The Wheel of Darkness by Douglas Preston
My review
rating: 3 of 5 stars
The perfect airplane time passer. It’s light reading with heavy suspense. Each chapter switches focus to keep you hooked. This book is plot-driven and not really concerned with realistic character development. The whole thing is much easier to get through if you check you disbelief at the door. Nonetheless, I couldn’t put it down, though I’m slightly embarrassed to say so.
Wow, that cover is ridiculous.
When you say “ridiculous,” I assume you mean “totally awesome and rad.” : )
But seriously, those writers are very rich men now. It can’t be a bad life.
