Riassunto

In the latest Sigma Force novel, New York Times bestselling author James Rollins continues to dazzle with a compelling combination of history, religion, science and adventure, as he sends Commander Pierce to solve a centuries-old secret, one coded in prophecies of doom.
Three murders on three continents bear a horrifying resemblance: At Princeton University, a famed geneticist dies inside a biohazard lab. In Rome, a Vatican archaeologist is found dead in the heart of St. Peters Basilica. In Africa, a US Senator s son is slain within a Red Cross camp in Ghana. All three deaths are marked by a fiery symbol burned into their flesh: a Druidic pagan cross. The bizarre murders thrust Commander Gray Pierce and Sigma Force into a global hunt for a powerful group of industrialists who have a stranglehold on the world s food supply. Aided by two women from his past, Gray flees a trio of high-tech assassins as he pieces together the clues. The commander must make a brutal choice: to save the world, he must sacrifice one of the two women at his side. Yet even that price might not be enough, for he knows the only true path to salvation lies within the Doomsday Key.

Recensione:

This guy doesn t write novels he builds roller coasters....Rollins excels at combining action and history with larger-than-life characters....A must for pure action fans. (Booklist)

Rollins s prose explodes off the page in a twisty and compelling thriller....Swashbuckling adventure, elite team effort, and religious symbology all add up to another gripping and terrifying read....An amazing and brilliant technothriller that might be his best to date.
