Preston and Child have created the perfect conclusion to their last cliffhanger! Meticulously crafted to keep the reader guessing to the last minute. Blending historical fiction, mystery, thriller and a bit of science fiction to complete this story was masterful. It is hard to describe without spoilers. Constance, Pendergast, D'Agusto and Diogenes are trapped in the 1800's world they stepped through the portal into. They are hoping that Proctor will be able to repair the machine and reopen the portal to their time. They continue to act on their plans to save Constance's family and protect the alley where the portal will reappear, hopefully. Each step is perilous, fraught with dangers that keep the reader on the edge of their seat. I thoroughly enjoyed this book as I have the entire series. Recommended for readers of thrillers.

This was an excellent conclusion to the latest trilogy arc of this series! A warning to readers new to this series: this is by no means a stand-alone novel and to fully understand the depth of the characters and events in this novel, I recommend reading previous Pendergast novels first.
This was a great book. Everything in the last two books (and novels before it as well) lead up to this one and it didn’t disappoint. It was fun to see the buildup and the inevitable showdown between Leng, Pendergast, Constance, and Diogenes. It was great to get another book with Diogenes as he’s one of my favorite characters.
My only issues with this book are that it was almost nonstop action from the start and there were too many points of view. Since the book was almost nonstop action it was hard to find good stopping points. I re-read the previous novel before reading this one and it made the previous novel feel slow in comparison. I would have liked it if things were more balanced between the two. Since there were so many POV I felt like some parts of the story were rushed and looked over. It was hard to tell what pieces the characters were sliding into place since so many things occurred off the page. I felt like it was harder to appreciate the brilliance of the brothers’ and Constance’s scheming without a clear view of what they were doing. That being said, things do wrap up nicely and make sense in the end. It was just a little frustrating at the time.
Overall this was a great read. I feel like this could make a great end to the Pendergast series as a whole but I would always love to read more Pendergast stories!

Angel of Vengeance by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child is not a standalone, but does provide enough background to engage new readers. The book ties up the trilogy started with Bloodless and continued in The Cabinet of Dr. Leng, The final showdown between Pendergast, Constance Greene, and Enoch Leng is well-written and delivers a thrilling time travel adventure. An engrossing and fast-paced read.

Thank you to the authors,Grand Central Publishing, and Netgalley for the opportunity to preview the book

Thanks to Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child, and Grand Central Publishing for this digital ARC. What a homerun... wrapping up Diogenes, Pendergast, Constance, and D'Agosta's wild storyine. Read this today!!!

"Angel of Vengeance" is the latest effort of the noteworthy pairing of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. I was delighted when the publisher of this book, Grand Central Publishing, made an ARC of this available to me for review as I have been a follower of the series (sporadically) since I first encountered "Relic" many years ago. This volume remains consistent within their canon in that it merges several literary genres fairly successfully to present a fast paced tale filled with memorable characters following their destiny. Readers familiar with the Pendergast series will recognize many characters as well as the eclectic merging of science fiction, history, police procedural, horror, and even Gothic elements.. The book begins slowly with time travel and then begins to bring in other genres as something of a masterpiece of its kind. If you like any one of the genres I have mentioned, you owe it to yourself to investigate what the fascinating caste of characters (familiar to readers of the series) are up to in 1880's New York City. Keep an open mind, and all will be revealed in a kind rollicking trip through time and genre, filled with many of the conventions associated with the genres I have mentioned. Pondering how the many genres explored are exposed and what that might mean to our own lives is half the fun! Note also that while the book fits within the Pendergast series, it can be read as a free standing volume. The book belongs in public libraries and is suitable for all age groups.

"Angel of Vengeance" was my first Preston & Child book. A time-travel caper/revenge novel, it's an enjoyable romp—good period details—but I was late to the series. Some resolutions and dangers felt contrived—people doing dumb stuff—others interesting. I'm likely to read more.

Well, Preston and Child, it took you long enough. I waited over a year for the follow-up (or should I say second half?) of the previous Agent Pendergast book, The Cabinet of Dr. Leng. At least this is a satisfying conclusion. We still don't know for sure if Pendergast and Constance are an item, but there are signs that they're getting it on. Well done. Highly recommended but do read the previous book first.

Thanks to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

4.5 stars

Constance Greene, FBI Agent Pendergast, NYPD Detective Agosta and Pendergast's brother Diogenes are back in time to fight Enoch Leng. Loved the historical 1800s NYC settings. I think I learned 100 new vocabulary words.

Don't read this as a standalone book.

