PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In seven bestselling novels (from Relic to The Ice Limit), Preston and Child have delivered a body of science-based thrillers that for high excitement and robust scientific imaginings rival those of Michael Crichton. Their eighth outing is another richly entertaining tale, about the hunt for a seemingly immortal serial killer at work in New York City. Preston and Child revive characters and settings from earlier novels, often a red flag that authorial imagination is tiring; but in this case, all comes together with zing. There's FBI Special
Customer Reviews
Wonderful
Great characters, exciting story line ... love this one the best so far!
Where to Start
Interesting premise, certainly tense at times. But I have to say, convoluted and page-skipping. New characters introduced late in the story. Started losing interest, just wanted to get to the actionable parts to keep the story moving forward. Way too much educational referencing and data for my mind—I read to be able escape my already cluttered mind, not to suffocate it with pages and pages of info dumps. I’ve read many Preston and Child’s books, this one was a bit too out of reach for me.
