Started off slow, but it kept me interested throughout. Three quarters of the way through there was an awesome twist, and the ending was better than I expected. If you like Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child books, this one is a must. Realistic fiction at its best.

Compelling and riddled with subplots, treachery and betrayal surrounding the entombed meteorite found on a desolate islad of the coast of southern Chile. Very exciting.
Helpful Score: 3
I love scientific thrillers and any book by Preston and Child contains exciting, plausible probabilities. A meteorite, landing in Chile is the object of desire by a billionaire who will spend no expense to retrieve it. The Chilean government has other plans, however. Characterization is strong and action is non-stop. Highly recommended!

The concept was intriguing, and it should have been an excellent read. I found it to be merely mediocre. I was somewhat disappointed because I expected better from Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child.
