12-29-05 The Relic by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child - Fiction

5 - The mix of science and supernatural in their books is astounding and believable. This is the first of the Pendergast novels and is a wonderful beginning. If you want to avoid this book because you thought the movie (1997 The Relic dir by Peter Hyams) was junk, think again. I don't think the movie was that horrendous, but nothing can compare to the tension and suspense of the book.
