"I chose this author because I hadn't read anything by him yet and I'm trying to expand what I read beyond the stuff I think I would normally like. I really wanted to listen to the audio version of The Book of the Dead, but it was checked out. This book was o.k. I don't really like supsense thrillers like this because I get stressed too, especially because I had just read Undomestic Goddess which was fun and funny. I'm glad I read this though because now I can say I've read something by Lincoln Child. It reminded me of Clive Cussler who I like too, but have to be in the mood for and I guess I wasn't in the mind for this type of material at the time I read it."
"I think the author, Lincoln Child, is trying to channel Clive Cussler. That's not necessarily a bad thing. When I read Cussler's first book, I thought his character, Dirk Pitt, was some kind of stupid cross between James Bond and Jacques Cousteau. In other words, a scuba diving, plane flying, superman who could catch 200 bullets and still get the girl.
So far I have read 2 Lincoln Child books and his male characters are lesser men who are full of fear and only barely rise to the occasion. The women are sparse and fall to the background.
And he loves the idea that Earth has been visited by aliens in the remote past who've used our beautiful planet as a dumping ground for their horrendous weapons and out of control pets.
I haven't told you anything about this story yet. There's something frozen in the ice in Alaska. We thought it was a sabre-toothed tiger but we were wrong. A discovery channel type company is wanting to film the recovery and melting of this animal's ice coffin but maybe the beast isn't as dead as we thought. Or maybe it's treachery among the crew. Only a small group of Inuit-type natives know the answer and they aren't really wanting to help."

"'Testost(erone) tosh' is self-evidently the male version of chick-lit and I must admit I much prefer the manly rubbish compared to the entirely unpalatable (IMHO) female polemic. This genre is always fast, furious, vicious and improbable - wonderful comfort reads."
"I first became acquainted with Lincoln Child (and his frequent co-author Douglas Preston) when their book Relic was being filmed at Field Museum. Their books do follow a pattern - some kind of supernatural element, a remote location, mysterious deaths - but they are fast and engaging reads that often make an appearance on best seller lists. It's not a book I need to own, but I enjoyed it, checked out of my local library."
