David McK (3764 KP) rated Reliquary (Pendergast, #2) in Books

Jan 28, 2019

This is Lincoln Preston's (collaboration of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child) sequel to their earlier novel <i>Relic</i>.

As befits any sequel, the canvas is larger this time around, with the novel set in (and below) the entirety of Manhattan rather than just in Manhattan's Museum on Natural History (where <i>Relic</i> was set). It seems there are monsters in the sewers now ...

The novel also pretty much the same cast as the earlier book (Dr Frock, Margo Green, Bill Smithback, Lieutenant D'Agosta and Special Agent Pendergast), not all of whom who are who they appear to be, and is indeed a pretty gripping read!

Format is very different (1 more)

Easy to learn and play

Lite and playful castle seige co-op

I really enjoy this little gem. The format is different in that the board is played as a giant pie chart with various ringed zones based on proximity. Its co-op and everyone works to fight an non-stop onslaught of monsters attacking the central castle from around the board. Its fun, fast, and non-stop action. Everyone very much works together and it has a clear end. The boulders are a little too much of random chance in my opinion that can make or break a win, but overall I enjoy this breezy game.
