Synopsis

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?

Goodreads review by Luffy Sempai on April 29, 2020

For some time, the book promised a 5 star read. But the author mistook minutiae for perfectionism. The writer also claims he took artistic license. I couldn't verify this in most cases, except for gun silencers. They still make the loud noises that defeat their purpose. Nelson Demille is even now a s......more

In an age where both new and established authors toil endlessly to create fascinating plots and multidimensional characters, it is refreshing to see a writer such as Nelson DeMille fearlessly release a book that is so spectacularly phoned-in.

DeMille in top form. This book is considerably shorter than previous John Corey books, but not necessarily less. Well, less of what can be overly repetitive. Here, Corey doesn't have time to tell us eighteen times that, if he was right, a lot of people could die. In the longer novels that preceded t......more

Goodreads review by Ed on June 02, 2015

I am pleased to report that it's safe to become reacquainted with Nelson DeMille's books again after last year's unforgettably tedious 600 page chase through Yemen in "The Panther". In "Radiant Angel", John Corey is back in New York watching Russian UN personal for the Diplomatic Surveillance Group......more
