I'm glad Preston and Child left the Mwbun storyline for what it was. A third instalment involving the Mwbun figure would have been tiring - as the second instalment was already beginning to bore. Now, with a renewed theme to guide Pendergast, Smithback and some new characters into a new mystery, Preston and Child have made a great come-back for the series. We're even allowed a few glimpses of the personal life of the mysterious agent Pendergast, of whom we finally learn not his name, but his initials! Some Pendergast family history is also revealed, as the murders this wonderful character is investigating this time are tie in to him on a personal level. All in all a very good thrilling crime book, and I will be looking forward to reading the fourth book in the series. Once I started this book, I could not put it down. Sorry kitties...you will have to fend for yourselves. It caught my attention from cover to cover. Excellent! I can't wait to read the other books. A disappointment, I really had to force myself to get through the last 150 pages. A good initial premise, but suffers from far too many unbelievably stupid characters on one hand, and unbelievably omniscient characters on the other. The only thing about this book that makes any sense at all is to look at is as a metaphor for what happens when science runs amok. Angustiosa, claustrofóbica y terrorífica 0.098 seconds to build listing
