From The Book:
After a harrowing, otherworldly confrontation on the shores of Exmouth, Massachusetts, Special Agent A.X.L. Pendergast is missing, presumed dead. Sick with grief, Pendergast's ward, Constance, retreats to her chambers beneath the family mansion at 891 Riverside Drive--only to be taken captive by a shadowy figure from the past. Proctor, Pendergast's longtime bodyguard, springs to action, chasing Constance's kidnapper through cities, across oceans, and into wastelands unknown. And by the time Proctor discovers the truth, a terrifying engine has stirred-and it may already be too late .
My Thoughts:
I have enjoyed this series...which I discovered by sheer accident...for many years. Agent Pendergast is a strange character that borders on the mystical and paranormal side but is a brilliant detective that like Sherlock Holmes...always gets his man...or is that the Mounties? Anyway... you may be amazed...you may be befuddled... you may be exasperated at times...but the one thing you will absolutely never be is bored.
The story is packed with action..sometimes a bit too much. Old nemesis return that should have stayed dead and buried...and the ending was rather bittersweet...but luckily for fans of this series the saga continues to play out.
