A spine-chilling and thrilling archaeological mystery with great characters. It is recommended to read this title before the 3rd book in the Pendergast series, The Cabinet of Curiosities. Even though our intriguing Special Agent doesn't appear in Thunderhead, the main character here, Nora Kelly, will start to feature more prominently in some of the future Pendergast titles.I really liked this book. I have only read one other Douglas Preston book and I liked it but this one was even better. I like archaeology and I love paranormal and Native American folklore so this was right up my ally. If you are at all interested in archaeology I would highly recommend this book.
This is the first book from Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child that I absolutely hated. It is so boring and just plods along like it has no place to go. UGH!Even the characters are boring and uninteresting: Nora Kelly, Peter Holyrood, Bill Smithback, Aaron Black, Roscoe Swire, Sloane Goddard and Luigi Bonarotti. There wasn't a pleasant person in the entire group. All they did was bitch and moan about the travel to the Anasazi site of Quivira. I thought all archeologists did was tromp from site to
Hell yes! Thunderhead was an entertaining and thrilling adventure! It was a griping read from the last 1/4 until the end. I could not put this book down!I loved this book because of the setting and subject material. Ive always enjoyed archaeology and the journey to explore hidden places, cultures and religions. It felt very much like reading a Indiana Jones book. It was right on target with that feeling. A group of archaeologists are on an expedition to the caves of Utah to explore a hidden city
Five glowing stars for this one. If you follow my reviews at all, you know I am deeply engrossed in any book written by the daring duo of Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston and their charming, mysterious and indefatigable FBI Agent A.X.I. Pendergast. I have read all 18 or 19 books in the series. Now, a change of pace for them and me. A character who has recurred in many of their books is Nora Kelly. She is a brilliant archeologist, young, attractive, dedicated, brave and curious. And she now has
There is no question that Preston and Child stick to what has become a pretty successful formula over the last few decades. Brilliant outsider discovers importune information that will change the world. They connect with someone loaded with cash who shares their interests. A motley crew of professionals is assembled. They go on an adventure together where many or most of them die. Someone betrays the group for something higher or greed. They (and other sundry bad guys) are overcome just at the
I really enjoyed this one! Preston/Child is always good and in my opinion, this is one of their best. It's the story of a search for the lost city of gold, Quivara, that Coronado had searched for in the 16th century. Nora Kelly finds a letter from her father written 16 years previously that describes his search for the city and she eventually convinces the Santa Fe Archaeological Institute to fund a search for the lost city in the canyons of Southern Utah. This was a really engrossing story and
