Ratings and reviews

I have been listening to the audio version of these books since the beginning. This was #8 and my least favorite so far. Still a good book but did not portray Pendergast as I am use to. The audio had blank areas and the narrator was not able to get the slow southern drawl I have become use to from the other audios. Decent story but poor choice of narrator.

The most boring one that I've listened to yet.

Use another Narrator. his voice is devoid of talent

About the author

The thrillers of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child "stand head and shoulders above their rivals" (Publishers Weekly). Preston and Child's Relic and The Cabinet of Curiosities were chosen by readers in a National Public Radio poll as being among the one hundred greatest thrillers ever written, and Relic was made into a number-one box office hit movie. They are coauthors of the famed Pendergast series and their recent novels include Fever Dream, Cold Vengeance, Two Graves, and Gideon's Corpse. In addition to his novels, Preston writes about archaeology for the New Yorker and Smithsonian magazines. Lincoln Child is a former book editor who has published five novels of his own, including the huge bestseller Deep Storm.
