Angel of Vengeance by Douglas Preston

thebookhoundchronicles's review against another edition

3.5

Quick witted and rousing, Angel of Vengeance is a finale befitting a series like Pendergast! No questions left unanswered...with the hope of a premise to another possible book (series) with the other Pendergast brother as the lead. 


Note: This was my first experience with a Pendergast novel, and while a good read and still engrossing, I believe it would have been that much more enjoyable had I read some of the predecessors first.

I really enjoyed this!!! Preston & Child do it again, absolutely amazing! The twists & turns are pure literary gold. I enjoy the excitement & holding my breath waiting to see the outcome. I love these characters, even the villains. This writing duo I hope continue their corroboration for years to come. Each new story & character are just as delightful as the previous. Highly recommended!!!!

I loved the earlier books and I thought I could pick this one and catch up or read maybe as a standalone but I really needed the background- it’s just me!  Think I’ll go back and catch up in book order and try this on again- as I said, just me.

This was another fun adventure in the Pendergast universe.  It had been awhile since the previous book so I had sort of forgotten where the story had left off.  Overall it was a pretty good book.
