I highly recommend this book and all the others by these two authors. Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child are the NY Times bestselling co-authors of a string of bestselling action adventure and thriller novels, including the Agent. While it would be a good idea to read the "Diogenes" series in order, nevertheless this volume can stand alone. The narrative pulls the reader through the book in such a way that one hopes the story could go on forever. There are other sub-plots all seamlessly woven into the story. Pendergast also needs to re-capture the respect of his ward Constance Greene whose mind has been poisoned by Diogenes. Pendergast manages to escape and return to the NY Museum of Natural History, where an Egyptian exhibit is being opened, so that he can thwart Diogenes evil scheme to discredit the museum and kill lots of people in the process. What a ride!Īs this story opens FBI Agent Pendergast is in prison for a crime he did not commit, framed by his brother Diogenes. 1 Also, it is the third and final installment to the trilogy concentrating on Pendergast and his relationship with Lieutenant Vincent D'Agosta in their pursuit to. This is the seventh book in the Special Agent Pendergast series.
This volume is the last in the "Diogenes Trilogy", Diogenes being Pendergast's evil brother. The Book of the Dead is a novel by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child published on July 1, 2007, by Warner Books. I don't usually read books in this genre but I was grabbed by the first one I picked up, "Still Life with Crows" and have read all of them since. The "Pendergast" series by Preston and Child is one of my so-called guilty pleasures.
