Author of the Week
Douglas J. Preston writes adrenaline-laced works that blend thriller, psychological suspense, mystery, and horror. His solo novels (like those co-authored with colleague Lincoln Child) offer action-packed, twisting plots; sympathetic protagonists pitted against human and/or inhuman evils; and atmospheric real-world settings. Diverse areas of study (paleontology, archaeology, hard science, and more) are central to the narrative context. Well-chosen, everyday language helps pique readers' interest in these topics while preserving a fast pace. The clock is always ticking: Preston's likable protagonists must overcome initial fears before a climactic showdown with evil. Start with: Relic.
