Reliquary
co-author Douglas Preston

This story can really be a cliff hanger. It is the sequel to Relic. The problems Margo, the New York Police Department and FBI had before is nothing compared to Reliquary. Headless corpses are starting to turn up again and the New York Police Department asks the administration of the museum to use their sophisticated equipment to identify and help determine the manner of death the victims suffered. Professor Frock is brought out of retirement and Margo, now full fledged curator is asked to assist in the autopsy. The following chain of events becomes a chilling race against time to save the world. I, at least, had a hard time waiting for the end.

Mount Dragon
with co-author Douglas Preston
This is a bio-thriller examining the moral, ethical and legal issues of bio-engineering impacting the human genetic pool. The story revolves around three principles; a young and rising bio-engineer (Carson), a pharmaceutical company director (Scopes) with an apparent dichotemy of personality traits, procuring profits and attempting to improve the health of the human race by eliminating the flu, and his old adversary, a university professor (Levine) who uses questionable methods to try to monitor and control what he sees as misuse of bio-engineering. The story is an incredible portrayal of a possible horrifying scenario in an attempt to control the uncontrollable human factors and faults when handling potentially holocaustic materials. The story has an incredible twist at the end and is worth the wait.

Riptide
with co-author Douglas Preston
For those who enjoy tales of the lost treasure and pirates, the latest novel by this pair provides a different twist to this favorite theme of old. This is another tale of man using technology trying to outwit a previously brilliant architect of the 1800's. The pirate Ockham had kidnapped the architectural genius of the time to build an impregnable vault to protect his treasure. The search for the treasure has cost many their lives ... including many of the family who owns the island. Captain Needleman, approaches the Dr. who is the current owner of the island with a scheme to get the treasure. His team has uncovered vital information that makes the scheme more feasible. The Dr., against his better judgement, agrees ... on one condition ... he is to be a part of the expedition. If nothing else, he wants to find out what happened to his brother ... a victim of his own desire to find the treasure...
This is an enjoyable suspense and ... delightfully possible ... techno-thriller.
