Column Epithetical Books Relic (Pendergast #1)

3.5 stars.Relic marks a promising start in my attempt to read more crimes/mysteries/thrillers aside from Dan Browns Robert Langdon books. This novel has all the necessary ingredients to satisfy the requirements of a page-turning thriller. Set in the massive New York Museum of Natural History, the element of horror around the gruesome and brutal killings has just the right atmospheric tone to make the narrative creepy enough without being too cheesy. The story started with two separate Prologues

Relic is a perfect example of the vast sea of things that the human mind doesn't know, and of fear and panic over a monster unseen. Gripping, violent and frightening, this book is disturbing and unsettling but very well-written.

Re-read for the second time. I had forgotten how much action there was in this book as I hadn't read it since its first publication in 1995, when I was introduced to Agent Pendergast. The first part of the book starts out a little slow as it provides the back drop for the story and then the last half of the story the action begins. What better way to spend the day at a museum without a care in the world until you find out there is a creature loose in the place and no one knows where it could be

3.5 stars rounded up because I liked the characters.Well... I started this in 2016, so it counts! Bahahaha. Slammed the last 40% last night when I got home (most of it) and finished the Epilogue this morning. Woof. Talk about action and pacing... and that revelation in the last few pages! Yikes! Starting this, I felt like I was reading a Jurassic Park knockoff. Not in a bad way, but it was all super-sciencey and talked about a prehistoric creature from the Amazon. The museum setting was

RELIC is the book that launched the brilliant Agent Pendergast series. As with all Preston/Child books, this one offers plenty of science, adventure, and mystery. The Pendergast series is a testament to genuine genius on the part of these two amazing authors.

Whew! I just finished Relic and it was mind blowing. The pacing and atmosphere make this an intense read like nothing else. The story is simple & straightforward - in the words of Hudson (Aliens), its a bug hunt. But what a bug hunt. I am still getting over it.I have seen the movie before and it is quite forgettable. The book is way better - in terms of characterization, the dialogues as well as the sense of creeping dread one gets as the book progresses.In conclusion, it is a great read. Go

Hang the f**k on... people have been telling me to read the Pendergast series but NOBODY told me it started with this book-- clearly the basis for one of the most awesome/awful monster films of the 90s!!!! I didn't even know it was a book. I feel tragically misinformed.Come on now, you SHOULD have led with this ... nobody could say no to a monster in a museum.
