Industry Reviews
"Manhattan has numerous miles of underground. There is the subways, the sewers, the aqueducts, and numerous electrical systems. There are walkways beneath the street. No one living or working on the island really takes much notice at this netherworld except when something goes wrong. A police diver has found the skeletons of two people who apparently were killed by cannibals living beneath the city's streets. When more murders occur, the same crack team that stopped the Mbdwun (read "The Relic") are reassembled. Homicide police officer Vincent D'Agosta, crime reporter Bill Smithback, anthropologist Margo Green, and FBI agent Pendergast all want to forget the Mbdwun murders. However, they now are confronted with underground homeless people and potentially a race of mini-Mbdwun. No solution, including flooding the underworld, seems right. However, the tetrad of survivors better come up with something soon because the city is under attack from below. Though not quite the page burner of "The Relic," "Reliquary" is a fast-paced, quite interesting thriller. The return of the magnificent four (especially Mr. Cool Pendergast) adds a feeling of homecoming to the reader. However, it is the underground tour of New York City, an expedition that would excite Ed Norton and Jean Valjean, that turns this suspense- laden book into a fun to read novel."
