If there were a wish-I-hadn't-wasted-time-on-this-book shelf, then that's where I'd shelf this waste of paper. Grrrr. This book illustrates one of my pet peeves so clearly. I hate it when authors keep you going on the promise of the most astounding secret about a protagonist that will be revealed and then end the book in preparation for the sequel. This is literary laziness and cheating the reader to keep them going with a false promise. The authors don't have enough material to write a good...more

Wow. Just finished this book the other day. Before that, I'd been balancing in my brain if these guys really are the best or what. Some of their books are hits and some are misses.

am i proud that i read this shit? no. but read it i do, and i enjoy it. every book the same, but still well written, these guys have polished their craft a great deal since relic. the trilogy of brimstone, dance of death, and book of the dead, certainly held my attention. well done, given that it's schlock written at the 9th grade reading level. which is perfect for me.

"2nd in a series starring Agent Pendergast, who remains over the top, but this is even better than Brimstone. His evil brother runs an elaborate plot to kill his friends to cover a fabulous diamond heist. Some of it fails, some of it doesnŐt. To be continued."

A loony, overblown, improbable thriller, but in the very best sort of way. Don't try to force reality into the story - just don't think too hard and enjoy the ride.
