Description

Preston & Child continue their #1 bestselling series featuring FBI Special Agent Pendergast and Constance Greene, as they cross paths with New York’s deadliest serial killer: Pendergast’s own ancestor…and now his greatest foe.

AN INCREDIBLE JOURNEY

Astoundingly, Constance has found a way back to the place of her origins: New York City in the late 1800s. She leaps at the chance to return…although it means leaving the present forever.

A DESPERATE OPPORTUNITY

Constance sets off on a quest to prevent the events that lead to the deaths of her sister and brother. But along the road to redemption, Manhattan’s most infamous serial killer, Dr. Enoch Leng, lies in wait, ready to strike at the slightest provocation.

UNIMAGINABLE ODDS

Meanwhile, in contemporary New York, Pendergast feverishly searches for a way to reunite with Constance—but will he discover a way back to her before it’s too late?

  • Hopefully, not the last Pendergast Adventure!

    Definitely the best Pendergast adventure, thus far. My grave concern is that the Pendergast saga may end here. Please let this not be so.

  • Rank advertisement to buy next installment

    Disappointing, slow paced and a et deux machina ending. Basically an unfinished book written to lead you to purchase the next volume in what should have been one book. These arthors have done this before and i dont want to continue down this lead in path.

  • First disappointment from authors

    I absolutely LOVE this series and their other books as well. I’ve read almost everything they’ve written. Together and solo. I wish I’d known it was TBC like many other reviewers. I probably still would have read it but wouldn’t have been so disappointed. Hope the rest is coming soon…been a really long wait.

  • This is probably a me thing. But I did not enjoy it.

    I have read every single Pendergast book and enjoyed the growth and series immensely. BUT … this book was not my cup of tea. I am not a huge fan of “time travel” books. So reading this has taken so long. I’m still not done. Usually I finish their books in a day or two if I’m busy. It’s been months. This is probably a me thing. But I did not enjoy it.

    Very good, well written book with interesting story lines and plot About the only negative thing is I had to look up a lot of the words (many times just to confirm that I knew the correct — if not simpler — meaning) so I guess it could be said the prose was a good exercise in vocabulary improvement.

  • Can’t wait for the next installment!

    This is not a full book. This is just part 1. Better to read it when the second book is finish.

    Could not put it down. A most engaging story line that held many surprises.

  • What a Let Down

    From the authors: “First: thank you for reading this book. Second: our apologies for what is, at least in part, an inconclusive ending.” It’s not inconclusive; it’s unfinished; it’s half a book. Absolutely nothing ties together, and it reads like a random brainstorming session potentially with mind altering substances involved. Unless you’ve died, why release an unfinished work? For true fans on the Pendergast series, you will be disappointed - wait for the actual conclusion to be released before starting this book .

    I would have thought better of these esteemed and well established authors to finish (or half-finish) a book with a sophomoric “TBC”….. I would rather have waited and been treated to the Full Monty at a later date. Now one gets to pony up twice for what should have been one novel.
