At twenty-four, summoned to his dying mothers 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 fathers destruction. His plan is meticulous, spectacular, and successful. But from the shadows, someone is watching. A very powerful someone, who is impressed by Gideons special skills. Someone who has need of just such a renegade. For Gideon, this operation may be only the beginning . . . Author Biography The thrillers of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child "stand head and shoulders above their rivals" (Publishers Weekly). Preston and Childs Relic and The Cabinet of Curiosities were chosen by readers in a National Public Radio poll as being among the one hundred greatest thrillers ever written, and Relic was made into a number-one box office hit movie. They are coauthors of the famed Pendergast series and their recent novels include Fever Dream, Cold Vengeance, Two Graves, and Gideons Corpse. In addition to his novels, Preston writes about archaeology for the New Yorker and Smithsonian magazines. Lincoln Child is a former book editor who has published five novels of his own, including the huge bestseller Deep Storm. Readers can sign up for The Pendergast File, a monthly "strangely entertaining note" from the authors, at their website, The authors welcome visitors to their alarmingly active Facebook page, where they post regularly. Review "A rollicking tour-de-force. The eponymous Gideon Crew would be equally comfortable smack in a Ludlum tempest or striding onto the set of the Oceans Eleven franchise. Preston and Child have crafted an electrifying, riveting thriller on which I could continue to heap praise, but instead I will just offer this: Read the book! And we can all look forward to the next appearance of Mr. Gideon Crew in the not-so-distant future."--David Baldacci on Gideons Sword"Fast-paced and action-packed, Gideons Sword is a clever, high velocity read."--Kathy Reichs on Gideons Sword"When you read Preston and Child you know youre in for a thrill ride and thats exactly what Gideons Sword delivers. They are the antidote for boredom. Hold on tight and let her rip; this ride is worth every penny."--Ted Dekker on Gideons Sword Review Quote "When you read Preston and Child you know youre in for a thrill ride and thats exactly what Gideons Sword delivers.
