As usual, Nelson DeMille combines a great story with his famous humor.  I have read all his books, and look forward to each new one.  This keeps one's interest as it pertains to today's Middle East terrorist problems.

Excellent audio.  Great narration and a great character.  Sean Drummond is one of my favorite characters.  Very like John Corey for those of you who like Nelson DeMille.  You will love this one.

Another great offering from Nelson DeMille.  He is one of the best writers in the US today.  I have read at least a dozen of his works and each one is better than the last.  You will not be disappointed by The Cuban Affair.  Very nice insight into Cuba today.

WE have read all of DeMille and If you like his books you will love this one, its one of his best.  The action starts on page one and doesn't stop until the last page, which means you can't put it down until you're done.  Wiseass Corey is back as feisty as ever and we love him. Suzanne

John Corey is a rock star.  Kate is a great balance and the story is awesome. I hope Nelson DeMille adds to the story line.

You have not read the series of John Corey books by this same author. Up Country is well written, with engaging characters, love it.

DeMille's sense of humor shines in this page turner. The narrator is so funny, sarcastic and well developed you will find yourself laughing out loud. Terrific suspense novel with lots of chuckles-hard to find in suspense novels. Highly recommended if you can afford hard to put down reading in your schedule.

I am a huge fan of DeMille and, of course, John Corey. This is probably my favorite of the Corey series. Humor, suspense, government conspiracies...what's not to love?

Excellent work by DeMille. I read it over a weekend, and could not put it down. I would like to see a follow-up with these characters.

This my first Nelson DeMille book and I intend to read the rest of his novels. The characters are well developed. The primary character, John Corey is his best character. He is arrogant. He is funny with his sarcasm but very likeable. The other characters, including the minor ones, are defined enough to feel like you know them.

First of all, the setting of this book is an area I am familiar with since I have friends there. DeMille describes a very charming section of east Long Island. As readers, we receive an interesting, accurate portrayal of the quaint beach villages, the local flavor, and the snooty wine growers. DeMille also gives the reader a dose of the history of the area describing the early times when pirates landed on its shores. The storyline, which deals with the murder of two employees of Plum Island, where work is done with hazardous biological materials, including anthrax, under the US Department of Agriculture.

I only fault I found was with DeMille's decision to let Corey figure out who the criminal was midway through the book and then spending the rest of the book showing how he gets this person. It would have been nice if he threw in a plot twist to shake things up and add some suspense, but it's a good book. That is why I only gave it four stars but it is definitely worth reading.

I really like Nelson Demille, especially his detective John Corey.  I wish this was a full novel instead of a short story, thus my 4 star rating.  Good read just the same.
