A Re-read. Having just finished the final book in the trilogy, I chose to revisit the initial volume.
You ought to read "Ice Limit". It was one of their early books and to this day, one of the most perfect book endings I've ever read.
When I can which is not very often I am at the midway point of Dance with Dragons. More often it is Guide to Computer Forensics and Investigations, A Practical Guide to Fedora and RED Hat Enterprise Linux or, CCENT study guide. This return to school keeps me a little busy
It's actually finished now. I'm really hoping that Martin finishes his series before he dies, but at the pace he's writing...
I recently finished Gideon's Sword, which is the first in a series of Gideon Crew novels. Only one other has been published at this point, but up to 12 are planned. One definitely needs to read Gideon's Sword first before Reading Gideon's Corpse. I was really impressed with Preston & Child, and plan on getting more of their books. Would you recommend reading the Pendergast novels in chronological order? Do they build on each other?
I've only read two, Dance of Death and Cemetery Dance. Cemetery Dance was written later and there were a few reference that I could tell were from Dance of Death, but nothing that really made a difference to the plot of Cemetery Dance. Both were great reads. Here's what was written just in front of the title page to Cemetery Dance: In answer to a frequently asked reader question: Almost all of them are stand-alone novels that need not be read in order, except for the pairs Relic/Reliquary and Dance of Death/The Book of the Dead, which are ideally read in sequence. Enjoy!
While you could read them out of sequence, I wouldn't recommend it. Especially in the last few. There are characters/events that build on one another throughout the whole series. I can't remember, but either Relic or Cabinet of Curiosities is the first one in the series. Pendergast's character also goes through quite an evolution throughout the series.
