amyextradot 's review for:
Gideon's Sword
by Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child
I've enjoyed the Pendergrast novels, so I was hoping to find a new series, and a new protagonist with the introduction of Gideon Crew.
Not so much.
Women fall into bed with him, he gets away with everything because he's such a "smooth character" and the entire reason he is the way he is is glossed over in one, single chapter.
I think the character, therefore the series, would have been better served by outlining Gideon's past, motivations, and how he brought down those responsible for his father's death (basically, everything in the section called "Melvin Crew") in its own book, then jumping into what Gideon is doing now in a separate book.
I'm not too sure I'll read the next installment, although the authors leave it WIDE open for subsequent books.
