Book Reviews of Wild Fire
Book Review: Nelson and Det. John Carey do it again.
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot immagine any male reading this book could have a negative comment. I am an admitted Fan of most of Mr. DeMille's writing. My one exception is Gold Coast which I have read twice and still do not really understand. As opposed to "Up Country" where the author takes us back to Viet Nam through the guise of a fairly good plot with interesting characters, while in reality he has taken us "Up Country" to where he himself fought as a soldier in the Viet Nam War.That one I understood and loved every page of it.
If you are reading this review to determine whether or not you should purchase this book?; then stop-don't buy this book-not yet.
Go to the list and purchase "Plum Island". That is where you will be introduced to Detective John Carey and I guaranty you will be hooked by this guy who acts and behaves like we all wish we could.
He disdains the political correctness that has permeated all facets of our lives and likes to take that little step outside the bounds while pursuing his quary in unorthodox ways that drive his superiors crazy and other organizations mad with envy.
Open a book and settle in for a rollicking ride with a well developed charater with whom we all wish we could identify or emulate.Then you will be back here to get the next volume or order them all so as to ensure a continous adventure with one of the best fictional charaters around. Why John Carey has not been made into a Hollywood hero I don'y know. Or is it that Hollywood has become so ardently politically correct that they can't find anyone to play the character. Doubt that though, Bruce Willis is stil working isn't he?
Summary of Wild Fire
Welcome to the Custer Hill Club - a men's club set in an Adirondack hunting lodge whose members include some of America's most powerful business leaders, military men, and government officials. Ostensibly, the club is a place to relax with old friends. But one fall weekend, the club's Executive Board gathers to talk about 9/11 - and finalize a retaliation plan, known only by its code name: WILD FIRE. That same weekend, a member of the Federal Anti-Terrorist Task Force is found dead. Soon it's up to Detective John Corey and his wife, FBI Agent Kate Mayfield, to unravel a plot that starts with the Custer Hill Club and ends with American cities locked in the crosshairs of a nuclear device. Only Corey and Mayfield can stop the button from being pushed, and global chaos from being unleashed... More chilling than yesterday's headlines and as prophetic as tomorrow's, Wild Fire will challenge you to question everything you thought you knew about your leaders and your country while thrilling you with suspense that builds with every page.Literature & Fiction Books
