Elke

Elke asked Douglas Preston:

My brother and I really love the Pendergast series, so I have a question about those books: is there something you would want to go back and change about Pendergast's history and character, that you now have to work with but sort of regret? Or is there something you would like to do with the character and his history that you really can't because of the confines of the world you and Lincoln created?

Douglas Preston I apologize for the late reply! I don't think there is anything we would change. That isn't to say Pendergast is the nicest, most charming person in the world. He has his shortcomings and difficulties and snobberies... He is who he is.
