Product Description
From Amazon.com
Hold on tight, because bestselling author Nelson DeMille has combined three of his supersonically charged thrillers into one megasized edition. Each of the novels, Word of Honor, Cathedral, and By the Rivers of Babylon, is very different in plot, but clearly patented by DeMille's distinctive fingerprints: a fascination for 20th-century politics, a high level of human interest, and ongoing clashes of good versus evil.
In Word of Honor, Vietnam veteran Ben Tyson is accused of committing a heinous wartime crime. As his reputation and his inner spirit are battered, Ben must fight the biggest battle of his life.
Cathedral takes place on St. Patrick's Day, in New York City. A renegade I.R.A. group seizes a huge cathedral, along with the worshippers inside. As the hours pass and the tension mounts, the fate of the hostages does not look good.
Finally, the hotly contested Arab-Israeli conflict serves as the nucleus of inspiration for By the Rivers of Babylon. When two Concorde jets crash-land in the desert, the passengers (all peace ambassadors) must battle it out with an army of Palestinian commandos. The final showdown is an appropriately dramatic finish to DeMille's Three Complete Novels. --Naomi Gesinger

5.0 out of 5 stars
Nelson DeMille is one of the very best,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nelson DeMille: Three Complete Novels: Word of Honor; Cathedral; By the Rivers of Babylon (Hardcover)
I read all three of these novels, for the first time, quite a while ago. The plots were so well planned and his ability to convey actions, thoughts, etc., etc. is outstanding. He is one of those authors that REALLY can make you 'live' the story. He has 'depth' in his writing. I believe these 'older' novels are three of his very best. I have read these novels twice and plan to read them again after an interval of a couple of years. I can't imagine anyone regretting buying this book! If you only like the Quick Reads, these are not for you. These novels, you 'soak in' and wish for them to go on and on and on.

3 Amazing Novels,
By John Sileo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nelson DeMille: Three Complete Novels: Word of Honor; Cathedral; By the Rivers of Babylon (Hardcover)
I read these books while traveling from city to city throughout Europe. They were simply amazing. Though the novels lack DeMille's typical sarcastic wit, they fail in nothing. All provoke deep thought and reflection. These are intensive books that place you in the situation and leave you reeling from the action.

5.0 out of 5 stars
irony,
By Stacie D. Elston "GHOST READER" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nelson DeMille: Three Complete Novels: Word of Honor; Cathedral; By the Rivers of Babylon (Hardcover)
I love Nelson Demille. All three of these books were great. I think it was a little ironic that I was reading By the Rovers of Babylon when Bin Laden was finally killed. Good Stuff.
