Radiant Angel by Nelson DeMille Book Summary

Prescient and chilling, DeMille's #1 New York Times bestselling novel takes us into the heart of a new Cold War with a clock-ticking plot that has Manhattan in its crosshairs.

After a showdown with the notorious Yemeni terrorist known as The Panther, John Corey has left the Anti-Terrorist Task Force and returned home to New York City, taking a job with the Diplomatic Surveillance Group. Although Corey's new assignment with the DSG-surveilling Russian diplomats working at the U.N. Mission-is thought to be "a quiet end," he is more than happy to be out from under the thumb of the FBI and free from the bureaucracy of office life.

But Corey realizes something the U.S. government doesn't: The all-too-real threat of a newly resurgent Russia.

When Vasily Petrov, a colonel in the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service posing as a diplomat with the Russian U.N. Mission, mysteriously disappears from a Russian oligarch's party in Southampton, it's up to Corey to track him down. What are the Russians up to and why? Is there a possible nuclear threat, a so-called radiant angel? Will Corey find Petrov and put a stop to whatever he has planned before it's too late? Or will Corey finally be outrun and outsmarted, with America facing the prospect of a crippling attack unlike anything it's ever seen before?

Radiant Angel. A good read. Maybe not his best but still worth reading…

Dcal. Disappointing. If this was your garden variety anti-terrorist book it would be a B-. I expect MUCH more from a DeMille/Cory book. Blah!!

Radiant Angel. John Corey at his best. His quips are great, and keeps the readers attention. The story moves smoothly. Looking forward to the next book.

Love this author. John Corey is my fave character. Demille is a master at putting together a great story and educating me at the same time. Thank you, ND

Great read!. Always a pleasure to keep up with John Corey and his adventures.

Another John Corey page-turner. A story filled with suspense. John Corey, a predictable character as to knowing he will always do the opposite of what he is told to do. Yet, he is patriotic and a hero in every sense of the word. Radiant Angel, like all DeMille stories is a page-turner. I sure hope he continues his Corey series. I will keep a close watch.

Radiant Angel. Dreadful! I have read everything from his wonderful, beautifully written Word of Honor to his Delightful Gold Coast. This book was a waste of time and money. I cannot believe the same man and team put this together. We deserve a refund. Go back to you basic talent or you will lose a lot of us.

Radiant Angel. Nelson DeMille. John Corey a retired NYPD Homicide Detective, also has worked with the Feds Anti Terrorist Task Force and now The Diplomatic Surveillance Group. A boring job he had to take in lieu of being terminated. He has a problem with following the rules, dosen’t get along well with Muslims he encounters on the job and follows his own rules. He and his temporary partnerTess a Federal Agent are trying to prevent a nuclear device being detonated in the New York. Harbor by a Russian colonel masquerading as a Russian Embassy official. An excellent read!! enjoyed immensely!!

Another winner!. I've enjoyed pretty much every book he's written. This is near the top as a none stop ride. However, there are a few incidents of "poetic license" and requirements to suspend disbelief. Too short. Read it in 5 hours straight.

H1 5 stars H2 2 stars (out of 5). Humorous page turner, but with all the dead characters later on it goes outside of sound entertainment. Oh, and Russians... Seriously? Whoever wrote this book obviously couldn't get over some long forgotten commies. It's ridiculous.

Amazing read. Once again, Nelson owes me a good night's sleep since he has taken one from me I couldn't put this down. I never cease to be amazed at how good he is at crafting his stories and characters and I can only hope that there are many more books (and therefore rent checks) to follow!

Great read!. I thought this was a great John Corey book except (warning: spoilers) his personal life. I gave it four stars and would have given five but Mr. DeMille (and this is not the first time) failed to give adequate back story regarding John and Kate. I guess they split as effortlessly and unemotionally as they got together so maybe that makes sense... Still, I liked them together and thought she did a good job of seeing the best in him and being (mostly) at peace with the rest. Unfortunately, she ended up as (apparently) inconvenient baggage. Again, so I end on a positive note, because the book was very good, I recommend it and enjoyed it - lots of fun Corey dialogue and a great story.

