About this listen

Captain Ann Campbell is a West Point graduate, the daughter of legendary General "Fighting Joe" Campbell. She is the pride of Fort Hadley until, one morning, her body is found, naked and bound, on the firing range.

Paul Brenner is a member of the Army's elite undercover investigative unit and the man in charge of this politically explosive case. Teamed with rape specialist Cynthia Sunhill, with whom he once had a tempestuous, doomed affair, Brenner is about to learn just how many people were sexually, emotionally, and dangerously involved with the Army's "golden girl". And how the neatly pressed uniforms and honor codes of the military hide a corruption as rank as Ann Campbell's shocking secret life.©1999 Nelson DeMille (P)2009 Hachette
Crime Thrillers Genre Fiction Military Mystery Suspense Thriller & Suspense War & Military

Critic reviews

"Long before the John Travolta film of The General's Daughter...Nelson DeMille's seventh mystery was the breakout hit of his career. The rapid-fire dialogue and scenes are cinematic, and the storytelling puts most movies to shame....This is one racy read, and it crackles with authenticity. DeMille is a Vietnam veteran who does for military justice what John Grisham does for civilians." (Amazon.com review)

A lot better than the movie

As Mr. DeMille said in the forward about the movie and being sceptical of John Travolta as Paul Brenner. I like John Travolta but Paul Brenner in the book is not John Travolta. (does that make sense?) Needless to say the book is a great listen and I recommend it.

Terrific author

I've read or listened to nearly all of his books, but womehow missed this one, probably because it was 30+ years old and I'd seen the move not long after the book was originally published. My misfortune to haave missed it years ago, but my very good fortune to have discovered it recently. What a terrific novel! Classic DeMille at his prime.

Nelson never disappoints!

Great read with plenty of action and suspence with humor and attitude thrown into the mix. His books are solid reads and will keep you entertained the whole time. Deep characters with insight and flaws that you can't help but get attached to and believe.

Haunting story

It took me a long time to get to reading/listening this book, which is suprising since I admire Mr. DeMille very much. Some of the details are difficult to experience and I think it was this gifted author's intention. If you enjoy well written, intelligent books, with well-defined characters and a story that has something to say, then you'll love this book as I did. Also: Mr. Brick gives another outstanding performance!

I had no idea what this story was about when I started. Wow, what a surprise. It definitely kept me interested and the list of suspects made it impossible to get ahead of the story.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The General's Daughter?

I did not have an aha! moment.

Have you listened to any of Scott Brick’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Well developed story and characters. I particularly liked the author’s introduction to the book. It was helpful.

DeMille is number one

Would you consider the audio edition of The General's Daughter to be better than the print version?

Scott Brick is an absolutely awesome reader. I can't imagine anyone doing DeMille better than him.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I get so hooked on DeMille stories that I find time to be alone just to listen.

Any additional comments?

Great stories, good humor, fantastic entertainment.
