THE LION
BY NELSON DeMILLE
In this eagerly awaited follow-up to The Lion's Game, John Corey, former NYPD Homicide detective and special agent for the Anti-Terrorist Task Force, is back. And, unfortunately for Corey, so is Asad Khalil, the notorious Libyan terrorist otherwise known as "The Lion." Last we heard from him, Khali had claimed to be defecting to the US only to unleash the most horrific reign of terrorism ever to occur on American soil. While Corey and his partner, FBI agent Kate Mayfield, chased him across the country, Khalil methodically eliminated his victims one by one and then disappeared without a trace.
Now, years later, Khalil has returned to America to make good on his threats and take care of unfinished business. "The Lion" is a killing machine once again loose in America with a mission of revenge, and John Corey will stop at nothing to achieve his own goal -- to find and kill Khahil.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Nelson Richard DeMille was born in New York City on August 23, 1943 to Huron and Antonia (Panzera) DeMille. He moved as a child with his family to Long Island. In high school, he played football and ran track.
DeMille spent three years at Hofstra University, then joined the Army and attended Officer Candidate School. He was a First Lieutenant in the United States Army (1966-69) and saw action as an infantry platoon leader with the First Cavalry Division in Vietnam. He was decorated with the Air Medal, Bronze Star, and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry.
DeMille returned to the States and went back to Hofstra University where he received his degree in Political Science and History. He has three children, Lauren, Alexander, and James, and still lives on Long Island.
DeMille's earlier books were NYPD detective novels. His first major novel was By the Rivers of Babylon, published in 1978 and still in print, as are all his succeeding novels. He is a member of The Authors Guild, the Mystery Writers of America, and American Mensa. He holds three honorary doctorates: Doctor of Humane Letters from Hofstra University, Doctor of Literature from Long Island University, and Doctor of Humane Letters from Dowling College.
Nelson DeMille is the author of By the Rivers of Babylon, Cathedral, The Talbot Odyssey, Word of Honor, The Charm School, The Gold Coast, The General's Daughter, Spencerville, Plum Island, The Lion's Game, Up Country, Night Fall, and Wild Fire. He also co-authored Mayday with Thomas Block and has contributed short stories, book reviews, and articles to magazines and newspapers. His newest book, THE GATE HOUSE, is the much-awaited follow-up to his beloved novel The Gold Coast and will be released in October 2008.

This book sounds timely and would be riveting reading. Thanks. saubleb(at)gmail(dot)com
As I mentioned, I haven't read any DeMille yet, but maybe should begin with the Lion's Game.

I really like suspense type books and I haven't read any of his before, sounds really good.
JHolden955(at)gmail(dot)com
I found out we were born the same yr. lol
The fact that he interrupted his education to join the service then once out of service he went back and completed his education. I think that was really awesome.

And I bet you are a MENSA as well, Glenn. Am I right? I am as well and didn't even pick up on it!
I have read many of Nelson DeMille's books and have enjoyed most of them. I was unaware of the honorary doctorates he holds and of the medals he was awarded while in the Army. He is a very accomplished man. And, having grown up on Long Island on the north shore, I have always loved the Mr. DeMille lives on Long Island!
Thank you for this terrific giveaway!

I haven't read Nelson DeMille's very early works such as Rivers of Babylon and Mayday and would like to read them. When an author has such an extensive collection of books he's written, I always enjoy reading the early ones to see how the author's writing has changed nd progressed.

DeMille's Plum Island is one of my favorite books—I recommend it to everyone.

I love any Nelson Demille books. In fact, my first Demille book was Plum Island which introduced me the John Corey we have come to know and love!
I find it interesting that The Lion has returned after all these years and hope to find out why it's taking him so long to return and what his plans are.
I found it interesting that Nelson was a First Lieutenant in the United States Army

The lion roaring on the cover looks dramatic and there are Special Agents roaming around in the book. It makes me want to flip through the pages.
methodically eliminated his victims one by one and then disappeared without a trace. Wow that sounds so good!

The only Nelson DeMille book I have read so far is The General's Daughter. I have Plum Island on my bookshelf and would like to read all of his books.

I like how Nelson DeMille set's a lot of his books on Long Island - both my husband and I grew up there and I love reading about places that are familiar.

I have a Criminal Justice B.S. which makes this book really interesting to me - going after a criminal and investigating.

I read The Gatehouse a couple of months ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am a huge fan of cop and FBI books and the idea of them chasing after a terrorist sounds like a good read.
polo-puppy-fluffy[at]hotmail[dot]com
Besides The Gatehouse, I've also read The General's Daughter which was a good read. I would recommend it. I believe there was a movie done on it with John Travolta.

I have read a few of his books and I really enjoyed The Gate House.cardshark42(at)hotmail(dot)com

I have read The Gold Coast, Cathedral (my first), The Charm School (gave me shivers), The General's Daughter (the book was so much different, and better!) than the movie, Plum Island, and The Lion's Game. I loved all of 'em, for different reasons. DeMille is one heck of an author! Thanks!
trippwojohn(at)gmail(dot)com
I have not read a bood from this author but have a few of his books on my list. Beside the current one The Lion I will be reading Gate House also. I find very interesting that Nelson DeMille is from Long Island as my husband and got into track as he did. Thank you for the chance to win.

The character of John Corey sounds amazing - I'm definitely picking up The Lion's Game.
I just re-read The Lion's Game in anticipation for The Lion. All of Nelson DeMille's books are fantastic, and I am eager to get my hands on a copy of The Lion.
