[QUOTE="thebassistsgirlfriend, post: 1722468, member: 555048"] Preston and Lincoln Child? Ever since "The Relic", I have been a big fan of not only Special Agent Pendergast, but writers Preston and Child. I loved how they could craft interesting characters and have wild situations that could still seem so grounded in reality because they were so freaking well researched. Unfortunately, things seemed to go downhill after "Brimstone", and the last several books have seemed like they belong on a soap opera. I used to eagerly pre-order all of their books, and now I've come to just wait until the library gets a copy. I couldn't even finish reading "Wheel of Darkness". I think these two men are tremendously talented, but it seems like their latest have lacked the punch, style, wit and literary muscle of their previous ones. Am I the only one who wishes they'd never introduced Constance as a character? The books would be so much better without all the melodrama that's come after her. What do you think? Am I just being picky? The kicker is, I think I still really, really want that autographed copy of their soon-to-be-released book. [/QUOTE]
