Once again we are reunited with the inimitable Agent Pendergast. The last Pendergast book, “Brimstone” left our hero bound and enclosed behind a brick wall. Pendergast managed to escape and is on the run from the police. Friends of Pendergast were viciously murdered and all the evidence points to our favorite agent. In “Dance of Death” Pendergast is pitted against his brother Diogenes. After watching his parents burn to death, Diogenes lost his mind. Diogenes may be the only person just as brilliant as Pendergast. Knowing he may have met his match, Pendergast turned to those he knew he could trust, his best friend Lt. Vincent D’Agosta, Smithback, Nora Kelly, Margo Green and Laura Haywood.
Authors Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child make an unbeatable team. In "Dance of Death" they keep the readers holding on to the edge of their seats with an absorbing main plot and exciting secondary plot. Naturally the writing team skillfully ties the main and subplots together. The pace is fast and the story is character-driven. When the dynamo duo created Pendergast, they created a character that is understated and yet bigger than life. In this book he shows more vulnerability and does not seem quite as super human as he has previously. “Dance of Death” ties in previous plots written by Preston and Douglas but does so in a unique way. This book ends with a cliff hanger making readers beg the authors not to keep them waiting long.
