The Book of the Dead - Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child

I picked this up in the Austin airport after finished the Rollins book, mistakenly thinking this was by Greg Bear (?) and finished it the next day (I spent a lot of time in airports).  I didn't know it was part of a series, but I really enjoyed it.  The writing was better than Rollins (who relies on a lot of one sentence paragraphs for emphasis) the characters were good, and the plot did pretty well.  Good book, and the next time I see one of the predecessor books in the Pendergast series I'll probably pick one up.
