When I read the first relic book, and the summary for the second book, I really wanted to get it. When I checked out Reliquary, and read it. I was horribley dissappointed. I thought it was going to be another scary Preston and Child book, with another Mbwun monster loose in New York city. It would have been a great book. But instead of a terrifying monster, they had a bunch of wrinkled up drug addicts in the underground. And the ending really disappointed me, it was really surprising though. Wait until paperback. Dont waste your'e money
