I discovered James Rollins' work while I was an undergrad in college, and he became a favorite almost immediately. His genre-blending into fun thrillers makes for fast, entertaining reading, and I just adore his storytelling. I think I put off reading this one only because I wasn't sure how a co-authored work of his would read, and of course, there are so many books that I never get around to anything as soon as I mean to anyway. In the end, though, I devoured this book--it kept me up well past when I'd normally have been sleeping on two consecutive nights, and I can't wait to dive into the sequel.

For a fast-reading horror-thriller that feels something like Indiana Jones blended in with Stephen King, this is perfect. Absolutely recommended. ( )

Another great start to what is hopefully another great series from James Rollins. ( )

I was disappointed with "The Blood Gospel". Well, the book wasn't all that bad, but I'm used to reading much more interesting books from James Rollins that I was surprised that I story that sounded interesting wasn't that interesting to read. Hopefully, the next book will be better. ( )

At the end, I was just waiting for it to be done which doesn't bode well as there is a sequel ( )

Clearly not as good as previous James Rollins books. I don't think I will continue with this series. ( )