Three Point Five. Nelson kinda' had time on his hands, hence this book. It was "ok"...John Corey is funny...action packed but not quite vintage Nelson or Corey.

Fallen Angel. DeMille has been my favorite author for 25 years. He mailed this one in. I had to force myself to read it to the end. He’s got a lot of making up to do. I hope he can put this dreck behind him and return to the form that stood head and shoulders over fellow writers.

Radiant Angel. Have read most or all of Nelson's books. His style in unique. One of the few, enjoyed by both male and female readers. Looking forward to next one, probably a year from now. H. Samuels, Texas

Disappointed reader. Lacking in action. I would not buy this book again. Save your money.

Could have been better!. John is a great character. This book did not highlight his potential. It was a good story but just not in depth enough to warrant the length of the book. The ending was completely rushed and only two pages dedicated to John and Kate's marriage! Really! I hope John's next story redeems itself.

Excellent. Excellent fast paced read. Back to the original DeMille style and pace. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Good For Insomniacs!. I've asked my wife to read passages of DeMille's Radiant Angel as I lay in bed at night.....Bingo ...I'm asleep in minutes!

Rushed. Good story that moved quickly. Sad to see Kate & John break up with not much revealed as to why.

Disappointing effort. I'm a huge Demille fan. Read all of his stuff. This was highly disappointing with a cliche plot and predictable outcome. It feels as though the author was trying to stretch the book to an acceptable length. The middle chapters dragged and could have been wrapped up much sooner but then he would have had to write something interesting.

John Corey Returns!. John Corey is one of my all time favorite characters, and I am always so excited to read a new book about him. While I don't think I could ever dislike a book with him in it, I hate to say that this is definitely my least favorite of the series. It seemed short, rather shallow, and didn't have the feel of the other Corey books. I really missed the relationship between John and Kate. More even than the romantic relationship between them, I have loved their banter. Kate handles John and his adorably obnoxious comments so adroitly. They make a great team, and it didn't feel right without her. The new female who was added to the story seemed a poor substitute for her. I kept wondering why move Kate out of the story just to move in someone who seems a shadow of what Kate was to the books. I didn't see that she added any value to the series. It also seemed very odd to have ended the last book with everything great between John and Kate and then have their relationship totally broken apart at the beginning of this one. My favorite part of the John Corey books is the humor that Corey's behavior brings to the story. Most of that was missing from this book. I hope that the next book in the series will have more of a feel of the rest of the series instead of being like this one. Even though I didn't enjoy this book nearly as much as the others in the series, it is still a must read for John Corey fans. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing an ARC in return for an honest review.

Worst DeMille ever. Loved all of his earlier books. His more recent book have been at least interesting and enjoyable. This book however is awful. Not enjoyable. Each page was painful. The plot is thin. The characters are cliches and not realistic. The whole premise is at best ridiculous. If Nelson DeMille is reading this I hope he takes it to heart when he writes his next book. This one was just called in. The one star should really be no stars.

Review. I agree with Tammy, detective Corey is a terrific character and this was a very good book. I was however terribly disappointed by the ending in his personal life and how it was handled so casually by Mr. DeMille. You remain my favorite fiction writer but my sense of disappointment is palpable. Like Tammy i can only give Radiant Angel 4 stars and do so with a heavy heart.

Nope. He's phoning it in now.

It is not his best. A bit short, but wasn't as good as, say plum island. A bit less action but I mostly think that due to it being shorter. I enjoyed it. My only real complaint is how Kate presented - no spoilers though!

Another winner. Nelson DeMille has done it again with John Correy. Fast and hard to put down. John is at his best when the stakes are high. Well worth reading.

