Resumen del Editor

If the biblical plagues of Egypt truly happened—could they happen again—on a global scale?

Two years after vanishing into the Sudanese desert, Professor Harold McCabe comes stumbling out of the sands, but he dies before he can tell his story. Then an autopsy uncovers a bizarre corruption: someone had begun to mummify the professor's body—while he was still alive.

Subsequently, the medical team who had performed the man's autopsy has fallen ill with an unknown disease. Fearing the worst, a colleague of the professor reaches out to Painter Crowe, the director of Sigma Force. The call is urgent, for Professor McCabe had vanished into the desert while searching for proof of the ten plagues of Moses. As the pandemic grows, a disturbing question arises. Are those plagues starting again?

To unravel a secret going back millennia, Director Crowe and Commander Grayson Pierce will be thrust to opposite sides of the globe. As the global crisis grows ever larger, Sigma Force will confront a threat born of the ancient past and made real by the latest science—a danger that will unleash a cascading series of plagues, culminating in a scourge that could kill all of the world's children…decimating humankind forever.

They Just Get Better!

I truly Love this series! Each one is individual, built on a lot of research and creates a believable incident and outcome. Worth every word from the first book! Thank you!

Brilliant as usual

Another awesome book! Thanks James for both informing and entertaining. Your ability to blend centuries old fact with what we know today enlightens us. Again, thank you.

another amazing Sigma force novel!

since the first James Rollins book I read I've been hooked!!! can't wait for for the next one!

great!

Love the mix of science, bible, and adventure! He never disappoints! I love the Sigma Force Series and recommended to most!

Epic.

The narrator had me turning up and down the volume constantly. The story? Epic. Excellent characters, excellent story line great action. Might even top Judas Strain. As a microbiologist who studies Infections Diseases I found this one intellectually accurate.

Another great sigma force novel

I thoroughly enjoy all of these novels for their historical and scientific backgrounds mixed with a bit of imagination. I can't wait until the next one comes out!

Another Exciting Tale

I enjoyed this new edition to the Sigma series. I really felt some of the text quite moving with references to grieving, love and end of life. The narration at time was so fast I needed to check my audio speed and it seems that Christian would finish a whole sentence in the one breath, his characters were spot on.

This One Gets the Series Back on Track

Would you consider the audio edition of The Seventh Plague to be better than the print version?

Have not read the print version. However, I am not a fan of the narrator so I may have enjoyed the print version more.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Seventh Plague?

The scenes with elephants. You can tell a lot of time and research went into these passages. They were heart warming and very well done.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

For the life of me I can't understand why Christian Baskous has done so many of these books. He's not unbearable, but darn close. The earlier installments with Mr. Fernandez and Mr. Brick were far better. It is almost as if they are tied to him for contractual reasons. This series is way too popular to allow it to be held back by this guy. His inflection is over-the-top, when doing conversation he snips the end of sentences, he rushes through dialog...He just rubs me the wrong way.In all fairness, there are some reviewers that seem to enjoy him. Not this guy.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No...but it never bogged down too much. It kept a good pace throughout.

Any additional comments?

This series had lost a lot of its magic for me of late. This book brought much of that back.

poor performance

narrator tried to overly dramatize words - and at times spoke so softly that I couldn't hear what he was saying.

always love James Rollins books.

I always enjoy James Rollins books however this one just didnt seem to flow or hold you on the edge of your seat like most of them. also this one just seems to end....no big finally not big finish just ends. not my favorite book for sure.
