	Powell's Books - Brimstone by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
		As their admirers know, one reason Preston and Child thrillers work is because most feature arguably the most charismatic detective in contemporary fiction: FBI Special Agent Aloysius Pendergast, a wealthy, refined yet ruthless descendant of Holmes who's very much his own character.
		In time Agent Pendergast ties Fosco into the killings, as well as a plot to equip the Chinese with devastating weapons and a parallel plot to recover a legendary Stradivarius violin.
		Pendergast, as well as other Preston and Child semiregulars, notably rough-hewn former NYPD cop Vincent D'Agosta, Watson to Pendergast's Sherlock, tread nearly every page of this vastly imagined, relentlessly enjoyable thriller.

		Pendergast, whom the writers based on Sherlock Holmes, is a bit of an enigma.
		I don't know what it is, although an FBI field office agent in "Still Life With Crows" revealed that it begins with "Al." The same agent also said he couldn't begin to even attempt to pronounce it.
		While Aloysius, Alphonse, Alain, or Alistair are obvious possibilities, I have a pet theory.

		Pendergast is a fictional character in various novels, and in those novels, he is an FBI agent.
		For example, an article I edited said that Dr. Aloysius X. Pendergast is a special agent with the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation.
		The first line needs to say he is a fictional character.

		Several of their books include a character who is so stunningly captivating that I had to choose him as my username - special FBI agent Aloysius X.L. Pendergast.
		One of their books (with Pendergast) "Still Life with Crows", has you so enthralled literally down to the last sentence - the last word.
		Their first book was "Relic", which was a pretty crappy movie that never came close to doing justice to the book.

		Note to all those who don't read Preston/Child books: Special Agent Pendergast and Vincent D'Agosta are frequently appearing characters in several books, including Relic (which was made into a movie that squished Pendergast and D'Agosta into one character), Reliquary, and Brimstone.
		Pendergast smiled and laid a hand on his arm-- a strangely affectionate gesture from a man who hardly ever showed affection.
		The only thing is that even though I'm happy that Pendergast is finally showing some interest in someone...

	Dance of Death
		For the first time we see Agent Pendergast with his back against the wall as his brother, Diogenes, takes sibling rivalry to the extreme, murdering Pendergast's friends and loved ones one by one.
		As we know, Pendergast is a master of disguise, but so is his brother, and we are constantly guessing who is disguised as who throughout the book as well.
		The whole book takes on a James Bond vs. James Bond feel as Pendergast races to save the lives of his friends before Diogenes can get to them first.

	Bookreporter.com - THE CABINET OF CURIOSITIES by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
		The most welcome return, however, is that of the enigmatic Special Agent Pendergast, whose appearances in RELIC and RELIQUARY made those books and add immeasurably to this one.
		THE CABINET OF CURIOSITIES reveals much --- but by no means all --- about Pendergast's background, and he continues, even at the conclusion, to be one of the more interesting contemporary characters in adventure fiction.
		The ultimate marvel in THE CABINET OF CURIOSITIES, however, is that Preston and Child continue to seamlessly weave tales that are at once compelling, spellbinding and addicting.

	Word Bomb: The Cabinet of Curiosities
		FBI Special Agent Pendergast and the opportunistic journalist Smithback are back in The Cabinet of Curiosities, the new book by best-selling writers Preston and Child.
		It also provides a fun, quick read without being completely brain-dead and silly; this book requires some thought to follow Pendergast's investigative procedures (ranging from astral travel to bribing library patrons), as well as to try and guess who is who and what is what.
		All in all, The Cabinet of Curiosities succeeds on many levels: it shows what frustrates real academics about the bureaucracy of museums and other public establishments, while also showing a bit about why the many officials are so concerned about funding.

	Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child Still Life With Crows Reviewed by Rick Kleffel
		Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child first came into my radar with 'Relic', a monster-in-the-museum story that featured FBI Agent Pendergast, a sort of southern gentleman gene splice of Sherlock Holmes and Agent Mulder.
		Preston and Child even offer a sly jab at their own writing, since Corrie is reading a cheesy thriller titled 'Beyond the Ice Limit', which of course bears no resemblance to their novel 'The Ice Limit'.
		Give Lincoln and Child credit for doing something sort of different here, and for efficiently escalating the terror.

	Brimstone (Pendergast, book 5) by Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston
		The protagonist of BRIMSTONE, Agent Pendergast, was introduced in the New York Times bestseller The Relic (Tor, 1996), which sold over 910,000 paperback copies and was the basis for the Paramount movie.
		His body temperature is grotesquely high; he is discovered in a room barricaded from the inside; the smell of brimstone is everywhere...and the unmistakable imprint of a claw is burned into the wall.
		As more bodies are discovered--their only connection the bizarre but identical manner of death--the world begins to wonder if the Devil has, in fact, come to collect his due.
