Great Book
I am a huge fan of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child and their books. This one is another hit, and a must read! :o)

I have quite a few of the author's writings. Very pleased with them and I have read them over many times.

Great Read as Usual
Preston and Child have done it again. The story takes swift and shocking turns through the familiar landscape of the Pendergast Books. New characteristics of each of our heroes and villains surface with surprising speed. Slightly predictable at times, we still can't help but love to share in the lives of Pendergast, Constance, Vinny, Laura and of course the evil mind of Diogenes. This book is referred to as the last of the Diogones Trilogy, Maybe it is or maybe it isn't... Of course we can't wait for the next one.
