“MOUNT DRAGONIS AS MARVELOUSLY COMPLEX

AS ANY THRILLER I’VE EVER READ. ...

IT IS NOTHING LESS THAN A TOURDE FORCE!”

—Stuart Woods, author ofChoke

“A delightfully gruesome yarn and an apt mirror of our love-hate relationship with science.”

—Business Week

MountDragon:an enigmatic research complex hidden in the vastdesertofNew Mexico . Guy Carson

andSusana Cabeza de Vaca havecome toMount Dragon to work shoulder toshoulder w ith some of the

greatest scientific minds on the planet. Led by visionary genius Brent Scopes, their secret goal is a

medical breakthrough that promises to bring incalculable benefits to the human race. But while Scopes

believes he is leading the way to a new world order, he may in fact be opening the door to mass human

extinction. And when Guy andSusana attempt to stop him they find themselves locked in a frightening

battle with Scopes, his henchmen, and the apocalyptic nightmare that science has unleashed. ...

“The writing team that scared the willies out of readers withThe Relic returns with a second, equally

gripping novel of techno-terror. ... It’s a grand and scary story, with just enough grisly detail to stimulate

real-life fears and characters full enough to engage the attention.”

—Publishers Weekly

“Dynamic duoPreston and Child once again demonstrate their mastery of the genre. ... The thrillfest runs

full force to the very last page.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“Read this and you’ll be panting forPreston and Child’s next yarn.”

—Booklist

(Inside Flap)

The most dangerous place on Earth. ... “A slam-hang medical thriller, swift, gruesome, and wickedly

clever.”

—Richard Preston.New York Times

best-selling author ofThe Hot Zone

“The Hot ZonemeetsThe Stand. ... Explosive.”

Jack Anderson. Pulitzer Prize- winning columnist

“When you finish this book you’ll want to storm a genetic engineering firm and destroy their projects.

...MountDragonis a powerful, fast-paced story, with a cast of interesting characters. ... It will probably

be made into a motion picture in no time.”

—San FranciscoExaminer

“Like a fictionalized rock-’em, sock-’em version of Richard Preston’sThe Hot Zone .”

—Library Journal

“A chilling, fabulous trip through cyberspace, flight and survival on the searing desert, high-tech wonders

that defy belief—all these elements and more combine for an evening’s worth of heart-stopping

excitement. A year ago, it seemed difficult, if not impossible, for these two guys to top their first novel.

After I finished flipping the pages of this one and my near cardiac arrest had been averted, one clear

impression lingered. Brother, was I mistaken.”

—TheTampa Tribune-Times

(Reviews)

“Firstrate entertainment. ... Imagine a Michael Crichton-style thriller with immensely more detail paid to

the level of writing. ... And yes,Preston and Child weave in plenty of soberly provocative discussion of

the ethics of screwing around with human genetics. ... First class storytellers and stimulating entertainers.”

—Locus

“The Relicis a straight thriller. That’s like saying, however, thatDie Hard was just another action

adventure flick or thatGone With the Wind was just another Civil War film. Each stands as a superlative

example of its type.”

—OrlandoSentinelonThe Relic

“Better than anything the theoreticallyrecombinant team of Michael Crichton and Peter Benchley could

ever hope to achieve.”

—AlbuquerqueJournalonThe Relic

“The Relicsatisfies the primal desire to be scared out of one’s wits. ... The ending is a real bone-chilling

shocker.”

—Express BooksonThe Relic
