Weigh Up Out Of Books Thunderhead (Nora Kelly #0)

This book was so good! The setting was marvelously illustrated through the crafty prose so as to make the imagery palpable. The cast of characters was also great. This was my third Preston & Child read after Relic and Reliquary, and I would go as far as to say that this was better than the two combined. Very suspenseful and entertaining. I have been left craving another dose of the author duo. Very much looking forward to Cabinet of Curiosities.

Easily my favorite of all the books cowritten by these authors. I remember being absolutely hooked by this book, experiencing the adrenaline rush in real-time, the first time I read it, and I've reread it countless times since then. Perhaps I like it better because it doesn't have FBI Special Agent Pendergast in it (who has become rather unbelievable in the most recent Preston/Child books). As always with these authors' better books, the interwoven archaeological facts and level of detail are

4.25 StarsThis book's writing style is just right for a movie script with its hodgepodge of bizarre characters and fierce adventurous pace.Authors Preston and Child weave a story around modern archeological theories about the Anasazi, a lost tribe of American Indians, and instill it with characters determined to prove their own differing theories on what really happened to their lost city of treasures.The adventure soars as our heroine Nora Kellys expedition treks into the bleak and impassable

Hell yes! Thunderhead was an entertaining and thrilling adventure! It was a griping read from the last 1/4 until the end. I could not put this book down!I loved this book because of the setting and subject material. Ive always enjoyed archaeology and the journey to explore hidden places, cultures and religions. It felt very much like reading a Indiana Jones book. It was right on target with that feeling. A group of archaeologists are on an expedition to the caves of Utah to explore a hidden city

The authors delivered a rousing, suspense thriller in a book that simply, could not be put down. Built upon previous scenes, the momentum of the storyline gained steam as it cunningly, cut it's way through chapter to chapter. It's never too much to expect a fitting ending and that too was delivered in style. All I ask for from any novel is one thing - to be entertained. This book took first prize gloriously.Patraic Kelly, an archaeologist had gone missing sixteen years ago while in search of the

Preston and Child's favorite word is purchase. In this and many of their other novels, characters (and horses) struggle to "get a purchase" on slippery footing or rockface fingerholds. They lose a purchase, they maintain a purchase, they scrabble for purchase. Dozens and dozens of times. Rarely however do they actually purchase something in a retail setting. Their second favorite word is susurrus, and again this pops up numerous times over tens of books. Someone hears "a faint susurrus of wind."

I really enjoyed this one! Preston/Child is always good and in my opinion, this is one of their best. It's the story of a search for the lost city of gold, Quivara, that Coronado had searched for in the 16th century. Nora Kelly finds a letter from her father written 16 years previously that describes his search for the city and she eventually convinces the Santa Fe Archaeological Institute to fund a search for the lost city in the canyons of Southern Utah. This was a really engrossing story and
