Summary

Hidden deep beneath Manhattan lies a warren of tunnels, sewers, and galleries, mostly forgotten by those who walk the streets above. There lies the ultimate secret of the Museum Beast.

When two grotesquely deformed skeletons are found deep in the mud off the Manhattan shoreline, museum curator Margo Green is called in to aid the investigation. Margo must once again team up with police lieutenant D'Agosta and FBI agent Pendergast, as well as the brilliant Dr. Frock, to try and solve the puzzle. The trail soon leads deep underground, where they will face the awakening of a slumbering nightmare.

Prolong the suspense: listen to the first book, Relic.

Critic reviews

The netherworld of New York City...proves as shuddery a setting for the authors' latest scientific monster mash as the American Museum of Natural History did for their bestselling Relic, to which this is the sequel. ( Publishers Weekly)
"This should do for the New York subway system what Jaws did for Long Island beaches." ( Booklist)
"Dick Hill's reading of this fascinating sequel to The Relic builds the suspense and horror." ( AudioFile)

Great fun

Really enjoyable sub-Lovecraftian thrillers, nicely written and very involving. Wish they'd put a bit more effort into fact checking, they repeatedly talk about scurvy being a consequence of vitamin D deficiency and causing bone softening and joint deformities when that is actually rickets. It doesn't really matter but many of the characters are academics in anthropology, genetics and medicine: they would know this.

Superb follow up

You must read the relic first to really get this book, but this book too has a brilliant plot and characters. Unusual mix of sci fi, adventure and murder. This book is true escapism, brilliantly read and superbly written. Hours of true escapism at its best.

Excellent in every respect.

Imaginative. Entwined with facinating facts. All enhanced by the narrator in a performance worthy of any stage. I loved it and will listen to more...

Couldn’t put it down

His stories are so exciting, it’s very hard to put it down, your always sitting on the edge of your seat.
The characters are so real, they’ve got a life of their own. Can’t wait to start the next one

Better than Relic

Enjoyed this and learnt so much about the ‘mole people’ after Googling. Love the characters esp the one from the FBI but I worked out the wee twist at the end - didn’t detract any thing from the plot for me.

Well read and well written.

Relics

If the first book was "'Alien' in a Museum" then this is "'Aliens' in the sewers"!
A fine followup to Relic, expanding and explaining the beast and what makes it.
Entertaining and fun.
