Gideon's Corpse
Gideon's Corpse | Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child
3 posts | 16 read | 3 to read
A top nuclear scientist goes mad and takes an innocent family hostage at gunpoint, killing one and causing a massive standoff. A plume of radiation above New York City leads to a warehouse where, it seems, a powerful nuclear bomb was assembled just hours before. Sifting through the evidence, authorities determine that the unthinkable is about to happen: in ten days, a major American city will be vaporized by a terrorist attack. Ten days. And Gideon Crew, tracking the mysterious terrorist cell from the suburbs of New York to the mountains of New Mexico, learns the end may be something worse--far worse--than mere Armageddon.

Book #2 in the Gideon Crew series. This was a very entertaining read. Gideon is very much himself, aligned with a mostly by-the-book FBI agent against a terrorist plot. Gideon goes through a lot & truly finds himself and what makes him happy. My criticism: the female characters in this series are lacking - no depth of character, sleeping with him from the get-go like a Bond Girl that‘s not in on the plan. I am however looking forward to book #3.

I love the character of Gideon and reading about his development. These are swashbuckling reads and I really enjoy them. They are easy reads I will be continuing with this series

Not sure if this second book is way cheesier than the first book because of the writing or the new narrator (probably both). Either way, there was a lot of cheese and eye rolling through out the book.

However, I'll persevere through the next one because I've heard the fourth book is really good and I am one of those people who read books in order (and also refuses to use the bathroom in the middle of a movie for fear of missing something.)
