A macabre & exhilirating listening adventure:
Reliquary is the sequel to Relic which first introduced us to FBI special agent Pendergast. This story picks up where the original story ended, but we are now drawn outside the halls of the venerable museum in which the first story took place. Now, we are taken below ground - deep below ground. We are introduced to a dark world, peopled with strange characters living in alien blackness. Outcasts from the world above, these "mole" people have fled the daylight to escape the trappings of traditional society,... more info
Another interesting Preston/Child book:
I agree with most people that this book did not live up to Relic, but it is still a great story. It reads well as an independent book and the setting is very interesting below NYC. I think that it took a little bit too long to really get going, but when it did it was really strong.
Reliquary:
Preston and Childs books are just incredible! Very complex, full of ideas you've never been exposed to before (and at times, thankfully). I learn something every time I read one, and I Love Agent Pendergrast!
