“MOUNT DRAGONIS AS MARVELOUSLY COMPLEX
AS ANY THRILLER I’VE EVER READ. ...
IT IS NOTHING LESS THAN A TOURDE FORCE!”
—Stuart Woods, author ofChoke

—Business Week

“The writing team that scared the willies out of readers withThe Relic returns with a second, equally
gripping novel of techno-terror. ... It’s a grand and scary story, with just enough grisly detail to stimulate
real-life fears and characters full enough to engage the attention.”
 
—Publishers Weekly
“Dynamic duoPreston and Child once again demonstrate their mastery of the genre. ... The thrillfest runs
full force to the very last page.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Read this and you’ll be panting forPreston and Child’s next yarn.”
—Booklist
(Inside Flap)
The most dangerous place on Earth. ... “A slam-hang medical thriller, swift, gruesome, and wickedly
clever.”
—Richard Preston.New York Times
best-selling author ofThe Hot Zone
 
“The Hot ZonemeetsThe Stand. ... Explosive.”
Jack Anderson. Pulitzer Prize- winning columnist
“When you finish this book you’ll want to storm a genetic engineering firm and destroy their projects.
...MountDragonis a powerful, fast-paced story, with a cast of interesting characters. ... It will probably
be made into a motion picture in no time.”
—San FranciscoExaminer
“Like a fictionalized rock-’em, sock-’em version of Richard Preston’sThe Hot Zone .”
—Library Journal
“A chilling, fabulous trip through cyberspace, flight and survival on the searing desert, high-tech wonders
that defy belief—all these elements and more combine for an evening’s worth of heart-stopping
excitement. A year ago, it seemed difficult, if not impossible, for these two guys to top their first novel.
After I finished flipping the pages of this one and my near cardiac arrest had been averted, one clear
impression lingered. Brother, was I mistaken.”
 
—TheTampa Tribune-Times
(Reviews)
“Firstrate entertainment. ... Imagine a Michael Crichton-style thriller with immensely more detail paid to
the level of writing. ... And yes,Preston and Child weave in plenty of soberly provocative discussion of
the ethics of screwing around with human genetics. ... First class storytellers and stimulating entertainers.”
—Locus
“The Relicis a straight thriller. That’s like saying, however, thatDie Hard was just another action
adventure flick or thatGone With the Wind was just another Civil War film. Each stands as a superlative
example of its type.”
—OrlandoSentinelonThe Relic
“Better than anything the theoreticallyrecombinant team of Michael Crichton and Peter Benchley could
ever hope to achieve.”
 
—AlbuquerqueJournalonThe Relic
“The Relicsatisfies the primal desire to be scared out of one’s wits. ... The ending is a real bone-chilling
shocker.”
