Chronicle To Books The Wheel of Darkness (Pendergast #8)

The Wheel of Darkness was my least favorite of the Pendergast series. "But Ginger, you still gave it 3 stars?!" "Well, have you read any Pendergast books yet my fellow Goodreads friend?" "No." "Well, let me explain. So far, every book has been fun, suspenseful and entertaining. At times the books can creep you the fuck out! I mean, they can't all be 5 star books. Right?!" Why did I give this a lower rating? I think the unbelievability with this plot was a bit much for me along with how Pendergast and Constance always got their way while on the Britannia. And to be honest, I think my mind is too damn dumb to understand the complexities of the Agozyen. It was still an interesting, powerful and fascinating Tibetan artifact. I liked the idea of it and wish I was smarter so I can figure out how to take over the world! I enjoyed the secondary characters, the premise of the plot and all the action. This was definitely a fun and enjoyable read! Recommended to fellow Pendergast fans, fans of thrillers and action genres and anyone looking for a high seas and dramamine induced nautical read!

Assess Of Books The Wheel of Darkness (Pendergast #8)
I love most of what these guys Douglass Preston and Lincoln Child write together. But I esecially love the story line of FBI agent Aloysius Pendergast and his "ward" Constance Greene.Yeah the books are a bit over the top and Agent Pendergast gets away with ALOT of stuff no Real FBI agent would, but the books are great. Always some end of the world /Crazy person with a venetta to destroy everything plot , and yet always different and fresh. This one takes place on a brand new Ocean Liner called

There are two types of people who rate this book highly. Those that have never read the rest of the Pendergast series and those whose understanding of the rest of the Pendergast series is skin deep.This book is an insult to the rest of the series. I wonder if Preston and Child just got to the point where they said "I bet we can write any piece of garbage and put our names on it and put the name Pendergast in it and people will still love it"Anyway, you could easily have written this book and

After the disappointing Diogenes trilogy, Agent Pendergast is back in a much better book. The story is set in Tibet & on an ocean liner which brings back the feeling of claustrophobia that existed in The Relic. In addition, Constance is now a much more involved character which brings that extra oomph that was missing. Not everything is great though. The ending is a deus ex machina. Plus, the plot point used here is quite similar to the plot point in The Book of the Dead.So, The Wheel of

I have a hard time getting into Preston & Child novels. Their plots are interesting but we never really get to know the characters. Just who is Pendergast, and who is Constance? What are their motivations? Their hopes? Their dreams? Their fears? I gather from reading that Constance is immeasurably old but still looks very young, but I don't know what led to her longevity. These characters, as well as the "supporting" cast, seem paper-thin to me because they're really just a name and a face

This story is the first after the Diogenes stories. Pendergast takes Constance to a Tibetan monastery for some meditation. While there, one of the group asks Pendergast to look into the theft of the Agozyen, an artifact the monks were guarding.Thus begins a trans Atlantic ship crossing, with the detectives on the trail of a thief/murderer.

Disappointing after the thrilling Diogenes trilogy. However, still an enjoyable, quirky read.8/11/18 Update: reading for a 2nd time with my daughter while on vacation in Seattle, WA. We'll see how I like it this time around & it will be interesting to have my daughter's experience to add to mine.We finished listening to the audiobook on our way back home. My daughter agrees with my 3*** rating & adds that she found it had too many supernatural elements that had no basis in reality,
