Gideon's Corpse

By: Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child

Narrated by: David W. Collins

A top nuclear scientist goes mad and takes an innocent family hostage at gunpoint, killing one and causing a massive standoff.

A plume of radiation above New York City leads to a warehouse where, it seems, a powerful nuclear bomb was assembled just hours before.

Sifting through the evidence, authorities determine that the unthinkable is about to happen: in ten days, a major American city will be vaporized by a terrorist attack.

Ten days. And Gideon Crew, tracking the mysterious terrorist cell from the suburbs of New York to the mountains of New Mexico, learns the end may be something worse--far worse--than mere

excellent read

I love the Pendergast series and was a bit apprehensive about how good a new series is going to be. All I can say is that I can't wait until thy release the next Gideon story. This was full of action, kept me in suspense and I didn't have the end figured out half way through the book. Another great read by these two authors!

EXCELLENT! !!! EXCELLENT! !!

Preston & Child never fail to keep you on the edge of your seat with each thriller. EXCELLENT!

Another thriller from Preston & Child!

Though some parts of the story were a bit far fetched, the story kept you going and made you want more. It waa action packed frim beginning to end.

Thriller brain candy.

Another Preston thriller of the quality he usually turns out. Laughed out loud at the absurdities during the chase scene. Enjoyable read.

Creative story line!

Clever story of taking over the world via epidemic; except you don't know that until nearly the end of the book. Painful to learn of Gideon's prognosis, heartbreaking for him with the love interest too.

It's okay.....

The story is just okay. The narrator is not great, but is tolerable. He's just a little monotone.

Story continues to build!

This is the 2nd I've read with these characters and the story just keeps getting better. Love the concept! This is truly a "page turner"!

Better than the first one
