"Great read, kept me up until 2 AM. Another in a line of great books by two of my favorite writers. I found myself drawn into this book from page one, and I could not put it down until the last page."

"I always wait for the weekend to start a new Preston & Child because it's so hard to go to work after staying up to 3 AM to finish the book. These two guys do that for me EVERY time. I can't wait for their next effort. Keep up the excellent work guys!"

"These guys are the hottest authors for the past couple of years. Their blend of technology with an understanding of the past and a novel view of humans and their desires is riveting. The suspense was fantastic and the characters so real. I could picture every scene. They have to write much faster."

"I have been a fan of this incredible duo since their first book came out. Their writing is unusually superb, a thriller ride from the first page to the last. I can highly recommend their work to anyone who is looking for scientific suspense, surrounded by myths and superstition. I simply can not wait for their next book to come out."
