Paradox by Douglas Preston and Aletheia PrestonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Douglas Preston's Extinction promised potential follow ups with its plot threads left hanging - namely, the disappearance of the newly recreated Neanders into the Colorado mountains. While this book mostly doesn't bring the Neanders back - saving them instead for a well placed sneak peek to the planned third book, Resurrection, which still needs a Goodreads page of its own - here, Douglas and Aletheia Preston team up instead to write a Catholic relic conspiracy/serial killer thriller worthy of tiding over us Sigma Force fans while we wait for James Rollins to end that series's interminable hiatus. Running on theories about Jesus, Buddha, and other historical religious figures being secret aliens, this book improves on its predecessor in every way, and someday I hope to see Aletheia Preston either take over this series entirely or start something new. She's definitely honed a talent on par with her father's.
