The character development is outstanding and the descriptions of Pendergast are just unreal. He is such a "dynamo" of a hero and has such interesting, fascinating things about him that he is just irresistable. I loved this book and have read hundreds of mysteries......this is definitely up in the top 10. Loved it and I do mean loved it.             Brimstone200 reviews Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child Grand Central Publishing, 2005 Pendergast! You'd think after reading the majority of the Preston/Child novels that I wouldn't hesitate to purchase Brimstone. But I did. For some reason I wasn't, at first, attracted to the solo Pendergast novels. The struck me more as mysteries than the usual Preston Child book. And now that I've read one, I can confirm that is true...but they've converted me to a mystery reader! Pendergasts character is ...             The Cabinet of Curiosities (Pendergast, Book 3267 reviews Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child Grand Central Publishing, 2003 Best Pendergast Book I have read all of the Pendergast novels and other various Preston/Child works and find myself always thinking of this one as my favorite. Although I like the "Diogenes Trilogy" (Brimstone, Dance of Death and Book of the Dead), this one seemed to really work my imagination better. It was more mentaly stimulating for lack of a better phrase. One of the reasons I liked this book so much is ...             Reliquary (Pendergast, Book 2)180 reviews Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child Tor Books, 1998 another great thriller While I agree this book wasn't as good as Relic, it certainly was an admirable follow-up to it. Storylines left hanging in Relic were resolved albeit perhaps not in the most exciting of ways. What I read in this book enticed me to purchase The Mole People to find out more about the underground world brought out in the book.             The Book of the Dead (Pendergast, Book 7)190 reviews Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child Vision, 2007 Answers to many of the Pendergast questions ...

I was searching for good, new (to me) authors, when I realized I had read all of James Rollins' books and was waiting for my "to be sent when published in paperback" copy of Rollins' The Judas Strain. I read the reviews on Amazon and decided Preston and Child offered potential to interest me. I was right in sampling one of their books. Thunderhead interested me because it was about archeology ...             The Wheel of Darkness164 reviews Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child Vision, 2008 Hard core - don't miss it!

"Dance of Death" is finely written to hold your interest till the very last page. Thank you Preston and Child. Let's have more books with the Pendergast character. Sarah Jonker-Burke             Truman and Pendergast3 reviews Robert H. Ferrell University of Missouri Press, 1999 A fine read for any student of Truman Robert H. Ferrell's "Truman and Pendergast" is a fine addition to the ever increasing pantheon of written history of our 33rd (32nd) president. Ferrell focuses on a period which, until now, has not been the main focus of any Truman biography.
