Summary: Very exciting read, keeps you reading when you shouldn't be.
Review: These authors have really gotten their act together. I have been reading this book when I should have been working and I even took this along on my boat because I was so into it. I have read most of Preston and Child's works and think that this is the most intense of their works. The book seems almost to be authentic in the content although at the end of the book the authors try to reaffirm that it is only fiction.

Summary: BONE CHILLER! YOU'LL MISS IT WHEN YOUR DONE READING IT!
Review: I was out of town when I was reading this one. I just wanted to stay in the hotel and read the whole time. This was my favorite Preston/Child's book so far. Definite page turner that will make your heart race!

Summary: COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!!!
Review: Definately one of Preston's & Child's best. I wish it had gone on longer. You felt like you were there in the city with Nora and everyone else. It was so real. Can't wait for the next one!

Summary: TOTALLY MINDBLOWING
Review: THIS BOOK ABSOLUTELY ROCKED IT KEPT ME ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE INCREDIBLE CLIMAX. PROBABLY THEIR BEST BOOK YET (EXCEPT FOR RIPTIDE). COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. FOR THREE DAYS I GOT 4 HOURS OF SLEEP A NIGHT BECAUSE I WAS SO ENGROSSED IN THE STORYLINE
Rating:
Summary: Fascinating, entertaining and educational read
Review: Great book! I read it while visiting Santa Fe so I really got the "feel". I impressed everybody with my knowledge of Southwest archeology. I've read all the Preston/Child books and have never been disappointed. Highly recommed!

Summary: Engrossing thriller and hard to put down
Review: I loved the book! However, the character development was not up to these authors' usual level, and I thought the ending was a little contrived.

Summary: Loved it. Would have like more development of the romance...
Review: This was an extremely fun read! The only thing I would have liked more of is the exchanges between Nora and Smithback, more development of their attraction. That would have made it one of the best books I've read. Not to take away any of the great scenes which were already there, but to flesh out the characters. There's nothing like a suspenseful life-and-death situation to bring people together--I just wanted more of it.By the way, why were the women characters referred to by their first names, and the men by their last names most of the time? Just wondering...

Summary: HI-TECH, ARCHAEOLOGY , HISTORY , SURREAL WEAVE
Review: These guys are the hottest authors for the past couple of years. Their blend of technology with an understanding of the past and a novel view of humans and their desires is riveting.They write about things that arouse and excite the adventuresome nature in us all. It's so invigorating to look at our established theories of past cultures in a new light. The suspense was fantastic and the characters so real. I could picture every scene. They have to write much faster.

Summary: Intelligent Page Turner
Review: This should be a best seller. I read it in two nights, could hardly put it down. Archaeology & witchcraft, a great combination!

Summary: Hard to put down, what's going to happen next?
Review: This is the first book by Douglas J. Preston and Lincoln Child that I've read. As I am from the Southwest, the storyline intrigued me. Needless to say, this was a book that I found very hard to put down once I started it. The storyline moves right along mixing actual archeological information on the Anasazi with the story. The result is part learning and part entertainment. For anyone that likes adventure with a little history and a dash of mystery, read this one.
