After surviving a murderous ordeal in Costa Rica's jungles, Tom and Sally Broadbent return home, seeking peace and quiet in the arid canyons of New Mexico. Unfortunately, they will find unimaginable horror and trouble in the very place they sought solace...The greatest scientific discovery of all time will lead a gifted, murderous scientist, a mysterious CIA agent turned monastery monk, a renegade federal agent, and a shadowy agency with a deadly mission to the same unearthly path: Tyrannosaur canyon.
I loathe the idea of giving a Douglas Preston book only two stars, since he and his frequent writing partner Lincoln Child have never failed me before. Tyrannosaur Canyon, however, was just so difficult to get into. Nothing propelled me forward the way the Preston/Child books did. There wasn't a sense of mystery, and the big revelation towards the end is really ho-hum.
After also being less than thrilled with Preston's The Codex, I'd worry that he isn't worth reading on his own, but his newest book, Blasphemy, is everything it should be.
