The Wheel of Darkness by Preston / Child
I have read all of the Douglas Preston/ Lincoln Child books. Agent Pendergast is without question one of the most exceptional characters in modern fiction: brilliant, quirky, marvelously and endlessly fascinating. It was with great expectation therefore that I picked up a copy of The Wheel of Darkness. I enjoyed it, but felt that it somewhat missed the mark ever so slightly. Pendergast, in this book, seemed a bit artificial, not quite on target in terms of character / behavior; however, Constance Greene (Pendergast's very unusual ward who appears frequently in the other Pendergast novels) was unexpectedly well developed in this book, almost assuming a larger role than Pendergast himself. Additionally, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child's plots are always unique with more twists than a maze and usually keep you on the edge of your seat, but this book took a long time to get moving, with the action really only accelerating during the last 100 or so pages. I rate the book as good, but not great. Incidentally, if you read the Pendergast novels, especially the trilogy, I'd recommend reading them all in the order in which they were writtenRead full review

Book Review
I purchased The Book of the Dead by Douglas Preston/ Lincoln Child when it had come out in paperback. I had never heard of these authors before but was intrigued by the name of the book and the briefing on the back cover. After reading this book I was hooked on Special Agent Pendagrast and all the strange thigs he manages to get into. Their books are well written and although their books are fiction they do remarkable research for each book. When I finished reading The Book of the Dead I went and found all of the books pretaining to Agent Pendagrast and was so impatient that I looked on E-Bay for the Wheels of Darkness as I couldn't wait for the book to come out in paper back. I found the book and the price was right so I ordered it. I have no doubt what so ever that this book will be as entertaing and heart stopping as all the other Agent Pendagrast books. Just the first chapter is unusual and it gets better from that piont.Read full review

Good But Not Great
For some reason this novel by the dynamic duo just didn't sit right with me. It was good , just not as stupendous as their other novels are. If you've read any of my other reviews of Preston and Child's work you'll know that I'm practically a groupie. This outing moved kind of slow although the plot was exceptional....kind of like The Love Boat... meets The Poseidon Adventure... meets Titanic... meets Speed 2...and , oh yeah..meets Jack The Ripper. I was HIGHLY disappointed in the characterization of my beloved, wonderful, and weird Agent Pendergast. He seemed kind of smarmy...maybe that's not quite the right word to use but he wasn't his usual elegant,intense, aloof self. It's almost as if he was too briliant for his own good. Come on guys, you can do better than this. I hope the next novel is... better than this.Read full review

An Exciting Book
This was a great mystery with supernatural undertones. I had to stay up late to find out the ending. Pendergast is an interesting character. A smart detective, an intellectual thinker, and an extremely well read man. Constance, his ward, accompanies him on a ship where trouble afloats with murders. Of course Pendergast has a reason to be aboard this fateful ship. For those of you familiar with Child and Preston, this is a stand alone Pendergast novel. It is fun to see Constance along for the ride too. The book begins in Tibet where a mysterious artifact is missing. Then the plot settles on the ship. There several strange disappearances occur. The ship's crew are good characters, trying to solve the murders themselves and save the ship. The ending is spellbinding and conclusive.

My favorite authors newest book, a first edition ,
I love the Pendegast novels! In the Wheel Constance and Pendegast first find themselves in a buddist temple for spritiual regrowth. They are asked for there help in the recovery of an artifact that takes them to Europe and then to an ocean crossing on a luxary ship. Murders take place and Pendegast finds himself in the toughest spot yet, held mentally and spiritually in jeapodry of his very soul. A must read for Preston and Child fans.
