5.0 out of 5 stars WHEN IRISH EYES ARE SMILING..., Jun 28 2009
By Lawyeraau (Balmoral Castle) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Cathedral (Mass Market Paperback)
This is another exciting, well-written thriller by the author. In this one, the struggles of Northern Ireland are featured, and the writing is exceptional. Suspenseful, with an intricate plot and well-fleshed characters, this book will keep the reader riveted until the very last page is turned.

Irish Republican Army (IRA) soldier, Brian Flynn has emerged from the heat of conflict in Northern Ireland with a master plan for seizing world renowned St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City on St. Patrick's Day. His plan includes the taking of three very special hostages, one of whom is a former IRA terrorist turned peace activist, who just happens to be Flynn's former lover and main squeeze, the beautiful Maureen Malone. The others are Sir Harold Wilson, the British Consul General in New York, and his eminence, the Cardinal.

Due to the fact that a former IRA terrorist and the British Consul General are joining the Cardinal on the steps of his Cathedral for a historic photo opportunity, the press is there in full force, as are members of the New York City Police Department (NYPD). Among them is Irish American Lieutenant Patrick Burke from NYPD Intelligence. When all hell breaks loose, the hostages are taken and NYPD discovers too late that the Cathedral has been booby trapped. With the hostages facing almost certain death, it is up to Burke to make sure that they survive, as the cards are stacked against them, with a traitor inside NYPD and a British Intelligence officer with his own secret agenda working against their survival.

This is a nail biter of a book, with many twists and turns interwoven within the complex, highly detailed plot and subplots. The characters are well-fleshed and, given the situation in which they find themselves, set the stage for great human drama that captures the reader. This is simply a wonderful, well-executed book that all those who enjoy well-written thrillers will love.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yet again surprised, April 13 2004
By T. C Gerlach "pootiboo" (Altoona, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cathedral (Mass Market Paperback)
This was definitely an interesting book. A cathedral in New York is taken over by an IRA offshoot. The characters, some you love and hate. Demille's characters are amazing. It's the same in all 5 of this books that I've read. There's no sappy dialogue, or stupid replies. Everything is witty and sharp. I wish that I had read the one with a map of the church, but after awhile I got pretty good at imagining what the inside of the cathedral looked like. In the end it definitely had me waiting with held breath to see what would happen.

3.0 out of 5 stars Insightful, Sep 30 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Cathedral (Mass Market Paperback)
Given 9/11, an international terrorist attack within the US is believable and almost expected. But this predates that horrible day, and captures some of the confusion such an event would mushroom.

There are a broad range of characters in the book and they all have moderate substance to them.

The author does a good job of portraying the sentiments of an "occupied" people. And, quite rightly, paints a dark picture of the ways, means and morality of British intelligence agencies. It also captures the ridiculous, irresponsible nature of bureaucracies and politicians when they are plunged into unfamiliar territory.
