    This was a bit more of a book than I have been reading lately. Quite lengthy. But I couldn't put it down (I am lae in coming to know these characters and the writers).

    Special Agent Pendergast and archaeologist Nora Kelly team up again in this thrilling adventure, bone-chilling, novel. And as always, Lincoln and Child keep us on the edge of our seat anticipating their next move. The highs and lows were spectacular!

    As they work independently, and again together, we read a well researched novel that can only be called "spectacular"!

    When a centuries old mass murder is uncovered, Pendergast and Kelly are the only locals that can cover it and perhaps provide information that will provent a "copycat" from adding to the death toll. Is a killer from the 19th century back from the grave? Only these two can find the truth.

   I highly recommend this novel if you enjoy action, adventure, mystery, crime, and just a bit of the paranormal. 

I give this novel

I have long been a fan of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child! This book doesn't leave you lacking for adventure and excitement! 

This novel includes our favorite heroine, Nora Kelly. The archeologist is sent on an assignment to the great northwest of the United States, in search of the lost Donner party camp. What she finds will require assist from the local Sheriff's department, as well as the FBI. 

She finds the camp, but what she finds there may cost more than what she's bargained for. It may cost her very life. With a twist you just won't see coming, I highly recommend this novel for any Preston & Childs fans. (And if you're not, this is a great place to start!) 

I give this novel Five Stars 

and a big Thumbs Up!

Homicide Detective D'Agosta and FBI Agent Pendergast delve deep into the world of voodou and obeah, to the realm of the zombii in search of a killer, or killers, on the loose in upper Manhattan. A world where animal, and perhaps human, sacrifice, are well known.

Or is what appears to be reality, the real truth?

The twists and turns of fantasy and imagination keep this novel hopping from one foot to th other as you try to outguess the pro's in what will happen next!

Even the most die-hard of "who-dunnit" fans will find this one hard to solve!

I give this book...

...five stars and my...

...thumbs up award!

Not suitable for children under the age of 13.

An ancient horror, the Tunit called the kurrshuq has escaped from its ice tomb and is about to begin its killing spree.

A handful of natives flee. Leaving behind their shaman who travels with one lone white man to the base located at Alaska's Federal Wilderness Zone, where a filming crew and a small military attachment are working to bring the creature to the public's eye.

But the creature has other, ancient, plans.

This book took me a while to really get into, about half way through it before I could find a real interest. But then Child hits you with a style that leaves you spellbound and hanging onto the edge of your seat waiting and wanting for more!

I was spellbound for the second-half!

Death happens. And it happens to several individuals. But the writer does not go into the "gory" details, for which I am thankful! [I do not like the blood and gore type of descriptives]. Child tastefully tells the story, getting the points across, without making us feel that we have a ringside seat to the carnage.

Thriller?

You bet ya!!

You won't want to put this down! I give this book five stars!
