Book Reviews of Wild Fire (John Corey, Bk 4)

A secret club in the Adirondack Mountains holds an executive board meeting to discuss a possible retaliation plan for 9/11. The same weekend, a federal agent who was sent to survey the lodge and its powerful guests is found dead in the nearby woods. Detective John Corey and FBI Agent Kate Mayfield are sent to investigate the case, and in doing so discover a terrifying plot that begins at the secret Custer Hill Club and ends with two major American cities in the crosshairs of a nuclear device. Can Corey and Mayfield stop the detonation before it is too late?


This was the first Nelsom DeMille book I have read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The suspense throughout the book was amazing and I loved how he really grasped the different characters' personalities. It is a fiction book, however it deals with events and political people post 9/11, and the scary part is that once the plot from the Custer Hill Club is revealed, I could actually see our government participating in a similar plot. Definiately worth reading...

Not quite as good as his last novel (Night Fall), Wild Fire is still a thrilling page-turner with protagonist John Corey trying to prevent nuclear Armageddon.

Excellent thriller! Intelligently written, with a racing-against-the-clock plot, terrific characters, lots of twists and turns -- highly recommended!

good book. John Corey is his usual, sarcastic, self.

Sequel to Night Fall

"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."

The writing was good, the continuing characters were good, but the plot was implausible.

I couldn't put this book down. Read into the night. From Nelson DeMille:"This work of fiction is based on a rumor, repeated on the Internet, about a government plan very much like the one I call Wild Fire. Hopefully, the story I'm about to tell will play out only in these pages...."

Great read! Fast paced,gives you somthing to think about!

John Corey is a good character and this is another good book in the series.

Nelson De Mille books are always a good read. This one is no exception.

Very good--couple of good chuckles and one major burst of laughter!! Kept my attention!

Propably not his best effort, characters and plots slightly less well developed in some of his other efforts, but still a good read, filled with the usual suspects, action, and laugh out loud ironic humor from our hero, John Corey, the rogue NYPD detective assigned to a federal task force. A fun read.

Not De Mille's best work. Corey's obnoxiousness is getting old and De Mille seems to be getting a bit paranoid.

Nelson DeMille at his suspenseful best

John Corey, member of Federal Anti-Terrorist Task Force and his wife, FBI Agent Kate Mayfield, must unravel a terrifying plot that starts with the Custr Hill Club.

Fast paced and excellent read.

Welcome to the uster lub a mens club set in Adirondack hunting lodge whose members include some of Americas most powerful business leaders, military men and government officials. THe club is a place to relax with old friends. But one fall weekend, the clubms Board gathers to talk about the tragedy of 9/11 and finalize a retaliation plan, known only by it code name WILD FIRE.

"This work of fiction is based on a rumor, repeated on the Internet, about a government plan very much like th the one I call Wild Fire. Hopefully, the story I'm about to tell will play out only in these pages..." Nelson DeMille. Captivating and all too possible.

John Corey, the ex-NYPD detective who now works on a government anti-terrorism task force, returns in this exciting and uncomfortably realistic thriller. Bain Madox, a brilliant and probably insane villain, has hatched a fiendishly clever plot to force the U.S. to launch an all-out nuclear attack against the entire Islamic world. It's up to Corey, with the help of his FBI agent wife, to stop Madox before he can detonate nuclear weapons on American soil. Set in 2002, barely a year after 9/11, the novel presents a what-if scenario that's so plausible we have to remind ourselves that DeMille is making the whole thing up. Or is he? As usual, DeMille appears to have done a ton of research; what sets his thrillers apart from those of some of his competitors is the way he seamlessly incorporates real technology and real government organizations into his stories. It really is tough to tell what parts of his novels are real and what are the products of his imagination. And although Operation Wild Fire, the American nuclear retaliatory strategy that Madox hopes to jump-start, is fictional, DeMille makes us believe that something very like it could and possibly does exist.

I read this book in just a few days. At first it started out a little slow but within a few small chapters the action had picked up and you knew you were in for a ride. From then till the end of the book, I couldn't stop reading it.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. It is suspenseful and yet right up front with the facts. You are left wondering how this will end.

The John Corey series is suspensful and entertaining - can't put them down.

I love this novel, I was laughing out loud at John Corey. This is the best one yet