Radiant Angel. Good John Corey

Ritter. Boring. Disappointed

Disappointed. I’ve read all of DeMille’s John Corey books except The Panther. A good editor could take out the redundancies and cut the book by at least 40%. A trite example: one of the bad guys is walking around killing people on a boat. He wrapped a bar towel around his submachine gun, then a few pages later he found a larger towel to wrap around his machine gun. If you’re still reading a few pages later you will be astonished to learn that he has now found a pillowcase to wrap around his machine gun. I really hate to pay $12.99 for a book and skim much of it.

Radiant Angel. Again we have another tremendous novel in the John Corey series. It is a must read. Thank you Mr. Demille.

Radiant Angel. Good book, hard to put down. I'm no expert, but I found the end a little predictable but it was fun reading how the lead character pulled it off. I also thought character development was shallow in this book compared to those in the past. Within John Corey's universe, quite a bit of time passed since the last novel with only a brief explanation on what happened that weakly segues into the new story. And finally there is less closure at the end concerning Corey's personal life. What is happening with him, his marriage? What's next? Lots of loose ends left hanging. Almost like the author rushed to reach the end without caring about the flow of the story to the reader. I expect another John Corey novel should be coming soon to fill in all of those blanks. Maybe it won't be something so obvious and predictable.

2 stars is giving it something.. I've read everything The author has written. There was a time when no author could outdo his writing. But, as far as I'm concerned that all changed with 9/11 and his book about the TWA disaster. All he's written since is Corey - the all rolled into 1 Don Rickles, the Lone Ranger and Delta Force - zeroing in on the bad guy. The current book is a step down from the usual mediocre tale. About 50% of this book, is dialogue and action by the 2 main crazies without Corey's involvement. Save your money on this one.

Smaller planes. This last book was by far the worst. I knew what was happening through the hole thing. Go find those people who lost their loss and family!!! W H Gunther III.

Scary!!. I have read all DeMille books and loved every one. That is the good news and also the bad news. He isn't a writer that pops out a novel every couple of months so now I have to wait until the next DeMille novel is released. Radiant Angel is a great read but will leave you wondering How did this story come to be? Was it just DeMille's vivid imagination that put together a very realistic and scary novel or did one of his many police contacts mistakenly drop some classified information over drinks one night? Either way this book will make you think that we now live in a very crazy world.

Radiant Angel. Enjoyed this book from the very first page!!!

What a let down. I have followed this series and up to this point, the reads were incredible. Radiant Angel- What a let down- Spoiler: Removing Kate from the story was a disaster. She was a counter protagonist that let the readers into see into character John Corey. Sort of the Ying to his Yang. If Nelson reads these, he should rethink the direction.

Good read. Good read once I got into it. Alway enjoy the character of John.

Boring Waste of Time & Money. DeMille once wrote some good books. This is not one of them. Redundant boring dialogue had me skimming through page after page looking for anything interesting. The evil genius nonchalantly walks through two chapters killing unarmed people in boring, redundant detail, reminding us of the plot line over and over again. It's as if the author had to keep reminding himself, though I don't know why... It couldn't be more simplistic. Don't waste your time or money on this book.

Seriously?. I picked up the Lion’s Game at a garage sale, then fell in love with the JC series. But now there’s...this? After reading, it seems like DeMille was pressured by his publisher to crank out a book ASAP. He delivered to the publisher, sure, but not to the public. A great story if read on its own, but a slap in the face to anyone who has read even one book from the John Corey series. Hopefully he will turn things around in the next installment, but if not at least it was fun while it lasted. Yikes.

More credit. I was hesitant to buy this book after reading the reviews, but decided to give it a shot. I've read all the John Corey books and I thought this was a good story. Not as in-depth as the past books as far as background and length, but it was a fun read. I'm not giving it 5-stars because of how much of a main character Kate was in the other books and it does seem like she was just cheaply removed but hey, maybe these reviews will bring her back ;)

Radiant Angel. This is a must read! RIP John Corey
