April 1986 : American F-111 warplanes bomb the Al Azziyah compound in Libya where President Gadhafi is residing. A 16-year-old youth, Asad - Arabic for 'lion ' - loses his mother, two brothers and two sisters in the raid. Asad sees himself as chosen to avenge not only his family but his nation, his religion and the Great Leader - Gadhafi. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Twelve years later, Asad arrives in New York City, intent on killing all five surviving pilots across America who participated in the bombing, one by one. John Corey - from the international bestseller PLUM ISLAND - is no longer with the NYPD and is working for the Anti-Terrorist Task Force. He has to stop Asad's revenge killings. But first he has to find him. A thrillingly entertaining read from a master storyteller.

The LIon stalks his victims,
This review is from: Lions Game (Paperback)
The Lion's Game by Nelson Demille is a thoroughly enjoyable read. It's a case of the Ram (a lamb with horns) hunting the Lion who is more elusive than you might have conjectured and thoroughly cold blooded driven by revenge. The Lion is a terrorist avenging the death of his family which occured in a US Bombing raid over Lybia. The ram with horns is played by a retired NYC Cop with a sense of humor and an inquiring mind. Do yourself a favor and read this suspensful book.