This is the third book in this subset series, we have all been eagerly waiting for this book and it does not disappoint! It jumps right back in where book 2 ended, but there is enough content that you can enjoy this as a standalone. As we know they have traveled back in time and are trying to right the wrongs were mistakenly created. Great book!

After the cliffhanger of all cliffhangers in the previous book, Angel of Vengeance shoots from the barrel at full force and doesn’t stop until the last page of the epilogue. Implausible and over the top, but no one reads Pendergast expecting reality, do they?

Great fun for fans of the series, but this is most definitely NOT a standalone. I’d recommend starting much further back before jumping into the fray.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Thank you NetGalley for a pre-release of Angel of Vengeance.

Wow, just wow!! A loyal Preston & Child reader, I’ve been anxiously waiting on this follow up novel for a year. As readers may remember, the previous book ended on a MAJOR cliff hanger. Angel of Vengeance picks up right where it left off. It certainly didn’t disappointment.

Man, this book was crazy! Great conclusion to the current trilogy within the series, but I do recommend the first two books be fresh to have all the little details straight. My original rating was 3 stars. Then the epilogue bumped it up to 4. But because there's almost no connection from book 1 to book 3 except a machine...final rating is 3.5 stars.

Who doesn’t love Pendergast? Once again Preston and Child knock it out of the park with the next installment. This book has is my new favorite of the last few offerings. Traveling back to the 1800s is always fun and the dual narrator writing of this book kept my attention. Super fun book!

I received a free advanced copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks to Netgalley and Grand Central for the pre-release copy of Angel of Vengeance. Below is my honest review.

Let's get one thing straight here: I'm a LONG-TIME Pendergast stan... like, 20 years I've been following this series kind of fan.

Angel of Vengeance ties up the trilogy started with Bloodless and continued in The Cabinet of Dr. Leng, and it concludes with a BANG. I really can't spoil anything here, but this one definitely brought the trilogy to a satisfying close. There's only one small thing that bothers me, and I can't say what that is because I don't want to spoil even the tiniest of things, especially because all in all, it's not really a huge deal.

I love the twists and turns in this one, and how they have to outsmart their vile ancestor with schemes within schemes. I love Constance's humanity in this one - her unwavering thirst for vengeance and desire to protect her loved ones. I loved Diogenes' semi-redemptive arc in this one... but seriously, Doug and Linc, we're going to need a new spinoff because of the events of this book.

I just really loved this one. Coupled with The Cabinet of Dr. Leng as two parts of a story that is set up by the machine introduced in Bloodless, this book duo really shows that even after all of these years, Preston and Child are still at the top of their game (even if I still think Bloodless is one of my least favorites in the entire series, these two more than made up for that).

Highly recommended, but seriously, don't start here. This is book 22. Not a good place to jump in, fellow readers.

I requested this book as I have read all of the other books in the series, which I recommend before reading this one. This book begins immediately where the prior one (The Cabinet of Dr. Leng) ends. It ties up several loose ends from the prior novel and leaves open the door for future adventures. It is an engaging book which makes it a fairly fast read. I recommend this book for those who are fans of the Pendergast series.

I received a free Kindle copy of this book courtesy of publisher with the understanding that I would post a review on Goodreads, Net Galley, Amazon, Facebook and my nonfiction book review blog.

Angel of Vengeance is unadulterated fun! Preston and Child have added an instant classic to their peerless Pendergast series. As I read this latest installment, I felt the same thrills I experienced when I read the Bantam reprints of the classic Doc Savage adventures as a youth. It captures the spirit of those great pulp novels. This final showdown between Pendergast, Constance Greene and Enoch Leng is wonderfully written. It does not disappoint as a time travel thriller. Leng is as diabolical as ever and even more clever than possibly our heroes anticipated. It's a good thing Pendergast and Constance have allies (old and new) to aid them in this timeless thrill ride. You won't hesitate to add Angel of Vengeance to your "very best of Pendergast" lists once you finish this book. It's that good. It really is. Thank you to Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley for the advance reading copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

Yet another five star book by the dynamic duo of Preston and Child! I have read all the books and I admit, I'm a bit in love with Pendergast. Even after all these years he still has mystery surrounding him. This book takes off with a bang and keeps on banging. Constance is her usual amazing self and we see just how far she goes to protect her family. I could go on and on but I won't. Read it for yourself, pick it up and you will lose yourself for a few hours, get no sleep and want more. Highly recommended! Thank you netgalley and publisher for providing an arc for my honest review.
