Summary: A Great Read, Fun and Exciting page turner.
Review:
Douglas Preston and Lincoln child are masters at producing enthraling and captivating stories that keep the reader soin to the story that it is hard to close the book.
I read the story in about 4 days and am already excited to go get the next one at the library. I have read the other 4 book in the series and surley will read the next 3. These two authors are marvelous.
I enjoyed Thunderhead's story line very much, It centers around a group of archeologists setting out on a journey to find a lost Anaizazi city called Quivira. This city is thought to contain a huge amount of treasure and knowledge about the Anazazi culture. Throught the book the groups personalities blend and crash to create wonderful dialogue and character background. I like each character in their own seperate way. I was glad to see Bill Smithback make a return and I also like how in the Preston Child books all the female characters are hott yet smart and strong.
The authors definatly create likeable and fun books that will make you laugh. The details of the Anazazi culture and customs plus some pasages that actually teach you stuff,, shows how the authors do their research/homework very well. This was a Great book that didn't seem to have any boring parts.
A SUBERB NOVEL

Summary: Takes you along on the adventure of your life!!
Review: All Preston and Child books are great but this is by far the best.Having an intense interest in Anasazi archaeology and a love for this area of the four corners the story took me right along with the expedition! I have never read another archaeology novel which seemed so real! I've read this book 3 times and enjoy it even more each time.With their knowledge of this subject and area of the southwest I can only hope they will write another similar story before I wear my copy out!!!

Summary: Another exciting adventure from 2 great authors !
Review: As I have said before, these two writers know how to tell a gripping tale. This one is a ripping yarn about the search for a lost Indian city in the American West by an intrepid band of scientists.My only little gripe is that the title of the book did not seem right to me, though it does refer to an important feature of the story. I would have called the book by the name of the city they were searching for.

Summary: Anasazi and Aztecs and Zombies - Oh, My!
Review: Child and Preston have gotten better with each succeeding novel, and Thunderhead is one of their most recent. At their best, they read rather like adult versions of Jonny Quest: exotic locales, a fair share of mystery, a lot of adventure and intrigue, and just a soupcon of sci-fi or the supernatural. The authorial dynamic duo this time take on the mystery of the disappearance of the Anasazi, and the search for a lost city of gold. Their research is up to date, and their posed solution for the Anasazi's disappearance/demise is quite intriguing. Local color is excellent, and the action superior - Douglas Preston once personally retraced Coronado's journey on horseback, and he does a great job making the reader feel the reality of it. The characters in Thunderhead are what really make it work, though. Bill Smithback, from the Relic books, is much more fully realized here than in his previous appearances. Heroine Nora is as sympathetic as they come: a previous reviewer said Sarah Michelle Gellar would be ideal for the role; they could have gone further, and noticed that the girl who becomes Nora's nemesis could as easily be played by Eliza Dushku, since the dynamic between the two in Thunderhead is a great deal like that of the two antagonistic Slayers in Buffy. The villains of the piece are far from black-hearted ogres, shaded with a very believable moral ambiguity, which is one of the greatest strengths of the book. My only complaint about Thunderhead is that it had to end. I'm given to understand that Nora and Bill are slated to appear in an upcoming C&P book, and that's good, because they started to feel like old friends by the time I was finished riding this long, involving adventure trail with them.

Summary: Dunder Head
Review: I ripped right through this page turner, but it was very formulaic and had some weak points. First, the 'hero' is an anal-retentive selfish fool. The 'romances' in the book are contrived and lead nowhere. The premise that a bunch of archeologists would get gold fever was unnecessary and made the book seem dumber. The 'flash flood' would have gone in the direction of the lake, but due to a plot device, it went backwards to force the 'hero' back to the camp. Otherwise, the venue is pretty original and the pacing is good. I sort of liked it.

Summary: Preston/Child - They're all I'm reading right now!!!
Review: Nora Childs visits her old home and is attacked by strange animal-like creatures. She receives a letter from her father dated years ago that leads her on a quest for Quivira, a city of the Anasazi Indians. While the first 150 pages were a little slow, the rest of the book was totally engrossing. Quivira and its archealogical finds are so interesting. The climb up the cliffs and the storm throughout the canyons makes for a very scary read.
I have bought all the Preston and Child books since reading this one. "Codex" is awesome. I love "Cabinet of Curiosities" and "Still Life with Crows." You MUST read these!
