But from the monastery an ancient relic is stolen. According to legend, no one may see it as its task is to wipe out the human race from the surface. No one can therefore say how it looks and what exactly his job. The monks ask for help to avert Aloysius that contribute to the high disaster. This makes willingly set out to solve the mystery. He quickly found a trail to the fabled "Agozyen" that him and Constance on a new super cruise ship that leads Britannica.
Mysterious murders and confusing events and board harden the suspicion that the Agozyen was opened and someone who knows his secret. The circle of the suspects is rapidly smaller. Everything culminates in a Kollisonskurs the ship with a cliff that more than 4,000 people on board brings in mortal danger.
My conclusion: Again an absolutely exciting and stunning book of author duo. What I found this time very well: even the seemingly powerful Pendergast is defeated and his dark inner comes because of Agozyen to light. And this time it's his brother who helps him ... :-)
In the beginning I found it quite difficult to me to remember all the names, which met the main characters on the ship. But that passed quickly.
The voltage increases from the first page and keeps a constant, high level. The final pages reveal a new secret that attentive readers could probably suggests. According to legend, if the Agozyen is dismissed from the monastery, one who is bringing it back, bring not only the artifact, but also the reincarnation of the spiritual leader ... Politically currently also the criticism that Tibetans have a hard time, in this Times travel around, because you are disabled or killed by the Chinese.
On the other hand, already considered to be, ever take a cruise after was described in great detail what can happen so everything.
Another class work by Preston and Child!
