Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author James Rollins takes you to the edge of modern medicine, genetics, and technology, revealing the next evolutionary leap forward: Immortality - a future conceived through the monstrous ingenuity of man....

Galilee, 1025. A cunning Templar knight uncovers a holy treasure: the Bachal Isu - the staff of Jesus Christ - a priceless icon that holds a mysterious and terrifying power that will forever change humanity if unleashed.

A millennium later, Somali pirates hijack a yacht off the coast off the Horn of Africa, kidnapping a young pregnant American woman and brutally killing her husband. Painter Crowe and his SIGMA team are enlisted for the top secret rescue mission. The kidnapped woman is Amanda Gant-Bennett, the daughter of U.S. President James Gant. Crowe is more than a little suspicious that the kidnapping masks a far more nefarious plot.

In the field, Commander Gray Pierce leads his small team of operatives into the treacherous African jungle to find the missing woman. But what should be a straightforward rescue turns into a fiery ambush and a deadly act of betrayal. As Commander Pierce and his team discover, the hostage is a pawn in a shattering act of terrorism with dark and shocking repercussions. And the danger is only beginning....

Performed by Peter Jay Fernandez.

James Rollins can't write a bad book!

Once again his Sigma series does not let you down. This is my third time listening!

James Rollins at his best.

This book was fantastic, kept me listening for hours at end. The narration was perfect.

Love the book and the writer

Could not ask for a better book. Love the way thr author works and writes. Can't wait until the next book. Reader is awesome as well. Makes the suspense worth waiting for.

Always good

Some how Rollins finds away to always make the stories interesting and exciting. They never get old.

Getting better and better.

Just a few brief words. This is perhaps my favorite of the series understanding that recency bias may be at play here. The relationships evolve in deeper ways in this installment bringing more life to the characters.

Also, PJF is growing better and better as a narrator. Perhaps this also contributes to the feeling of emotional growth. The occasional mispronunciations are happening less. Either that or I’ve just become inured to them. :-)

Hope this is helpful to y’all and enjoy your day.

Peter does a great job. He gives most of the characters their own personality.

I love rollins

fun book, interesting technology references, I like the character development, another great book, well done

Interesting if far fetched plot.

great characters including the amoral evil
ones behind a secret conspiracy to control the world behind the scenes. Thriller action
here & there abounds. Perhaps a bit long as
the plot weaves it's way to a satisfactory end

twists, turns and intense.

Enjoyed the ride through some really crazy, impossible worm hole of imagination and science fiction.
