Gideon's Sword by Douglas Preston
3.0
Preston & Child's new series follows Gideon Crew, a former art thief with a dark past. Gideon Crew is pretty much a James Bond ripoff -- a master of disguise, a martial artist, and, of course, a hit with the ladies.
This book really didn't do much for me. It's very "by the numbers" and lacked the strong narrative and depth of Preston & Child's other books. It was OKAY, but I certainly wouldn't recommend it over any of their other books.
There are a few links to the PENDERGAST novels, which is sort of fun and interesting, but they don't amount to much more than maybe 10 pages in the entire book.
Meh.
