Honestly, I am a bit disappointed. The political thriller aspect of a nuclear submarine heading towards Manhattan was believable, however why did John Corey suddenly stop loving his wife? Did the author just get tired with her? There is nothing in the plot line to suggest this sudden change. I will continue reading if there is another book, but this one wasn't the best in the series.

This was my first John Corey book and it's a fun mix of Stephanie Plum and Gabriel Allon. Headed back to listen to the first 6 now.

John Corey is no longer part of the Anti-Terrorist Task Force (ATTF), Mideastern section, and Kate Mayfield has been promoted to Supervisory Special Agent so Mr. and Mrs. Corey are no longer on the same team professionally. Does this spell the end for Mr. and Mrs.?
RADIANT ANGEL is the shortest book in the series and is somewhat reminiscent of WILD FIRE, yet it stands well on its own and is no less a nail biter. Corey's new job is with the Diplomatic Surveillance Group. He is out from under the eye of the FBI as well as out of the office. Along with his trainee partner, Tess Faraday who drinks a lot of coffee and spends too much time in the ladies' room, he is surveilling the Russian Federation Mission to the United Nations when things start looking up… at least that’s how John Corey sees it. He's a maverick who goes with his gut and shoots from the hip. You either love him or hate him. There is no in between.
In some respects, RADIANT ANGEL seems to indicate that John Corey's employment in law enforcement, his service to city, state, and country, will come to an end. Where does an adrenalin junkie go after dealing with murderers and terrorists. We won't find out until the release of book eight, THE MAZE, in October 2022.

I love this author and most of his books are great. This book was decent and exciting, but it felt like it was lacking something and I'm not sure what.

If you like page-turners, the last 60 pages of this will scratch that itch; I promise.
John Corey is my favorite fictional smartass and he's at the epicenter of yet another life/death/potential mass casualty scenario. What a life. You'd think he'd be happier. But if he was happy, we'd all be sad because we'd miss out on his cynical but hilariously miserable storytelling.
Thanks, Mr DeMille, for a fun read.

Another great book by Nelson DeMille. I enjoyed how he compared fighting terrorist to shopping with women. I look forward to his next book.
