A long out-of-print delight
Until March 2007 it was impossible to find
Relic
in audiobook format. This unabridged recording makes available once again the first novel written by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. It's the first book to feature Special Agent Pendergast (there are seven total), and it's a terrific novel. And the audio recording, while not the highest sound quality, is a great performance by David Colacci. The only downside to this book is that the sequel, Reliquary, is only available in printed format (not audiobook). I hope that changes soon!
Fantastic
Doug Preston & Lincoln Child are fantastic writers.
I own and have read all of their books.
Exceptional mystery and suspense with high tech information thrown in.
I recomend all of their books.

Relic
This book is the first in the cases of FBI Agent Aloysius Pendergast, and is the really terrifying one. A very disturbing book in many ways, mostly because it reflects a human as an involuntary monster, whose sad human eyes perceive other humans as victims and as necessity to keep the monster alive. And it all takes place in a museum, one place one would never expect such events to happen.
Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston are very talented authors and it is always terrific to read their books. (Separately or togther)
Linda Sheean
This will be a classic thriller.
You gotta love a book who's premise is that every million years or so a quirk of evolution emerges to weed out the weaker (once dominant)species. You also have to love FBI Agent Pendergast, a genuinely different character, full of secrets as dark as those he endeavors to reveal during his gruesome assignments. He's a quirky James Bond, only cooler. Lots of tension in this book--among characters, among twists in the plot line, and in homo sapiens' place in the world.
Heart pounding action....blood and gore...a great cast of characters, an original "monster", and dark scary places....what else could you want?

Quite different than the movie
OK, this here's the beginning of the Pendergast series, and was the basis of a movie by the same name in the 90s. I wanted to check out this series but had seen the movie a couple of times, and was tempted to start with the sequel. I'm glad I started here. The books is much different than the film. Pendergast doesn't appear in the movie. A very enjoyable read, and the sequel, Reliquary is even louder, more exciting and more threatening than the first.
