Publisher's summary

Deep in the Rocky Mountains, a gruesome discovery - hundreds of mummified bodies - stirs international attention and fervent controversy. Despite doubts to the bodies' origins, the local Native American Heritage Commission lays claim to the prehistoric remains, along with the strange artifacts found in the same cavern: gold plates inscribed with an unfathomable script.

During a riot at the dig site, an anthropologist dies horribly. All evidence points to a radical group of Native Americans, including one agitator who escapes with a vital clue to the murder and calls on the one person who might help - her uncle, Painter Crowe, director of Sigma Force. To protect his niece and uncover the truth, Painter will ignite a war across the nation's most powerful intelligence agencies. Yet, an even greater threat looms as events in the Rocky Mountains have set in motion a geological meltdown that threatens the entire western half of the U.S.

From the volcanic peaks of Iceland to the blistering deserts of the American Southwest, from the gold vaults of Fort Knox to the bubbling geysers of Yellowstone, Painter Crowe joins forces with commander Gray Pierce to penetrate the shadowy heart of a dark cabal, one that has been manipulating American history since the founding of the 13 colonies. But can he discover the truth before it destroys all he holds dear?

Not a bad audiobook

Enjoyed the audiobook and the narrator was exciting. Can't wait to listen the next book

Riveting!

Another exciting and imaginative story that makes one want to read history and technology books.

Hard time getting into the story.

The story was hard to get into and the narrator voice took some from my phone to get adjusted to.

love

One of my favorite book series. There has not been a bad story line yet. I always can't wait to read/listen to the next one!

Another good story

A good story. The, what if's, wrapped around bits of reality. I just wish it would have had the, here's what's real and here is what's, not close out

something of a drag

this was my first and last Sigma novel. Shades of SPECTRE. Secret layer on top of secret layer.
With some amazingly inept characters moving through a maze of world threating events with the insane dwarf master and his minions. Yeah he researched all this stuff and I'm only suprised Dan Brown didn't beat him to the secret history of the Mormons and their heritage from the Knights Templar, sorry "teh lost tribes" and their stop off at Atlantis. Not my dish of tea. Little name dropping of choice items, a computer geek who sees into the core of the planet, and some Doc Savage rejects. Best descriptiion "sucks".

History and Science

I love the way James Rollins weaves history and science and fiction and faith into a believable and beautiful story of human life and fallacies. Greed and corruption versus the greater good, add in action, a little romance and real life ups and downs and you have a powerful mix of what makes an awesome story!

Great read.
