  <default-description>The New York Museum of Natural History receives their pilfered gem collection back....ground down to dust. Diogenes, the psychotic killer who stole them in Dance of Death, is throwing down the gauntlet to both the city and to his brother, FBI Agent Pendergast, who is currently incarcerated in a maximum security prison. To quell the PR nightmare of the gem fiasco, the museum decides to reopen the Tomb of Senef. An astounding Egyptian temple, it was a popular museum exhibit until the 1930s, when it was quietly closed. But when the tomb is unsealed in preparation for its gala reopening, the killings--and whispers of an ancient curse--begin again. And the catastrophic opening itself sets the stage for the final battle between the two brothers: an epic clash from which only one will emerge alive.</default-description>

So I'm all out of order here, but I don't <em>think</em> that has anything to do with how I saw the book.<br/><br/><em>The Book of the Dead</em> was another page-turner from Preston and Child.  I flew through these 600 pages.  I was mostly able t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37927326">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I like the Lincoln and Child books.  Not sure why.  There's nothing all that remarkable about them, but they are just entertaining stories that are not completely predictable and mindless.  I remember reading Relic when I was a kid and loving that, and I have read several more of their novels set in...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/15879852">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Definitely the lesser of all the &quot;Pendergast&quot; novels I've read. Another slaughter at a gala opening at the Museum of Natural History, which makes me wonder why anyone in their right mind would ever walk through the museum's doors, let alone attend a gala opening. <br/><br/>And this books...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/15626108">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[<br/>This book is the end of what the authors call their Pendergast trilogy, which begins with Brimstone and follows with Dance of Death. I have read blurbs by people who say that you can read it as a stand-alone; well, imho, don't even think about it. The first two end as cliffhangers and this one...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/15236226">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Diogenes Pendergast was a thoroughly evil...but there was a reason. So...is to understand all to forgive all? I don't think so.<br/><br/>If your into the Pendergast novels this is a good continuation...but if you're unfamiliar with them...I'd suggest dropping back and starting with the first novel...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75426181">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I enjoyed the first book in this trilogy, &quot;Brimstone&quot; featuring Special Agent Pendergast and his evil brother.  The first book was novel, this one was much less so.  I felt the plot was more contrived, straining credulity, melodramatic and predictable.  Other than that it was a fun fluff l...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/22104894">more...</a>]]></body>
