New York Times bestselling authors Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child pair up to present the unforgettable character Gideon Crew: trickster, prodigy, master and thief.

At twelve, Gideon Crew witnessed his father, a world-class mathematician, accused of treason and gunned down.

At twenty-four, summoned to his dying mother's bedside, Gideon learned the truth: His father was framed and deliberately slaughtered. With her last breath, she begged her son to avenge him.

Now, with a new purpose in his life, Gideon crafts a one-time mission of vengeance, aimed at the perpetrator of his father's destruction. His plan is meticulous, spectacular, and successful.

But from the shadows, someone is watching. A very powerful someone, who is impressed by Gideon's special skills. Someone who has need of just such a renegade.

For Gideon, this operation may be only the beginning ... Mystery, Thriller & Suspense Thriller & Suspense Action & Adventure Espionage Suspense Spies & Politics

Still good but I was expecting more from this power house writing team. Characters were well developed.

After reading the Pendergast series I was expecting a tighter story line.

Of what I thought, I love the two authors very much. But something seems to be missing??? The excitement is there and then Gideon seems to disappear and someone else enters...more when I read book 2.

Not really sure...

Personally, I like the Pendergast series a little more, but this was a great opener for the Gideon Crew series.

Only issue I had with the performance is that the guy clearly isn’t very good with accents. He just really couldn’t deliver when the character required it. Other than that it was good though.

Very entertaining
