I recently read Thunderhead (which I loved) so I wanted to keep going on the non-Pendergast Preston and Child books. This book moves more slowly than other books I've read by them. I think I struggled to care about the task that they were aiming to complete, but by the end I was intrigued enough by the characters and the mysterious meteorite, I ended up enjoying this book overall.

There were a couple of rather predictable moments, even more so if you've read anything else by Preston and Child, but those were the moments that helped pull me into the story so I appreciated them. I thought the little twist at the end was quite fun.
