Thunderhead

Archaeologist Nora Kelly is adrift in her career and her personal life when a violent, inexplicable incident leaves her in possession of a mysterious letter. Written by her father, who vanished sixteen years ago in the remote desert, the letter reveals the location of a legendary site hidden in the red rock canyon country of southern Utah: Quivira, the Anasazi Indians' wondrous lost city of gold.--BOOK JACKET. "Convinced that her father truly had found Quivira, Nora puts together an expedition and takes a team up Lake Powell to the mouth of Serpentine Canyon. In the stark labyrinth of canyons and slickrock desert she will find the answer to both her greatest hopes and her deepest nightmare. For hidden in the shadows of the sunbaked cliffs are untold treasures, the solution to the greatest riddle of American archaeology - and implacable, suffocating death."--BOOK JACKET.

Narrator is GREAT with these awesome authors!

Whatever other reviewers say, Scott Brick is PERFECT to narrate suspenseful audiobooks. Our family got hooked on Audible and audio books years ago just because of Scott Brick's narration of another author's book - and we go out of our way to find books which are narrated by Scott Brick. He is among our favorite narrators - and to have such a great book narrated by him is THE BEST!
And - as for the book, having listened to or read so many of this duo's books, I believe that Thunderhead is just about the best book they have written. The characters were believable (if sometimes a little predictable). The story was suspenseful, intriguing, and very original. I would think up errands and stay in my car after arriving home just to listen to the next part of the story. Great book!

Great Story - Semi-Annoying Narration

As usual, an xlnt story from Preston & Child. I think I'm burning out on Scott Brick though, between all the Clive Cussler and Preston/Child books I've listened to.. I appreciate Mr. Bricks talent but it's too much after awhile. I found it especially annoying in this listen. His sing song technique distracted me from the story throughout the entire listen resulting in a lot more rewinding. The story motivated me to persevere and I'm glad I did.

Red dirt indulgence

I love all things Southwest, and spent 3 years working at the South Rim in GCNP to have a base to explore this beautiful country. Between Hillerman and the mysterious disappearance of Everett Ruess, I have long been fascinated by the beauty and the mythology and the lost cultures of the Grand Circle. This book explores so many cracks and crevaces it really packs a Wow! I am sorry I read it out of publication order because I am an obsessed Pendergast lover, so it was bittersweet to revisit past characters who aren't with the reader any longer. I can't say enough good things about it ...I can taste the grit of the desert in my teeth.

Great Book!!!!!!!!

This one of many Preston, and Preston & Child book that I have read. This is perhaps the best of the best.

My favorite authors

I love all books by these authors but this one is my favorite. I like how it incorporates real history with fiction. The story is adventurous and suspenseful. The characters are rich with a great storyline. The speaker was good but sometimes when a character was speaking, especially a women, he would whisper and it would be hard to hear. Overall loved it.
