Angel of Vengeance

De: Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child

Narrado por: Jefferson Mays

Preston & Child continue their #1 bestselling series featuring FBI Special Agent Pendergast and Constance Greene, as they take a final stand against New York’s deadliest serial killer: Pendergast’s own ancestor…and Constance’s greatest enemy.

A desperate bargain is broken…

Constance Greene confronts Manhattan’s most dangerous serial killer, Enoch Leng, bartering for her sister's life—but she is betrayed and turned away empty-handed, incandescent with rage.

A clever trap is set…

Unknown to Leng, Pendergast’s brother, Diogenes, appears unexpectedly, offering to help—for mysterious reasons of his own. Disguised as a cleric, Diogenes establishes himself in New York's notorious Five Points slum, manipulating events like a chess master, watching Leng’s every move…and awaiting his own chance to strike.

A vengeful angel will not be deterred…

Meanwhile, as Pendergast focuses on saving the unstable Constance in her fanatical quest for vengeance, she strikes out on her own: to rescue her beloved siblings from a tragic fate and take savage retribution on Leng. But Leng is one step ahead and has a surprise for them all…

Great follow up!

This latest book and the conclusion to book 21 is really good. I am so impressed. This book crosses a few genres, mainly mystery/thriller and sci-fi.

The big question everyone has I’m sure after so many people were unhappy after the last book is…. Was it worth the wait? In my opinion it was but to each their own.

I’m not going to go into what this book was about. I’m very frustrated with the way the reviews are being handled these days and I’m not sure how many more I’m going to write if any, who knows. If it does get posted it will probably be on the last page.

Anyway, I really enjoyed the book and thought Jefferson Mays did a great job narrating

Great story!

This was a great story, much anticipated after the last two books. I did not appreciate the narrator's reading. His telling of the last couple has been drab and uninspired, in my opinion. I miss the days of having Rene Auberjonois or Scott Brick tell the tales of Agent Pendergast.
Aside from the performance, this was a definite win for the authors.
I can't wait to see where the next book lands our hero... and Diogenes!

A very satisfying conclusion

More than just part 2 of the proceeding novel, the story brings, if not closure, a satisfying progression of many other subplots and character developments. It almost felt like this could be the beginning, or a transition, to a final arc in the Pendergast universe. Hopefully not though. Looking forward to many more novels. Also, excellent narration on the audiobook.

Character development and then end of an arc.

The character development of Diogenese and the death of Ling were amazing. Constance was the best.

Pendergast at his best!

I absolutely loved the storyline! Thrilling and engaging! All characters were well developed and the story leaves you on the edge of your seat!

Love it

A masterpiece. I enjoyed the end to this trilogy. Looking forward to more. Definitely give it a listen.

Excellent! Bravo!

A perfect conclusion to this particular trilogy. Well done gents! The narrator was excellent. He even recited Latin verse in meter (when you know you know). I am excited to see where the story takes us.

How the dr justified what he was doing

I liked all of it. I wish it would have continued on and on. However, I wish Degusta had a better role than what he had in this book.

A tremendous story. Love the characters!

The back story and the interval were exceedingly rich. The history of the time and events were encompassing and educational. The writing truly transported an individual to another place and time. Truly a Great read. Thank You

Great storyline

Fully entertained with exciting and engaging storyline as well as powerful characters. Great ending to a wonderful series !
