The Relic

Summary: don't let the movie sway you
Review: how they could make the movie and leave out Pendergast is beyond me...

This is a great book. Fast-paced, thrilling, suspenseful, it has elements of sci-fi, mystery as well as adventure... and best of all, it introduces a truly great character, Agent Pendergast. He's here in more or less seminal form, merely the promise of the Agent Pendergast we see in Cabinet of Curiosities, but still very good.

Great book, mediocre movie. Read the book, skip the video.
