Summary: It's not nice to fool mother nature...
Comment: Bloodshot eyes, lack of sleep, a restless itching to know what's going to happen.
Symptoms of the doomsday virus? No, just a book that you will not want to put down.
The authors of Relic have released yet another wonderful book. From the arrival of
Guy Carson at the super-secret Mount Dragon research facility to the edge-of-your-seat
conclusion (I'm not going to tell) you will find yourself immersed in the story, rooting
for the heroes and fearing for mankind. This is a wonderful read that also contains
a little warning that it's not nice to fool with mother nature...

Summary: Good page-turner.
Comment: The biggest problem facing readers of popular fiction is that they can read faster than Clancy, Crichton, et al, can write. So they must turn to the second-team writers to fill in the gaps.
After reading this book, I'd say Preston and Child are adequate second-teamers. The story is a good techno-thriller and the characterization isn't bad. I plan to give other Preston/Child novels a try.
[For what it's worth, here's one thought that has occurred to me many times, and again on reading this book; is it possible to write a novel where the protagonist is male, and his co-worker or partner or person he runs into in the course of the story is female -- but she's NOT a babe? In other words, if I were to write a decent story, but I made the protagonist's partner a not-so-attractive woman with whom he doesn't develop a relationship -- would the story get published? Just wondering. The female partner in Mount Dragon is indeed a babe, so we don't find out the answer to my question here].

Summary: another winning thriller from the Preston-Child engine
Comment: Just finished Mount Dragon (now into Thunderhead) and could not put it down.
These guys are good, I mean really good. They know how to create fully realized characters, in a believable setting, and then let all hell break loose.
Ever since I read Relic, I have been devouring their other stuff.
