Title: Good action ... only an OK story...
Product review: Agent Pendergast is just too eccentric for my tastes, I guess. He seems to know everything about everything, has unbelievable luck, and I just can't be made to care about him. There are some nice twists and turns in the story, that keep you guessing.. but the ultimate 'cause' of some very interesting and bizzare deaths that appear to be Satan himself, was ultimately a real letdown for me. I felt like I was missing 'something' the entire story because I'd not read any of the previous Agent Pendergast stories... and there are lots of references that probably would have made a lot more sense to me (or that I'd care about) if I had... and Preston leaves you hanging at the end ridiculously just to set up another book.
