THUNDERHEAD

An archaeological expedition after Coronado's legendary Lost City of Gold moves at the fast pace of Preston and Child's other thrillers, RELIC and RIPTIDE. Desert, canyon and mesa sites set a good stage for the story and create a strong sense of place. Dana Delaney is up to the action and intrigue surrounding the discoveries though her accents occasionally get a bit muddled. Most listeners will simply race along as ancient curses, deception and greed fuel the adventure. R.F.W. © AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/NOV 99]
