Terminal Freeze

Ganz ok, aber schlussendlich doch nur ein "Relikt" Abklatsch.

Read it in two nights. I liked it. Kept my attention.

Not a bad read - could have been more action.

The story grabbed me in the beginning with the arctic setting, the discovery of the ancient animal, the folkore.....was waiting in anticipation for the prehistoric creature to be thawed out of the ice on live television, and then when the beast disappeared so did my interest level.

Awesome book. Kept me on the edge of my seat throughout!

Child has the better solo outings of the Preston/Child writing team. This book is much like other outings, and quite entertaining. Well worth it as a quick read.

However I am thankful he didn't have one of his characters pick up a Preston Child book as he has been known to do in other stories, though there was a slight reference to Relic. That is a habit i have never liked so much.   hide

Not a bad book. But I'm starting to feel like I'm reading the same book over and over again. When I pick up a new non-Pendergast Lincoln Child (or Douglas Preston), I know within 75 pages who's going to live and die, and who's going to be the brilliant-driven-genius-with-an-obsession-that-leads-to-his-demise.

Kind of like a remake of The Thing

Lincoln Child often writes with Douglas Preston and together they have written some outstanding books. While this isn't as good as some, it is a worthwhile story - sci-fi..ish
