Nelson DeMille's "Night Fall" takes on Flight 800 and the mystery behind the crash.
John Corey, a anti-terrorist task force member, finds himself in the middle of the investigation along with an explicit video made by a couple who captured the plane explosion while in the middle of their passions on the beach.

Nelson DeMille hastens to tell us in his introduction to NIGHT FALL that this is a work of fiction, based on fact.
DeMille not only makes the discourse a fascinating one but also argues the opposing points so well that no matter how convinced one might be about the cause of the Flight 800 explosion, they will walk away full of doubt.

 Salon | Bestseller Hell - Plum Island
There are still funny books being written -- the wonderful Donald Westlake and the reliable Carl Hiasen are still working, praise be -- but their characters are, in general, far too dim and obsessed to achieve the ironic distance needed for a wisecrack.
It should be said immediately that Nelson DeMille is no David Baldacci.
His prose is competent and useful; his sentences make sense and appear to be arranged in the proper order; his metaphors are infrequent and, when presented, do not leap from boat deck to bird nest in the space of nine words.

Teamed with the sexy, sly and savvy Susan Weber, Brenner proves to be the man of the year and a force to be reckoned with.
Although 20 cassettes may, at first, seem like an overwhelming amount of book talk, DeMille's superb characterization, engaging setting and riveting plot will lead to regret that there's not 21, 22, 23 or 24 cassettes.

 The VVA Veteran   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Up Country is a readable, fast-moving, clever DeMille thriller that centers on a Vietnam veteran--former Army CID man Paul Brenner, who first appeared in The General's Daughter--who goes to Vietnam in the late nineties to solve a murder that took place during the war.
Our conversation centered on DeMille's service in the Vietnam War--he was a 1st Cav infantry LT in 1967-68--and about how a visit to VVA's national headquarters in 1994 led to the central idea of Up Country.
DeMille, in fact, submitted a letter and some other information to the VI program shortly after his first visit to the national office.

 www.reviewingtheevidence.com | NIGHT FALL, by Nelson DeMille
Most thrillers seem to be 'wham, bam, thank you ma'am' hurtles around the world with the hero's life and limbs in danger at every turn.
That ain't so in Nelson DeMille's NIGHT FALL which has to be the most one-paced thriller I've ever read -- and that pace is a stately crawl.
In fact, I was on the point of giving up on the book several times over the opening 150 pages or so.The first third of the book is a very clumsy information dump to the point where it really is all talk and no action.

However, many of the examples of amoral or immoral behavior by the Soviets are gratuitous, in that they don't directly affect the plot.
Also, DeMille establishes a genuine feel for being a visitor within the totalitarian Soviet state.
His knowledge of the history, culture, and geography of Russia comes through very well, and the Russian ambiance is the most convincing part of the book.
