An elite scientific military force must combat a plague beyond any cure—a scourge that turns all of nature against mankind in this nail-biting new thriller from James Rollins, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sigma Force series.
From the depths of the Indian Ocean, a horrific plague has arisen to devastate humankind – unknown, unstoppable…and merely a harbinger of the doom that is to follow.
Operatives of the shadowy covert organization Sigma Force, Dr. Lisa Cummings, and Monk Kokkalis search for answers to the bizarre affliction aboard a cruise liner transformed into a makeshift hospital. But a sudden and savage attack by terrorist hijackers turns the mercy ship into a floating bio-weapons lab.
Time is an enemy as a worldwide pandemic grows rapidly out of control. As the seconds tick closer to doomsday, Sigma’s commander, Gray Pierce, must join forces with the beautiful assassin who tried to kill him – following the trail of the most fabled explorer in history into the terrifying heart of an astonishing mystery buried deep in antiquity and in humanity’s genetic code.

" I enjoyed this thriller about a virus that infects cells of animals and sometimes reverts back to normal. Lots of action. "
" Non-stop action. This book just kept moving along and it was really hard to put down. Curse the need to sleep! With this being the fourth in a series, I'm already vested in the characters, but Rollins keeps developing them which is great. A realy good read! "
" I listened to the audio verison of this; the narrator was perfect. I didn't relaize until about 1/4 of the way through that this is the latest in the Sigma Force series, but by then I was hooked. "

" This book was really hilarious and ridiculous , but I totally couldn't put it down. I hate myself a little for liking it so much. "
" I have to admit that as I listened to this, there were times that I got lost on the scientific mumbo-jumbo. (My mind wanders way to much when I drive and listen) I probably would have learned more had I read it. It was an entertaining read, if a bit long in the end. "
" A greta read. fun characters interesting series so far i have enjoyed every James Rollins book. "
" #4 Sigma Force, tons of mythol, speculation on angelic lang, angkor wat, marco polo, dna and lang frequencies/hidden lang in dna "

" Thoroughly enjoyed this read. A little bit of science, history, and action...what more do you need? "
" James Rollins continues the Sigma Force series with another thriller. The mix of action, mystery, science, and (a bit of) romance makes for an entertaining read. His style and method are beginning to be a touch systomatic though. "
" like DaVinci Code but with Marco PoloIf you likes DaVinci Code..you will like this also. "
" Weird virus surfaces. Forces of evil decide to try to harness it. Forces of good prevent them. So that's alright then. "
