Relic

“Relic is a straight thriller. That’s like saying, however,

that Die Hard was just another action adventure flick or

that Gone With the Wind was just another Civil War film.

Each stands as a superlative example of its type.”

—Orlando Sentinel

“A high-concept, high-energy thriller ... builds to a

superbly exciting climax, and then offers a final twist to

boot.”

—Publishers Weekley

“Preston and Child’s refreshing penchant for realistic detail

elevates their tale far above Crichton’s [Jurassic Park] ...

Containing just the right blend of gripping suspense, colorful

characters, and credible science, Relic has all the

ingredients for well-deserved best-seller status.”

—Booklist

“Superbly exciting.”

—The Record (Bergen County, NJ)

“This is a real page-turner, part Jaws, part Poseidon Adventure.”

—Library Journal

“It’s the year’s hottest.”

—Literary Guild Bulletin

“Relic satisfies the primal desire to be scared out of one’s

wits ... The ending is a real bone-chilling shocker.”

—Express Books

“Jaws takes Manhattan”

—San Francisco Examiner and Chronicle

“Relic is as good as this type of novel gets.”

—Hartford Courant
