This one wasn't quite as good as other volumes of the series.

What on the earth just happened! I thought I was reading fiction, based if not on true reality, at least using the strange and bizarre forms of evolution that we can sometimes glimpse in the world around us …. Until this novel.

The writers managed to jump out of a 100 storied building & imploded into a mess of fantasy, sci-fi, and and and …. Now, sitting in the shaky ruins of what I thought was going to be an epic adventure with Pendergast, Coldmoon, and begrudgingly Constance (aka… sociopath with a passionate love-affair with her stiletto) I am at a lost as to what Preston & Child were trying to accomplish with this novel.

Well, all good things come to and end and it’s my time to leave this series, unfinished & unread. If, another Pendergast novel is forthcoming I’ll now have to wait for a trusted friend to read it first… I (like Coldwater) am too traumatised.

So, this one was a little long for me. Seemed like the plot drug out a little more than necessary this time. I'm curious to see where this cliffhanger takes us though.
