Publisher Description

In this electrifying thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author James Rollins, Sigma Force races to crack ultimate mystery of the origin of life—a quest that will save mankind . . . or destroy it

In Copenhagen, a suspicious bookstore fire propels Commander Gray Pierce on a relentless hunt across four continents – and into a terrifying mystery surrounding horrific experiments once performed in a now-abandoned laboratory buried in a hollowed-out mountain in Poland.

In the mountains of Nepal, in a remote monastery, Buddhist monks inexplicably turn to cannibalism and torture – while Painter Crowe, director of Sigma Force, begins to show signs of the same baffling, mind-destroying malady…and Lisa Cummings, a dedicated American doctor, becomes the target of a brutal, clandestine assassin.

Now only Gray Pierce and Sigma Force can save a world suddenly in terrible jeopardy. Because a new order is on the rise – an annihilating nightmare growing at the heart of the greatest mystery of all: the origin of life.

"THis book is so fun. I can't tell you how much fun it is so you'll just have to read it. Would make the ultimate video game. Nazis, supersoldiers, genetic meddling with animals, plots to take over the world, and yet not as cheesy as all that. good job."

— Dan (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Edge-of-your-seat excitment.” 

    — San Francisco Chronicle
  • “This is Cussler and Ludlum territory with a dash of Dan Brown, sure to please devotees of any of these authors.” 

    — Publishers Weekly
  • “Grover Gardner weaves the threads of Rollins’ plot into a whole cloth, adding color and body to the characters. Moving from continent to continent, Pierce and Crowe race to stop the villains. Gardner’s German and Afrikaner accents intensify the horror of the out-of-control experiment.” 

    — AudioFile
  • “Rollins keeps getting better with every novel, and his fast-paced thrillers are feasts for the imagination. Why Hollywood hasn’t snapped his books up yet is a mystery, but it’s doubtful any big-screen version could capture the author’s gung-ho enthusiasm and intellectual curiosity. If you like all-stops-out, high-concept adventure, this one’s for you.”

    " While the story and writing were well done, I found myself growing very tired of the book. I also found that I could pretty much follow the action by just reading the ends of each chapter with a bit of skimming through the rest. That's how I read the last hundred pages: skipping and jumping. "

    " This was a great book. Action packed, full of scientific information that didn't leave your head spinning and history facts. The characters were believable and added humor when needed. I will definitely be looking for more books by James Rollins! "

    " *gasp* as always James Rollins doesn't disappoint. Cheap thrills + Science Fiction based on current science ponderings = satisfied. Always easy reads but I'm a sucker for the Indiana Jones type adventures, specially with a mixture of science and history. "

    " Ok - this was way more science than I can usually handle, but the action and pace of the novel was fantastic. The flipping back and forth between Gray and Painter was great, and kept you reading and reading and reading. "

    " It was another of Rollins novels. But I found it so extremely far fetched in the end that I wanted it to be over. It was another one of those pick up and put down later, bus reads. "
