A good, quick read, Wild Fire has an imaginative plot that is both ridiculously far-fetched and chillingly too real, a great deal of humor, and the ability to be a light summer read or a piece to make you think about the world. ( )

John Corey book 4

The story begins when Detective Harry Miller of the Federal Anti-Terrorist Task Force is sent to conduct surveillance at Custer Hill Club, a hunting club owned by a rich oil baron and reserved exclusively for powerful business leaders.

When he is found dead of an apparent hunting accident, a close colleague and friend John Corey together with his wife FBI Agent Kate Mayfield become interested in this surveillance gone wrong. Corey with his renegade style and disregard for normal procedure and his partner follow their instincts but the investigation quickly turns south.

The premise of the story is exciting and starts strong with a creative and plausible plot, the husband and wife team adds chemistry to the investigation. Although this action/adventure can be heart stopping at times it is too bad the author laid down his entire plan and the villain’s intentions early in the novel thus removing some of the suspense from the ending. I found John Corey the main character becomes annoying with his constant wisecracks and rude attitude towards everyone, the excessive use of profanity makes him look more like a gangster and not a representative of the law.

The book is mildly entertaining, an easy read and one easily forgotten. ( )

Another DeMille book that I couldn't put down. This one was very far fetched, it wouldn't be DeMille if it wasn't, but the characters were so engaging you just had to find out what they were doing next. ( )

Not quite as good as his last novel (Night Fall), Wild Fire is still a thrilling page-turner with protagonist John Corey trying to prevent nuclear Armageddon. ( )

Good One. It was funny , entertaining. Ficiton, Thriller. May be little slow intially but kept his pace throught the novel. ( )
