Reliquary Douglas Preston , Lincoln Child Reliquary Douglas Preston , Lincoln Child Hidden deep beneath Manhattan lies a warren of tunnels, sewers, and galleries, mostly forgotten by those who walk the streets above. There lies the ultimate secret of the Museum Beast. When two grotesquely deformed skeletons are found deep in the mud off the Manhattan shoreline, museum curator Margo Green is called in to aid the investigation. Margo must once again team up with police lieutenant D'Agosta and FBI agent Pendergast, as well as the brilliant Dr. Frock, to try and solve the puzzle. The trail soon leads deep underground, where they will face the awakening of a slumbering nightmare.

From Reader Review Reliquary for online ebook Sean Gibson says If reading Relic was the literary equivalent of eating a hot dog, reading Reliquary is like eating a chili cheese dog with extra onions—it’s more of everything that was good (and also heartburn-inducing) about its predecessor. Higher stakes, a more elaborate (and ridiculous) mystery, crazier science/pseudo- science…heck, it even threw in a Scooby-Doo-esque villain (“I’d have gotten away with it, too, if you meddling FBI geniuses with cloying southern accents hadn’t stopped me!”). So, chances are, if you’re in the mood for a chili cheese dog with extra onions and are okay with the downside of planting that baby in your stomach (including the inevitable Ron Burgundy-style “Milk was a bad choice!” exclamations you’ll undoubtedly utter when the plot takes a few face-palming turns and/or our characters feast on a delicious roasted subway rat), you’re going to scarf this down and keep coming back for more. Because Preston and Child know how to craft an addictive thriller. They know how to keep pages turning. They know how to create a world within a world within a world in the storytelling play land that is Manhattan. (Bonus points for this story taking place (and having been written) in the nascent days of the interwebs and cell phone technology, when our sleuths couldn’t rely on handheld devices to give them all the answers they needed, which added a layer of delicious, um, relish to the proceedings (I’m running out of hot dog toppings, people).) I’m looking forward to continuing on with Pendergast and company’s adventures, though I understand from smart people (aka, Steven) that a detour into Thunderhead should be undertaken before opening up The Cabinet of Curiosities… In the meantime, I’m going to go take some antacids. And brush my teeth. And maybe eat an entire mint plant. (Though I’m not sure if any of those things are powerful enough to offset the effects of the mighty chili cheese dog with extra onions and relish. Maybe I’ll just look into a stomach and mouth transplant.) Mike (the Paladin) says I didn't care for this one quite as much as I did the first (Relic). Pendergast is still a good character but the story wanders a little farther into the suspension of disbelief area. There is one point in this book that disappointed me particularly, but to go into what would require a notable spoiler. So, the book is still readable and enjoyable, Pendergast is still a good character (aside from the "Gary Stu" aspects. He is somewhat of a superhero.)...but I still didn't care for it quite as much as its predecessor. The book here is still fun and an "actioner" but it's built on the last story and wobbles a bit not being as well plotted or constructed. Read it to fill in the Pendergast saga, it's a quick read and if you plan to follow the entire "series" (as Andy Griffith said in his Hamlet routine) "you will need it later". I would say don't let it put you off as later parts of the Pendergast saga are much better. Terry says PDF File: Reliquary... 3 Read and Download Ebook Reliquary... Very fun and exicting sequel to Relic. Those who enjoyed the first book would likely enjoy this follow-up, which included several of the original characters. The book is filled with action and science and a great, creepy setting, which is hard to believe is based on reality. I enjoyed very much, and look forward to reading more of the adventures of Pendergast. Thanks to Ginger also, for a great buddy read! Quentin Wallace says [ The whole mad scientist posing as a god to the monsters in the sewer just didn't work to me, even though there at least were good explanations presented for what led to the events. I just thought the first story with the wandering monster in the museum was much better than the more human like monsters living Lisa says Enjoyable sequel to Relic - it has the same fab characters and the same spooky story but this time set in the underground tunnels of New York. Love all the 'science' bits as before and just think it's a fun creepy story. To add to the hilarity I listened to this one on audio and the man talking in a girl's voice made me laugh so much and then when they were denoting a thought rather than something said aloud they used an 'echo' effect - heehee! (I am so childish sometimes!) kartik narayanan says Reliquary is to Relic what Aliens is to Alien. Both are them are great books (and movies) and while the first book (movie) focuses on a single predator in a closed space, the latter focuses on multiple predators in larger space. Reliquary, while being as intense as Relic, also manages to have time for character development. In addition to the gang of four we saw in Relic (Pendergast, D'Agosta, Margo & Bill), we have new characters who also have their own unique stories.The great writing as well as the fast pacing carries over from Relic. In conclusion, Reliquary is a great sequel to Relic. Erin ? *Proud Book Hoarder* says With that tantalizing wrap-up of Relic, I couldn’t wait to revisit the story and characters in Reliquary. I’m glad the authors decided to continue the story of Mbwun right off, although it’s clear after the prologue that much has happened and mutated behind the scenes. You get a return of the familiar characters, but most have changed a little, partly from the events they survived and partly from the developments which befell them as a consequence of those events. Margo has rounded out to be a little more lifelike, Pendergast still amuses (but is gone a lot), and D’Agosta is fortunately back as well (but missing a little something?). PDF File: Reliquary... 4 Read and Download Ebook Reliquary... While this book didn’t capture the intensity of the first, it was ambitious. Child and Preston dug into the fascinating and underexplored theme of the ‘mole people,’ an underground society of human dwellers who adapt to the dark because of how much time they spend in it. A whole other society hidden from ours, many of them the dregs of the former society they belonged to, such as criminals bailing on parole and parents skipping out on the child welfare system. A large group of them, however, were victims of homelessness and had nowhere else to go. The authors conclude this fiction piece by pointing in the afterword to a non-fiction book written about this very subject. The underground tunnel scenes are intense, creepy, but they never touch the atmosphere of the original. The track rabbit eating scene was one of the grossest I can remember reading about. The end has a surprising villain, didn’t see that coming. It’s hard to put my finger on why this book doesn’t work as well as the first one. Still, it’s a good book and a worthy sequel. I’m curious on the third, which likely takes on a brand new plot entirely. Scott says Drug fueled cannabalistic secret underground societies? Mass-affluent revenge driven political coups? Battle of wits between Type A NYPD and brilliant minds of Pendergast and company? You’re god damn right! There was not a single dull moment in this book and enjoyed it considerably more than it’s predecessor. I am so happy to have “lucked” into these authors and this series. If there is the slightest hesitation to read these books, stop. Just do it. Yes, I am only on book 2 but cannot wait to continue them. *petty annoyance - I am far from an evolutionary biologist, however it seems the book was written with thorough research and factual basis which is much appreciated. However, amongst the vivid descriptions and action packed sequences there is gun talk. I am not an extremist in any way, but there is no safety to “switch off” on a glock. A “clip” is only used on belt-fed fire arms. These simple and easy facts to get correct were not. As I said, this is petty and does not take away from the excitement and brilliance of the book, but in the moment, annoyed me and took me out of the tunnels.

