I enjoyed this more than Lincoln Child's solo outing, but still less than any of their joint ventures.

This is a great book for experiencing that vicariously. In extreme.
On top of there are moon rocks, dinosaurs, and horses. Quite an adventure

That said, Preston really kept the action moving along at a good clip and and definitely kept me interested from cover to cover.
