We went to Costco today and we picked up The Book of the Dead by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. Preston is one of my favorite authors I very much enjoy reading. Past works of his I have read include: Relic also a good movie :] Reliquary Sequel to Relic * Brimstone I really like this book because its very intriguing and complex in the areas of science and deduction. I was unawares that Brimstone, Dance of Death and The Book of the Dead make up the "Diogenes Trilogy". I will have to go back and read part 2 when I get a chance.
Preston's works are full of vivid details and imagery which I find intoxicating. I really like the character of Pendergast because of his vast knowledge and intellect, along with the dichotomy of his evil brother. I am currently in chapter 3, but I hope to make short work of this novel over the next few days after work. I will post my thoughts on the piece with any questions I may have after I have completed reading it. But so far, I'd highly recommend it.
