Article Based On Books Reliquary (Pendergast #2)

If reading Relic was the literary equivalent of eating a hot dog, reading Reliquary is like eating a chili cheese dog with extra onionsits more of everything that was good (and also heartburn-inducing) about its predecessor. Higher stakes, a more elaborate (and ridiculous) mystery, crazier science/pseudo-scienceheck, it even threw in a Scooby-Doo-esque villain (Id have gotten away with it, too, if you meddling FBI geniuses with cloying southern accents hadnt stopped me!). So, chances are, if you

Where does one begin once you have completed a trek into the deadest levels below NY city. So Ill just say; I found the story mysterious, thrilling and with science fiction. I was surprised as to the leader of the subterranean monsters. I was also left with a deep sense of melancholy when thinking of what lies ahead for Pendergast when the last word was read.

3.5 starsDouglas Preston & Lincoln Child have created one of my favorite literary characters Pendergast. I suspect the reason I didnt enjoy Reliquary more is because Pendergast didnt put in an appearance until over 100 pages into the book and didnt play a very major role. This was still a very entertaining read and the details of the homeless living below ground in New York City was fascinating.

Intense. I didn't guess the twist. I love Hayward and I really hope she comes back, Margo needs lady friends if this is the way this series is gonna go. And I'm sensing a Smithback/D'Agosta bromance and loving it.

I didn't care for this one quite as much as I did the first (Relic). Pendergast is still a good character but the story wanders a little farther into the suspension of disbelief area.There is one point in this book that disappointed me particularly, but to go into what would require a notable spoiler. So, the book is still readable and enjoyable, Pendergast is still a good character (aside from the "Gary Stu" aspects. He is somewhat of a superhero.)...but I still didn't care for it quite as much

A great sequel to the first of the Pendergast series, Reliquary is an absorbing, page-turner that is better than its predecessor.Seeing updates of this book popping up in my feed recently was a good reminder that I've been intending to continue with this series. Reliquary is the sequel to Relic with the same cast of main characters who survived the horrors at the Museum of Natural History, after a time-gap of about eighteen months. I find that it is not easy writing reviews for thriller novels.

With that tantalizing wrap-up of Relic, I couldnt wait to revisit the story and characters in Reliquary. Im glad the authors decided to continue the story of Mbwun right off, although its clear after the prologue that much has happened and mutated behind the scenes.You get a return of the familiar characters, but most have changed a little, partly from the events they survived and partly from the developments which befell them as a consequence of those events. Margo has rounded out to be a
