Reliquary (Special Agent Pendergast Series #2)

EXCITING

Couldn't put the book down. Had me on the edge of my seat. Excellent writing. I have it in my permanent library now.

Pendergast!

Check it out!

I got this on audiobook and I love it. The audiobook is excellently done. It was full of twists & turns. Truly an enjoyable thriller. I hadn't read or listed to The Relic and now I have to get that one too!

A great follow-up to Relic!

If you liked Relic, you won't be disappointed! Preston and Child have followed-up with another bone-chilling murder mystery that you'll have a hard time putting down!

Excellent, highly recommended after reading the Relic!

A very good suspenseful novel that is even better than the Relic.

not that great

This book was exciting in the beginning but pretty bland and boring further on. It was not as good as other preston and child books such as 'cabinet of curiosities'

great research

I had to read this book since it was the sequal to relic. i thought it was done very well since somethines sequels can be so disappointing. i think the research Lincoln Child did to make it as real as possible with regards to the NYC Tunnel life really helped the plot of the book. I would read this again!

Special Agent Pendergast: Once again is faced with the same danger he thought he had solved!

The second book with Special Agent Pendergast, we get to know him even better in this book. He has to try and solve this mystery that seem so familiar to him....it's because he had faced this monster not to long ago (Relic...where we first meet this highly talented Special Agent Pendergast!) Nice sequel!

A reviewer

This book was entirely predictable. I wanted to see the SEALs in action, but of course they were killed off 15 pages into their introduction -- just like the SWAT team in Relic. I am really disappointed with this book. I was expecting more military action, and less detective work. Way to create completely cliche main characters who live, and kill off the interesting ones. I guess we're still not at that creative stage where our military friends actually do some good in the world.

Another great novel by Preston and Child!

I have not yet read Relic, however, it is the next book on my list to read. This book was still very good and was not confusing at all even if you didn't read Relic. It describes everything clearly and describes any important characters or events from Relic that are relevant to this book. I would definatly recommend this to anyone that enjoys a good mystery/thriller!

RELIQUARY

I think that this book was very unpredictable and exciting. The underground mutant race greatly surprised me and all of the murders and underground moles were very mysterious. The flesh-eating Amazonian creature reptilian museum beast that feasted on human brains were being planned to be washed out of the sewers before Pendergast must battle his way into the pitch-black abyss to keep the flow contained.

LOTS OF SURPRISES!

I really enjoyed 'The Relic' and was thrilled that a sequel came out! It starts out a bit slowly but turns out to be another great read!

...

I couldn't find a copy of Relic at the library, so I read this one, and I have to say, it had me on the edge the whole novel. However I did not really enjoy the bits with the Take Back the City or whatever it was that Mrs. Wisher was leading. It was tedious and I felt it was unnecessary, but other than that it was good. Now I just have to read Relic.

Pretty good!

It wasn't as good as relic but it certaintley summed everyting up, and didnt leave you with anymopre questions. it was very interesting to find out who was really behind everything. i was so surprised!I am looking forward to reading their next novel Riptide

Disappointing

After having been entertained with Relic, I looked forward to the sequel. While I was pleased with the further characterization of FBI agent Pendergast and cop D'Agosta, I felt the plot was bogged down with the uninteresting and didactic 'take back the streets' rally of the rich. The ending was preposterous. Although I can suspend my disbelief to a great extent, I was laughing when the 'mastermind' was revealed. Nice try, but ultimately, it didn't work for me.

Awesome followup to the Relic!

I loved the Relic! I was so excited to find that Preston and Child had written a sequel. And I was not disappointed! Even to the very end I was caught up in the suspense. I highly recomend this book!!!!

A worthy sequel

Good job Preston/Child. A worth sequel indeed and it must have been a tall order to come up with something. I admit it is not as good as RELIC and it's not as good as CABINET OF CURIOSITIES (the 3rd), but it is still very good.

There are just no words to describe this....

This book was fantastic. More than once did my jaw drop to the floor and stay there till chapters ahead. Like their other books, this one is well written, if not better. Agent Pendergast and D'Agosta make a great team. This book is on the top my my list. I cant wait till the next one (with agent pendergast and d'agosta..after Brimstone..)

Different

Even though it has the same characters from Relic the story and actions are very different. I would recomend this book.