Easily the worst Pendergast novelBy ScottI'm one of those tried and true Preston-Child fans. I've been reading their co-authored books since Relic was published in the mid-90's. I absolutely love the Pendergast series and I think Agent Pendergast is one of the absolute best detective characters who has ever been created in popular fiction.Be that as it may, this was not a good book. I don't know what happened to the boys on this one, but they struck out big time. "Jumped the shark" is the only phrase I can think of to describe this book. Pendergast discovers he had a son he didn't know about, and...wait for it!....the boy has an EVIL TWIN. In fact, they grew up in a secret Nazi enclave in South America where the Nazis were carrying out nefarious eugenics experiments on twins, creating a population of slave labor (the "regular" twins) and a population of super smart evil geniuses (the "enhanced" twins).The whole thing was just ridiculous and banal, totally unoriginal and over-the-top in the extreme.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE USS Arizona Relic Now on Display At

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE USS Arizona Relic Now on Display at Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum Rare rusted and oil-stained bulkhead of the legendary USS Arizona takes center stage as Museum reopens HONOLULU — Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum today announced the unveiling of its newest permanent exhibit, A Piercing Blow: The Aerial Attack on the USS Arizona. The relic at the center of the exhibit, towering at nearly twelve feet tall, is a charred section of the ship’s main deck framing on the port side of the ship. Rusted and oil-stained, the surviving salvage features the portholes and framing portion of the galley’s vegetable locker. The Museum has purposefully juxtaposed the USS Arizona exhibit near the two attacking Japanese aircraft it has on display – the Nakajima B5N “Kate” bomber and the Mitsubishi A6M “Zero” – poetically telling the story of the aerial attack on Pearl Harbor that launched America into World War II. “The attack on Pearl Harbor has lived on in television, film and our national memory for years,” said Elissa Lines, Executive Director, Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum. “However, the placement of this section of the USS Arizona, with the attacking aircraft visible through the portals, provides a very emotional connection to what happened on that fateful day nearly 80 years ago, all while you are standing inside a hangar that withstood the attack on this American Battlefield.” Known as “a date which will live in infamy,” December 7, 1941, marked the attack on Pearl Harbor, where 2,403 military and civilians lost their lives. Approximately 1,177 of those lost were killed when a bomb dealt a final blow to the USS Arizona, plunging down five decks into the black powder magazine, igniting the ammunition and powder stores of the forward turrets.
