Wow this author should NOT be allowed to write even partially from a woman’s point of view. Or maybe include any female characters? It was like he kept getting feedback that a part was misogynistic and instead of taking it OUT he just was like “oh I’ll fix it” but sure didn’t. 

Also (not a spoiler) - the ending of “that’s the problem with science, they’ll try anything no matter how dangerous” WTF my dude that is both a truly terrible take and not even the takeaway of the story you wrote?? With extremely shady “science”?

I usually enjoy Douglas Preston but for some reason I could not connect with this story. Maybe I'm not in the right state of mind. I may try again later.

A good, fun read that combines some of my favorite things--archaeology and mystery. 

Really enjoyed meeting Cash and Colcord and excited to see where their partnership goes. Very excited for the next installment.
