Resumen del Editor

High in Nepal, a monastery erupts with savagery and madness. Deep in a German mine, abomination wears the innocent face of a child. Hidden in the jungles of Africa, experiments rooted in a dark past have found fertile ground again.

Across the frozen peaks of the Himalayas to the diamond fields of the Congo, from the subterranean labs of a lost era to the bright halls of the Smithsonian, Sigma Force will face its most cunning adversaries, its most daunting challenges, and its most dire threat. The very future of mankind will belong to the victor.

For any hope of success, Painter Crowe must make a pact like no other: to align Sigma Force with an old enemy, one beyond redemption. And it will be up to Commander Gray Pierce to find the balance between salvation and damnation, even if it means sacrificing those closest to him. Still, victory is far from certain, for there are riddles that even the greatest minds were never meant to solve.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This is Cussler and Ludlum territory with a dash of Dan Brown, sure to please devotees of any of these authors." (Publishers Weekly)

"Why Hollywood hasn't snapped his books up yet is a mystery." (Booklist)

My First James Rollins novel

The author was a suggestion the novel was a pick...but I wasn't disappointed .Really enjoyed the story couldn't predict how it was going to come together but it did.

classic Rollins

Classic Rollins! Good Read and Listen. I think the sigma novels really start getting good here.

Good read

Good read keeps you interested with the facts mixed with fiction and suspense another good book by the author.

Fast becoming a favorite

When a doctor attempts to summit Mount Everest, a weather delay at a lower camp and her desire to help ill residents of a monastery lead her into the middle of a plot to.....well, I don't want to spoil the story. Let's just say that she ends up running for her life, working with the Sigma Force team.

The Sigma Force novels are fast becoming a favorite for me. The seamless blend of historical facts with exciting action, secret government agencies and environmental issues in many cases, make for a wonderful story.

I like the evolution of the characters from book to book although you could read only one without being lost in the back story. Each story takes you to a different parts of the world painting a lovely action packed picture.

Rollins hits one out of the park!

This touches so many points of intrest...spiritual, relational, historical, quantum-physical that it easily satisfies multiple and many facited itches. This may be the perfect book for one like me with ADD. NEVER A BORING MOMENT!

Music between chapters

I have enjoyed the this book as well as the previous ones. I did not like the musical interlude between chapters.

Rollins Does It Again

Another excellent Indiana Jones style adventure with Grayson Pierce at the helm. It is fast paced, thought provoking, and keeps you wanting more. Great story and very fun. Absolutely worth your time!

Startled to find my family name

It's not often I find my family name used as the family name of bad guys.
I enjoy Rollins and often read or in this case listen more than once.
Fast paced , complex, not boring. Sigma.

great author

I've listened to all of James Rollins books and am listening to all of them again, especially the Sigma series. I can't get enough
