Write Up Based On Books Thunderhead (Nora Kelly #0)

This is the first Preston/Child book I read. After reading this, I have devoured every single one of their books since. It crackles with intelligence and suspense. It is extremely addictive and the setting is by far one of the most interesting and memorable, practically a character in and of itself. A must read. Plus they continue characters throughout their books, not all at once, but here and there. Smithback and Nora in particular from this book. I loved it!

This turned out to be a much better non-detour from the Pendergast series than I thought it would be. Nora is a fantastic character, very resourceful, and I can't wait to see how she fits in with the rest of the cast in the series. (Also, Smithback.... ehhhhh but I might be warming to him.)



I really enjoyed this one! Preston/Child is always good and in my opinion, this is one of their best. It's the story of a search for the lost city of gold, Quivara, that Coronado had searched for in the 16th century. Nora Kelly finds a letter from her father written 16 years previously that describes his search for the city and she eventually convinces the Santa Fe Archaeological Institute to fund a search for the lost city in the canyons of Southern Utah. This was a really engrossing story and

This book was exciting from the first to the last page! The authors definitly knew how to keep a reader excited and reading! I read it in one day and absolutly enjoyed it!

This is an interesting story overall, and long. I think it would have appealed to me more in my 20s though. The biggest problem I have with it is that its believability suffers in part because of the story's pacing and partly because of the rather bizarre form of evil presented. A young, untested archaeologist manages in a week's time to be seriously attacked, get funding for potentially the biggest archaeological dig of all time, and line up the professional participants ... and they're off!

There is no question that Preston and Child stick to what has become a pretty successful formula over the last few decades. Brilliant outsider discovers importune information that will change the world. They connect with someone loaded with cash who shares their interests. A motley crew of professionals is assembled. They go on an adventure together where many or most of them die. Someone betrays the group for something higher or greed. They (and other sundry bad guys) are overcome just at the
