Just finished The Panther by Nelson Demille. It was good although not near as compelling as his earlier books. He has replaced his talent for setting very suspenseful scenes with John Corey's bland and annoying sarcasm. The book was 500 plus pages long but cut out the boring sarcasm and it would have been a lot faster read.
And he makes a geographic error early on placing Dover Air Force Base in Maryland when it, in fact, is in Delaware. Which is probably why it is called Dover and not Baltimore Air Force Base.
Anyway, good read with a great ending.
