Additional novels by the Preston and Child team include Mount Dragon, Riptide, Thunderhead, and The Ice Limit. Later, the duo created the Gideon Crew series, which consists of Gideon's Sword, Gideon's Corpse, and The Lost Island.

Cities of Gold pdf by Douglas Preston

Cities of Gold: A Journey Across the American Southwest in Pursuit of Coronado

In April 1989, Douglas Preston and Walter Nelson set out to retrace Coronado's 1540-41 journey through the Southwest in search of the fabled cities of gold. The result is an extraordinary and indelible portrait of the modern Southwest in which Preston retraces Coronado's route, wandering over much of the "real West", fast vanishing under the corrosive tide of modern progress. Maps.
"When I was growing up, I spent my summers in an old farmhouse on the Maine seacoast. The upstairs bathroom who thought the old pine boards underneath a sanitary hazard. Imprinted on the linoleum was a giant map of the United States, and by chance the terrain of the bathroom placed the state of New Mexico directly in front of the toilet."
