Preston and Child present: The Rogues Gallery

Just in case this site makes it seem like the Preston - Child books only get good reviews - well, it ain't so, folks!

For your amusement and/or righteous indignation, Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston will be combing through their files and assembling some of their favorite stinkeroos. As they become available, this page will lead off with new favorites, complete with comments by the authors.

We keep looking for bad press, but, folks, it's awful hard to come by! In desperation, we turned to amazon.com, where we managed to find a smattering of sour comments. We've posted a few of the anonymous ones below. Click on the respective teaser to read the whole text.

 




On Relic
Relic "Not good science? Why, before writing RELIC, we did extensive scientific research on the worldwide problem of brain-eating monsters infesting museums. What more could you want?" [more]


On the Monster of Florence
The Monster of Florence.jpg "And now for a review from the venerable Times of London, which we have reproduced here almost in full for your delectation." [more]


On Blasphemy
blasphemy "I don’t know how many times I told Doug he would burn for writing that book! But did he listen? No." [more]


On Dance of Death
Dance of Death "A critic,” Christopher Morley wrote, “is a gong at a railroad crossing clanging loudly and vainly as the train goes by." [more]


On Brimstone
Brimstone "I am truly devastastated that the gentleman finds my sophististication annoying." [more]


On Riptide
Riptide "But I like my perfectly marbled filet mignon overdone. What's wrong with you?" [more]
