Booklist

Tyrannosaur Canyon by Douglas Preston - A thriller involving the race to discover the fossilized remains of a T-rex. I was pumped about reading this one since I enjoyed Preston's last solo effort "The Codex." I didn't enjoy this one as much. The whole thing disintegrates into a chase with your typical villians, government agents good and bad, and a reluctant hero. Something tells me Preston and his writing partner, Lincoln Child, have run out of ideas. I haven't found many of their novels involving Agent Pendergast to be very good. I'm hoping they will break from tradition soon and go in a new direction. Their first few books were outstanding but they've lost the edge they used to have.
