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.

I have read or listen to all of the John Cory series except Plum Island which I can't find on audio. DeMille is a great writer and I would love for him to keep the series going. Also the character from The Generals Daughter would be great to revive.
I really enjoy the interview by Scott Brick of Nelson DeMille at the end of the tape.
Thanks Audible for getting this out to us and for Scott Brick who has become such a favorite of mine that I have a hard time listening to anyone else narrating a book on tape.

What surprised me most was Scott Brick's narration. I usually like him and have gotten books simply because he's the narrator. However in this case he sounds almost bored and a little to melodramatic. So I suggest that you better be as much of a Scott Brick fan as a DeMille fan to really enjoy this.
You better really like the narrator

Another challenge is building on the previous plot without repeating it. this was a complete repeat.
Cory was most interesting in contrast to the feds and especially Kate. Almost none of that here. It was an NYPD show without the interesting aspects of the NYPD. NYPD just serve as the 'establishment' who demonstrates that their plodding methods aren't effective against 'this' kind of bad guy and provide an authority for Cory to disrepsect.
The killing-machine villian who was so frightening because of his elaborate, surpising methods and his speed has developed an appetite for prolonged hand-to-hand combat. The swift, clever Kalil reduces the ranks of Lybian cab drivers and disaffected Serbians, contibutes nothing at all to the doomsday sub-plot and then devolves into Dolf Lundgren in the final showdown. Only knowing about explosives and such from book and movies, I was never really convinced that a conventional bomb set off in the middle of an enourmous crater was going to harm anything other than dump trucks.
Big Let-Down

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. Great story and great characters. The main character was a smart *** but likable.What other book might you compare The Lion to and why?
I am a huge fan of Vince Flynn and his character Mitch Rapp. Although Flynn's books are more in-depth, this book was great.What does Scott Brick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The narrator does an incredible job bringing the hero and villian to life.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Laugh. The main character is a smart a**.Any additional comments?
I look forward to more books by both this author and narrator.Exceeded my expectations
