The first book I read from Nelson DeMille was By the Rivers of Babylon published in 1978. It was one of the best books I have ever read. Over the years I have read all of DeMille's books. John Corey without a doubt is an unusual hero, there is nothing that this guy seems to take seriously yet each time he manages to foil the enemy attempts to destroy the United States.
It seems to me that the earlier John Cory books had a little more meat to them than the last few. While the idea that a Russian trying to blow up lower Manhattan with a suitcase atomic bomb is interesting, I felt that we'd been there and done that.
That said DeMille's books are good for listening to while working around the house or in the garden.
