Relic, a Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child thriller that introduces FBI Special Agent Pendergast

Just days before a massive exhibition opens at the popular New York Museum of Natural History, visitors are being savagely murdered in the museum's dark hallways and secret rooms. Autopsies indicate that the killer cannot be human...

But the museum's directors plan to go ahead with a big bash to celebrate the new exhibition, in spite of the murders.

Museum researcher Margo Green must find out who--or what--is doing the killing. But can she do it in time to stop the massacre?

    " This a fictional tale of the discovery of a monster living in the sub-basement of the Natural History Museum in New York City. This was well written, interesting topic, too scary for my taste. But I am known to be a chicken in certain circles, LOL!! "

    " A good read. Plenty of action. A nice conclusion. I learned something of the New York Museum of Natural History, and a couple of new words. "

    " A better than average thriller...but not better than Crichton, as it was advertised to be! "

    " I would give Relic 3.5 stars. It is the first of the Pendergast series. Pendergast is an FBI agent from Louisiana in NYC to investigate a series of unusual deaths taking place in the Museum of Natural History. I really liked Pendergast (thought there could have been more of him) and the other characters. It is at times a page-turning thriller, and at times gets bogged down in too much detail. It is the latter that caused the 3.5 star rating. I enjoyed Pendergast and the story, recommend the book, and will read the next in the series. "

    " The rating is for interesting scientific premise, not story craft. Poorly drawn characters populate the novel. Disappointed, as I'd read Tyrannosaur Canyon and liked it quite a lot. "

    " This is classic horror and So much fun! Pendergast is always way over the top--cast aside your skepticism and enjoy the ride! Although I have enjoyed the whole series, this is still my favorite. "

    " Well I've watched the film & thought I'd see what the book was like. It is better (isn't it always?). I enjoyed it and there is a lovely lead into the next book; which I'll also look to listen to. Good fun... "

    " This is not a very good book. Be warned. However, it can be a very entertaining book. If you're capable of turning your brain off--or, better yet, cackling at the absurdities--it can be a lot of fun. "

    " great suspense book, some graphic violence. The boogie man in the basement that has haunted almost everyone as a child is put in a book. "

    " I read this book a long time ago and absolutely adored it. It's been a while, though. Hmmm... might want to read it again, come to think of it. FAR better than the movie that it was based off of. If you like archaeological thrillers, these two are the best! "
