The Book of the Dead: An Agent Pendergast Novel | Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child
14 posts | 44 read | 15 to read
The final battle between good and evil. Only one will survive... The New York Museum of Natural History receives their stolen gem collection back...ground down to dust. Diogenes, the psychotic killer who stole them in DANCE OF DEATH, is throwing down the gauntlet to both the city and to his brother, FBI Agent Pendergast, who is currently incarcerated in a maximum security prison. To quell the PR nightmare of the gem fiasco, the museum decides to reopen the Tomb of Senef. An astounding Egyptian temple, it was a popular museum exhibit until the 1930s, when it was quietly closed. But when the tomb is unsealed in preparation for its gala reopening, the killings - and whispers of an ancient curse - begin again. And the catastrophic opening itself sets the stage for the final battle between the two brothers: an epic clash from which only one will emerge alive.

This is the 7th Pendergast book and the conclusion of the Diogenes trilogy. It is very good and very fast paced. Also Constance is a bad ass 🧡

Visit to the San Antonio Museum of Art today and felt compelled to take a photo of one of the earliest “books.”

I'm loving this series, but I don't understand why anyone is still choosing to work at the museum (especially at night). 😒

Skyrimir I love these books and will forever be disappointed by the movie that was made that completely got rid of Pendergast. 4y
Traci1 @Skyrimir it has been a long time since I'd seen it, and I couldn't remember who played Pendergast, so I looked it up. Then I realized why I couldn't remember, cause they left him out, which was nuts. 4y

Book #7 in the agent Pendergast series. This finished a trilogy and the reader gets to learn a lot about the private Pendergast in this one. I enjoyed this and a lot of loose ends were tied up quite nicely (although not all...).

This was a pretty good book that filled a slot of #SpooktoberBingo this month for containing Dead in the title. I really enjoyed this book and would have enjoyed it more if I had read more Pendergast novels first. But it was excellent! Except the end. I cant handle these cliche endings. If one more book ends with some variation of I love you, I'm pregnant, or it was all a dream, I might lose it

Spatter. Blood spatter. This is why, as a Criminal Justice major and hardcore true crime enthusiast, I cant just enjoy thrillers. Its the little things that bother me lol

I wish I had known this was part of a series before diving in, but still, its decent. Just enough backstory to let you dive in. Reading it for #SpooktoberBingo and I dont have many others that could take its place

Mollyanna It is part of a wonderful series. Relic, the first book, is very spooky/creepy and would be a great October read. 6y
jessinikkip Thanks, @Mollyanna ! Ill see if the library has a copy. Thanks to an illness I dont have any extra book money this month to buy them, but Ill check them out if the livrary has them 6y
Mollyanna I would definitely recommend the series. I‘m sure the library will have them. Hope you feel better! 6y

MaleficentBookDragon Relic is one of my favorite books! It is an almost perfect creature feature. Let me know if the library does not have a copy and I'll send you one. 6y
jessinikkip Thanks, @MaleficentBookDragon !! I will be going to the library on my next day off to see :) 6y

Have been off for a while because I finally moved to Egypt. I found a flat and now I'm trying to set up a cozy reading area in my huge living room. After two stressful weeks I can now enjoy reading again.
By the way I'm living around the corner of Cairo's most famous book store for used books, Al-Maadi Used Books. The owner already says "Hi" every time I'm passing by. I will post some photos of it later on.

Why is it, whenever I happen to pick up a book, it's the middle book of a series?

Bookzombie I started this series with book 5 and then went back. The only thing I will say about book 7 is that it's the second book in that what is basically a trilogy within the series. I love this series! 8y
Donna_sBookMinute I've done that too with a different author. Just read them out of sequence. Still have one more to go. Oh well . . . 😔 8y
