Very exciting story. Interesting characters, extraordinary problem solving, intriguing locations and situations. I highly recommend this book.

The concept was intriguing, and it should have been an excellent read. I found it to be merely mediocre. I was somewhat disappointed because I expected better from Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child.

Compelling and riddled with subplots, treachery and betrayal surrounding the entombed meteorite found on a desolate islad of the coast of southern Chile. Very exciting.

I love scientific thrillers and any book by Preston and Child contains exciting, plausible probabilities. A meteorite, landing in Chile is the object of desire by a billionaire who will spend no expense to retrieve it. The Chilean government has other plans, however. Characterization is strong and action is non-stop. Highly recommended!

Started off slow, but it kept me interested throughout. Three quarters of the way through there was an awesome twist, and the ending was better than I expected. If you like Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child books, this one is a must. Realistic fiction at its best.

this was a great book...since reading this i have ordered 3 more

Engrossing, although not as good as the Pendergast novels by these authors.

I liked this book. It was full of greed, treachery and betrayal.

Another great outing of the authors of Relic etc.; Pure action in the most desolate regions of the southern ocean and antartica. A secret salvage operation turns into a battle for life when faced with a vengence seeking Chilean Navy Commander.

Thrills and chills - wonderful book!

This one started too slow for me and I was too impatient to wait for the good stuff.

Another excellent book from Preston and Child!

Very intersting and different out look for a Sci Fi novel. I read more fantasy than I do Sci/Fi but this was for sure one of the better Sci/Fi books I have read lately.

This is an excellent book, I couldn't put it down.

I enjoyed this book very much. Fast paced. Reminds me of Clive Cussler books.

The adventure begins with the discovery of a mysterious meteorite and will not end until a wealthy industrialist has it for his own. Another great Preston & Child book, however it's a bit on the slow side for my taste. If you enjoy maritime and a bit of science, this might be great for you.

Jeffrey Archer, the internationally bestselling author of Honor Among Thieves, As The Crow Flies, and Kane & Abel, now serves up this inventive new collection of a dozen short stories -- with a twist. Cleverly styled, with richly drawn characters and ingeniously plotted story lines, each of the twelve pieces ends with a delightfully unexpected turn of events.

An imprisoned man is certain that his supposed murder victim is very much alive....A female driver is pursued relentlessly by a menacing figure in another vehicle....A young artist gets the biggest break of her career....A restless beauty manages the perfect birthday celebration....An escaped Iraqi on Saddam Hussein's death list pays an involuntary visit to his homeland. In each tale, human beings are given an opportunity to seize, a crucial problem to solve, or a danger to avoid. How will they react? How would you? Capping off the collection are two additional rewards. In the final story, Archer offers a choice of four endings. And buried in each story is another diversion -- a red herring which Archer challenges his readers to uncover. Twelve is a perfect score -- good luck,
