What can I say about Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child? They are great story tellers and their books define any category I could put them in. I bought the book because I liked reading their other novels, like "Relic", which "Reliquary" is the sequel to. Their blending of history, fact, modern day life, and some fantasy makes great reading! In this sequel, Margo Green is just getting over the horrific events that happened the previous year as a mysterious Museum Beast ravaged a gala opening. Then two bodies are found, one horribly deformed,locked in a embrace,in the mud off Manhattan. A string of brutal murders begin, but how are they tied to those two bodies? Aided by Detective D'Agosta and FBI Agent Pendergast,from "Relic", Margo must face her fears as well as solve this deepening mystery using all her anthropological skills. Their investigation leads to burnt out warehouses, mysterious laboratories,long forgotten railway tunnels for New York's elite, and the underground lairs of New York City's homeless "mole people" until they come face to face with the answer to the Museum Beast's secret. All in all, a very good read with a few surprises along the way. If you ever thought Anthropology was dull, think again!Read full review
This continues the Relic storyline, and it is best to read Relic first. These two authors somehow do a seamless collaboration, and the plot is compelling and the action superb. I've now read them all; gotta wait for a new one.

Preston and Child are amazing in story telling plus quality. Their books are varied not repetitive plus get even better if read a second time. These are at least equal to Michael Crichton balancing great story and always raising the bar to make their books both enjoyable and educational. Love all and highly endorse.

Preston and Childs 2nd book in the riveting Pendergast series. Reliquary is the follow up to Relic the 1st book. Once you start this series you will not stop and you won't have to. There are at least 8 additional novels just as compelling.

Excellent sequel to the relic. Expands on the Pendergast character very nicely.
