I'm pretty iffy about thrillers, but true to the blurb on the back, it's certainly a page turner! My dad really likes these authors, and because I'm captivated by skinwalker legends, I had to pick this one up. The writing is good, although sometimes repetitive. I found that I liked Nora Kelley and her brother Skip, but the other characters weren't as convincing. We know that Sloane is a little nutty, but we only know this because Nora is suspicious about her to begin with, calling her aThis turned out to be a much better non-detour from the Pendergast series than I thought it would be. Nora is a fantastic character, very resourceful, and I can't wait to see how she fits in with the rest of the cast in the series. (Also, Smithback.... ehhhhh but I might be warming to him.)
There is no question that Preston and Child stick to what has become a pretty successful formula over the last few decades. Brilliant outsider discovers importune information that will change the world. They connect with someone loaded with cash who shares their interests. A motley crew of professionals is assembled. They go on an adventure together where many or most of them die. Someone betrays the group for something higher or greed. They (and other sundry bad guys) are overcome just at the
This book was so good! The setting was marvelously illustrated through the crafty prose so as to make the imagery palpable. The cast of characters was also great. This was my third Preston & Child read after Relic and Reliquary, and I would go as far as to say that this was better than the two combined. Very suspenseful and entertaining. I have been left craving another dose of the author duo. Very much looking forward to Cabinet of Curiosities.
The authors delivered a rousing, suspense thriller in a book that simply, could not be put down. Built upon previous scenes, the momentum of the storyline gained steam as it cunningly, cut it's way through chapter to chapter. It's never too much to expect a fitting ending and that too was delivered in style. All I ask for from any novel is one thing - to be entertained. This book took first prize gloriously.Patraic Kelly, an archaeologist had gone missing sixteen years ago while in search of the
Under certain circumstances, I can get on board with suspension of disbelief.So, waitno one recognizes that hes Clark Kent because he takes off his glasses, gives himself a spit curl, and wears his underwear outside his pants? That makes sense.Its all about contextif Im being asked to accept that a man can fly, obliterate things with heat beams from his eyes, and lift an elephant over his head without breaking a sweat, I can make some allowances for bending the rules of common sense a little.
Five glowing stars for this one. If you follow my reviews at all, you know I am deeply engrossed in any book written by the daring duo of Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston and their charming, mysterious and indefatigable FBI Agent A.X.I. Pendergast. I have read all 18 or 19 books in the series. Now, a change of pace for them and me. A character who has recurred in many of their books is Nora Kelly. She is a brilliant archeologist, young, attractive, dedicated, brave and curious. And she now has
