Praise for Relic "These guys are masters at scaring the hell out of people." -- Tribune and Times (Tampa, Florida) "Preston and Child's refreshing penchant for realistic detail elevates their tale far above Crichton's. Containing just the right blend of gripping suspense, colorful characters, and credible science, Relic has all the ingredients for well-deserved bestseller status." -- Booklist "Superbly exciting." -- The Record (Bergen County, New Jersey) "This is a real page-turner, part Jaws , part Poseidon Adventure ." -- Library Journal "Jaws takes Manhattan." -- San Francisco Examiner and Chronicle " Relic is a straight thriller. That's like saying, however, that Die Hard was just another action adventure flick or that Gone With the Wind was just another Civil War film.

Each stands as a superlative example of its type." -- Orlando Sentinel " Relic is as good as this type of novel gets." -- Hartford Courant " A high-concept, high-energy thriller . Builds to a superbly exciting climax, and then offers a final twist to boot." -- Publishers Weekly.
