amalyndb 's review for:

Gideon's Sword by Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child
3.0

Action/ thriller similar to some of the later Pendergast novels in terms of pacing. Gideon Crew was driven for years to avenge his father, who had been framed in a government cover-up. Now, he has been asked to jump in a helicopter and fly to New York City to perform a job for a Department of Homeland Security contractor: find a main flying in from China and acquire information from him. Things, of course, are not straightforward.

I found this a good distraction to read while dealing with neck/shoulder pain. Got into the action and mystery of it and I look forward to reading the next of the series.
