The Lions Game The Lion's Game In the novel, The Lions Game by Nelson Demille, the main events that influenced this book were the terrorist, Asad Khalil, overt racism and New York City ex-detective John Corey. In the following paragraphs it will be proven that all the events in this book were highly influenced by Asad Khalil's desire for revenge, the undisguised racism and the witty and sarcastic humour of John Corey. Asad Khalil's a psychopath with a blood feud against United States of America. Asad's family was killed in an American bombing of Libya on April 15, 1986. The bombs were dropped on Asad's hometown of Al Azziziyah. When his town was bombed his family was killed. Asad's father was already dead but his mother, 2 brothers and 2 sister were killed in the attack. When the attack occurred, Asad was 15 and he was with his girlfriend at the time. In Libyan culture this is a big taboo that is punishable by fifty lashes or being stoned to death. The bombs killed Asad's girlfriend Bahira the same night, but not by the bombs.
