What a fun thrill ride in this one, filled with lots of action, great characters and a well-researched and interesting storyline.This is the first book from Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child that I absolutely hated. It is so boring and just plods along like it has no place to go. UGH!Even the characters are boring and uninteresting: Nora Kelly, Peter Holyrood, Bill Smithback, Aaron Black, Roscoe Swire, Sloane Goddard and Luigi Bonarotti. There wasn't a pleasant person in the entire group. All they did was bitch and moan about the travel to the Anasazi site of Quivira. I thought all archeologists did was tromp from site to
Hell yes! Thunderhead was an entertaining and thrilling adventure! It was a griping read from the last 1/4 until the end. I could not put this book down!I loved this book because of the setting and subject material. Ive always enjoyed archaeology and the journey to explore hidden places, cultures and religions. It felt very much like reading a Indiana Jones book. It was right on target with that feeling. A group of archaeologists are on an expedition to the caves of Utah to explore a hidden city
Amazing! Preston & Child do it again. This book is soooooo good from page one until the very end. Excitement, suspense, mystery, gore, betrayal, etc. it's all there and there is a lot of it! Also, it is obvious that they put so much research into their books - but the history parts of it are not dry, they just make it more intriguing! Note: This is not a Pendergast novel, but it falls between Reliquary and Cabinet of Curiosities.If you like a great story with great mystery and some scares
Wow, what a book. Truly fascinating and captivating. The story was well layered slowly unearthing bits and pieces (pun intended?). I cant get enough of these authors and looking forward to reading more of their works, highly recommend to pretty much everyone.
'Thunderhead' by authors Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child is an exciting adventure tale. It reminds me of Indiana Jones, but instead of Harrison Ford, we have a female protagonist, Nora Kelly, an assistant professor at The Santa Fe Archaeological Institute. Our intrepid archaeologist, fights peril at ever turn in a suspense laden narrative. Two things I love about this novel: Firstly, is how the authors throw in so many archaeological facts, especially about the Anasazi, an ancient North
This is the first Preston/Child book I read. After reading this, I have devoured every single one of their books since. It crackles with intelligence and suspense. It is extremely addictive and the setting is by far one of the most interesting and memorable, practically a character in and of itself. A must read. Plus they continue characters throughout their books, not all at once, but here and there. Smithback and Nora in particular from this book. I loved it!
