Why Listen to This Audiobook?

Scott Brick narrating John Corey's deadpan snark about Russian spies feels uncomfortably timely in ways DeMille probably didn't intend.

  • Great if you want: a wisecracking hero threading real geopolitical tension
  • Listening experience: breezy but tense — Corey's humor cushions a dark premise
  • Narration: Brick's dry authority nails Corey's smug, self-aware confidence
  • Skip if: you're new to the series — payoff leans on prior Corey history

About This Audiobook

Radiant Angel sends John Corey from the Anti-Terrorist Task Force into the comparatively quiet world of surveilling Russian diplomats at the United Nations — until a Russian intelligence officer vanishes from a Southampton party. Corey, convinced the U.S. government is underestimating a resurgent Russia, goes off-protocol to track the man before whatever he's carrying can be deployed. DeMille sets his thriller against a believable geopolitical backdrop and populates it with Corey's signature sardonic observations about bureaucratic incompetence and genuine danger.

Scott Brick is a natural fit for John Corey, matching the character's wisecracks and underlying tension with ease. The Manhattan setting comes alive in audio, and Brick's pacing keeps the thriller's long runtime from sagging. Fans of the series will find his voice inseparable from the character at this point in the series.
