorious Libyan terrorist prepares to defect to the West. Then, aboard Flight 175, something goes eerily, horribly wrong - a mere prelude to the terror that is to come. Ex-NYPD cop, now Task Force contract agent John Corey - together with his formidable and beautiful new partner, Kate Mayfield - will follow a trail of smoke and blood across the country. His quarry: a foe with the cunning of a lion and all the bloodlust of a man. To win a desperate game with no rules at all, Corey must invent a strategy that leaves room for no luck at all.
"GO OUT AND GET A COPY OF THE LION'S GAME. . .With THE LION'S GAME, DeMille adds another notch to his literate gunslinger reputation. . . .There are enough plot twists to keep you reading, and the chapters told from Khalil's point of view are captivating. Bottom line: You won't be able to put down this fast-paced thriller."
-Denver Post


"HIS BEST THRILLER YET. . .THE ACTION UNFOLDS AT AN ADRENALINE-DRAINING PACE. . . [the] true master of testosterone thrillers."
-New York Post


"THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE. . .a first-person protagonist whose laugh-out-loud witticisms blend handily with the violence at hand. . .Corey as a character is simply irresistible."
-Dallas Morning News
