	John Orr interviews Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
		Preston and Child, whose thrillers have included ''Relic,'' ''The Cabinet of Curiosities'' and ''Still Life with Crows,'' wrote their last five books together by phone and e-mail.
		The novel is a terrific thrill ride that dips into such arcana as ancient means of calling forth the devil, problems the Chinese may be having developing intercontinental ballistic missiles, the value of opera as opposed to non-vocal classical music and the formulas used by Antonio Stradivari for the varnish of his violins.
		Preston and Child say their writing technique is still evolving, even after a decade of working together.

		Douglas Preston, who often writes with Lincoln Child, obviously wanted to write about the difficulty of surviving in the Honduran rain forest and also wanted to pontificate about why parents need to let children live their own lives.
		Douglas Preston's "The Codex" is a good read and it kept me going...until the end.
		Preston also shows his ignorance of deep-jungle travel, with few details of the treacherous nature of tropical hellholes.

		The adventure is marginally higher than the suspense in Preston and Child's sturdy new tale of scientific derring-do, concerning a search for Quivira, the legendary Anasazi Indian City of Gold.
		All Preston and Child books are great but this is by far the best.Having an intense interest in Anasazi archaeology and a love for this area of the four corners the story took me right along with the expedition!
		Preston and Child are very talented in describing areas that few people have seen; the hidden valleys and mesas in Thunderhead, the polar ice cap in The Ice Limit, New York's underground in The Relic, and underwater tunnels in Riptide.

		Regular Preston & Child readers will know that Diogenes, the yang to Pendergast's ying, has pledged to pull off a perfect and terrible crime and faked his death years earlier in order to be free to prepare for it.
		It is undeniable however, that in the character of Diogenes Preston & Child have come up with one of their weakest villains yet, despite having so much time to work on both him and his machinations.
		It must be hoped however, that for their next effort they try a little harder and rely less readers' obvious affection for the characters they have created.
