Scott Sowers's superb use of accents and inflections allows this archaeological thriller, a sort of Mexican JURASSIC PARK, to flow smoothly and blend a diverse collection of details: the Chicxulub impact, the 1972 Apollo moon landing, an evil British paleontologist, an ex-CIA cryptologist now a Benedictine monk, a crusty prospector, a horse vet, and computers that run on Stutterlogic. Sowers's narration of a dry and ironic pathologist talking to a local policeman as if she were talking to an idiot is masterful. The descriptions of T. rex, which begin each new section, are compelling and awe-inspiring.
From Booklist
Tom Broadbent and Sally Colorado, introduced in The Codex (2004), Preston's first book without writing partner Lincoln Childs, reprise some of their heroics in this thriller, which abandons the Honduran jungles for hot, sandy New Mexico. Upon investigating what sounds like shots on a remote mesa, Broadbent discovers a dying prospector, who gives him notebook and extracts a promise: "Bring this to my daughter." Broadbent takes his pledge to heart, keeping the book a secret from investigating authorities while trying to decode the contents and identify its writer. Of course, the book isn't some simple memento: it maps an amazing scientific find that puts Broadbent and Sally (now his wife) at risk from a psychopathic killer whose employer has no idea he's not the only interested party. Preston smothers his cast under a blanket of action and contrivance, and his perfectly delicious scientific premise gets less than its due. Give him lots of credit, however, for thrills. He can write gripping escape scenes and bloody confrontations with the best of them.
