"A soft breeze fluttered the white, blue, and red Russian flag in front of the U.N. mission. I remember when the Soviet hammer and sickle flew there. I kind of miss the Cold War. But I think it's back."RADIANT ANGELAfter 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? Prescient and chilling. DeMille's new novel takes us into the heart of a new Cold War with a clock-ticking plot that has Manhattan in its crosshairs.Please note: Radiant Angel is published in the UK under the title A Quiet End.

John Corey, now working as a federal contract agent with the Diplomatic Surveillance Group, is assigned to watch Petrov. Corey and the DSG know Petrov is with the SVR but they don't know what nefarious purpose has caused him to masquerade as a diplomat. Corey is conducting surveillance with Tess, who claims to be a trainee with aspirations of joining the FBI. Corey isn't quite certain that her claim is truthful. He also has trust issues concerning his wife, which turns into a minor subplot as the story nears its conclusion.Corey has an irreverent attitude that makes him a fun character. He holds some grudges against the CIA over a nasty incident in Yemen. He has more than a few grudges against Islamic terrorists but he's convinced that Russia continues to pose a greater security threat (an opinion that doesn't sit well with the State Department, politicians, or most of the intelligence community). Of course, following the universal law of thriller fiction, Corey is right and everyone else is wrong.The first third of Radiant Angel, setting up the puzzle of what Petrov might be up to, is quite good. The next section, in which the focus shifts to Petrov, some Russian thugs, and a horde of hookers, is standard thriller fare. It moves quickly but the Russians are fairly dull and they're up to the same brand of mischief that has characterized Russian thriller villains for the last half century. The final third brings Corey and Tess back into the picture and the fun resumes.Nelson DeMille kicked the rust off of a reliable formula and put it back in action, creating an unimaginative story that nevertheless conveys a sense of realism. DeMille has an undeniable gift for generating excitement, but Radiant Angel feels like a story I have read many times before. I give it high marks for "fun factor" but a low score for originality.DeMille writes with a good deal of wit. Dialog is particularly enjoyable. Corey is an easy character to like. Those factors and the novel's excitement are all good reasons to enjoy the story, which I did. Still, Radiant Angel's staleness and its predictable ending prevent me from placing it on the top shelf of thriller fiction.
156 of 166 people found the following review helpful. It is like watchin Die Hard #5 By Ninja Daniel San OK. So I don't usually do reviews but after finishing Radiant Angel I need to vent. As many other have pointed out, this is not the best work Mr. DeMille has done. This is not the DeMille who brought us Charm School, or Word of Honor, or The General's Daughter. And this is by far the worst John Corey book in the series way below Corey Classics like the The Lions Game and Night Fall. It is not even a match for The Panther which was not my favorite Corey book. If this book was a movie, it would be a straight-to-dvd or made-for-tv production and feels that way. Perhaps the influence of his son who is a screen writer? It is fairly short (not that long pages make a better book), almost like an extended "short story", it feels rushed, and lacks depth of characters and plot. John Corey himself is not himself and feels a little to tried and tired (and this is from someone who loves John). The romantic liaison is out of place and also tired and the unnecessary made-up side plot line about the possible infidelity of Kate Manfield seems like a week argument to allow for the possible attraction and flirting between John and his new much-younger partner. I waited a long time for the latest Corey episode and even pre-ordered the book in anticipation, in the end, I felt like I just watched another installment of the "Die Hard" series with John Corey in the place of Bruce Willis. For now I will go back and re-read the DeMille classics and hope that the next book lives up to its predecessors.
117 of 126 people found the following review helpful. Not DeMille Quality By Mike Z HUGE DEMILLE FAN HERE. SO... By far his least entertaining book. Complete let down. I am so disappointed. I would rather believe some imposter wrote this than the man who captivated us with so many intelligent top notch titles. What happened? Seriously! I am stunned at the lack of everything we have come to expect from Nelson DeMille. Setting aside the horrible plot-- minor spoiler here-- Kate is just vaguely upset with him? What? WHAT? She doesn't know him by now?... uggh I am so pissed ... this work was obviously rushed. Please Mr. DeMille take your time with the next one. We will still be here for you.
