About this listen

It's one of the most dangerous and volatile countries in the world: Yemen. A Middle Eastern hotbed of corruption and insurgency and the perfect training ground for Islamic terrorists. When FBI agents John Corey and Kate Mayfield are assigned to overseas posts in Sana'a, Yemen's capital city, they are tasked with hunting down a high-ranking Al Qaeda operative. This man, known as The Panther, is wanted for terrorist acts and multiple murders and the US government is determined to bring him down, no matter the cost. As latecomers to a deadly game, John and Kate don't know the rules, the players or the score. What they do know is that there is more to their assignment than meets the eye - and that the hunters are about to become the hunted. In an action-packed and terrifying race to take down one of the most ruthless men alive, Nelson DeMille reunites readers with his charismatic hero John Corey.

Critic reviews

"DeMille's strengths are legend. His characters are rounded and appealing... His writing is fluid and accessible and his plots are tremendous." ( The Sun)
"Corey: a wise-ass with a splendid line in sarcasm, even in the most violent of circumstances." ( The Times)
"Written with a neat wry humour, it's full-on and fast-paced." ( Daily Mail)

I liked listening to this book, specially reading by Scott brick. It gave an in depth knowledge of inside enemy's mind and nature. The details are realistic and accurate. Only some ( I think twice ) unnecessary joke which can upset some people.

Anything Nelson DeMille pens has instant appeal for me. Always packed with action, Anti-Terrorist Task Force agent John Corey and his wife Kate are in the Yemen. The subject matter is Al Qaeda and one of its high ranking elusive operatives and yet the wise cracks from John Corey are endless.and guarantees many humorous moments throughout . Love the length of his books as it gave us so much information about the Yemen and it was certainly a real education and most enjoyable read for me.

Once again DeMille has written another excellent book with plot twists and the ever-present Cory-sarcasm making it a very enjoyable read. However, I cannot fathom why Kate remains a character in these series and the plot would not have changed if her character were removed.

Once again…a Great read

I was very disappointed as I’d always enjoyed the JC stories, only ever read the books tho.
I found the narrator annoying, he kept referring to Aden as Arden.
The story itself was very slow going and I tired of it quickly.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.



John Corey is a very funny character whose witty asides really made this book work for me. I have not tried a Nelson Demille book before but it will not be the last I will certain read others with the John and Kate characters.



The narrator was a really good choice the voice was perfect.

An absolutely fabulous read

I started reading Nelson De Mille many years ago. I was struck by his attention to detail without seeming to labour the point, or including the minutiae. The Panther does have its moments of suspense, action and humour. The problem for me was, that it also has very long passages of dialogue that does not add to the story, or the cadence of the book. I'm no writer, but this book seemed padded out and could have been less long winded.

The ending is where I think he could have spent some time detailing debriefings, and being generally neater and less abrupt.

I just hope the next John Corey installment is less of a disappointment.

It's no 'Plumb Island'

Not my favorite book, long ,very slow, with grating mispronunciations. One should be used to the American inability to pronounce Middle Eastern names, but Aden is not pronounced Rden, and chai is as Church not Charlotte.
