Product Description

Product Description
Hidden deep beneath Manhattan lies a warren of tunnels, sewers, and galleries, mostly forgotten by those who walk the streets above. There lies the ultimate secret of the Museum Beat. When two grotesquely deformed skeletons are found deep in the mud off the Manhattan shoreline, museum curator Margo Green is called in to aid the investigation. Margo must once again team up with police lieutenant D'Agosta and FBI agent Pendergast, as well as the brilliant Dr. Frock, to try and solve the puzzle. The trail soon leads deep underground, where they will face the awakening of a slumbering nightmare.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book, 11 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This is a great book, and you will have a really good time reading it, but the first part (The relic) is much better than this one. It's difficult to do a book better than the first one. I loved the book, and if you've read the first one and you liked it, you should try this.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it and am eagerly waiting for the next one!, 16 Sep 1998
By A Customer
Although the new book did not surpass Relic (what could beat a background of the American Museum of Natural History?!), I found this book to be extremely interesting and full of suspense. Having grown up in NYC, I found the whole concept of the Mole people and the Wrinklers to be fascinating as well as horrifying. At the authors' suggestion I have gone ahead and read 'The Mole People' which was an incredibly enlightening book. In their books, Preston and Child have created some of the most likeable characters I've ever encountered (my favorite of course being Pendergast!). I hope they bring them back very soon! Anyone wanting to learn more about the American Museum of Natural History should go ahead and read Mr. Preston's 'Dinosaurs In The Attic'. I have and it's a non-fiction great read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Much better than the first one, 3 Oct 2006
By avidreader (Edinburgh, Lothian United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reliquary (special edition) (Mass Market Paperback)
Other reviewers have suggested that the first of these two books was better - but I have to disagree. MBwun (is that Museum Beast One?) was reasonably entertaining, but it read too much as a written for television kind of thing. This one was I thought better constructed, the puzzles that had to be solved were more interesting - and the subterranean high jinks more entertaining. That said, I'm afraid the ultimate bad guy was a bit too easy to figure out - and was perhaps a weak point in the whole thing.

Considering that they were starting off with some good material, ripped off from Relic, this could have been better. Read more
