Ratings and reviews

I seriously cant get enough of learning about him in a day for my Pendergast "Fix". Im new to the series, all over the board with reading up on Preston&Childs brain child. I love em!

It was edge of your seat reading. I loved all of the Tibetan things and even most of the ocean liner plot was well done. I did have some issues with the way the ocean liner plot ended but that does not detract from the fact that this is a book well worth reading.

It's interesting. There're some supernatural elements in the story. Pendergust, as usual, was eccentric.

About the author

The thrillers of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child "stand head and shoulders above their rivals" (Publishers Weekly). Preston and Child's Relic and The Cabinet of Curiosities were chosen by readers in a National Public Radio poll as being among the one hundred greatest thrillers ever written, and Relic was made into a number-one box office hit movie. They are coauthors of the famed Pendergast series and their recent novels include Fever Dream, Cold Vengeance, Two Graves, and Gideon's Corpse. In addition to his novels, Preston writes about archaeology for the New Yorker and Smithsonian magazines. Lincoln Child is a former book editor who has published five novels of his own, including the huge bestseller Deep Storm.
