title: Gideon's Sword (Gideon Crew series)
author:  Douglas Preston 
description: "A rollicking tour-de-force. The eponymous Gideon Crew would be equally comfortable smack in a Ludlum tempest or striding onto the set of the Ocean's Eleven franchise. Preston and Child have crafted an electrifying, riveting thriller on which I could continue to heap praise, but instead I will just offer this: Read the book! And we can all look forward to the next appearance of Mr. Gideon Crew in the not-so-distant future."<b><i>David Baldacci on <em>Gideon's Sword</em></i></b><br /><br />"Fast-paced and action-packed, <i>Gideon's Sword</i> is a clever, high velocity read."<b><i>Kathy Reichs on <em>Gideon's Sword</em></i></b><br /><br />"When you read Preston and Child you know you're in for a thrill ride and that's exactly what <i>Gideon's Sword</i> delivers. They are the antidote for boredom. Hold on tight and let her rip; this ride is worth every penny."<b><i>Ted Dekker on <em>Gideon's Sword</em></i></b>
