Resumen del Editor

Currently in development as a TV series from Amazon MGM Studios, a story of a thrilling hunt around the globe, pitting nation against nation, as ancient myths of a lost continent prove all too real—the latest novel in the bestselling Sigma Force series from James Rollins, #1 New York Times master of international thrillers

The execution of a Vatican archivist within the shadow of the Kremlin exposes a conspiracy going back three centuries—to the bloody era of the Russian Tsars. Before his murder, he manages to dispatch a coded message, a warning of a terrifying threat, one tied to a secret buried within the Golden Library of Tsars, a vast and treasured archive that had vanished into history.

As combative forces race for the truth behind this death and alarming discovery, Sigma Force is summoned to aid in the search—not only for this missing trove of ancient books, but to follow a trail far into the Arctic, to search for the truth about a lost continent and a revelation that could ignite a global war. But Sigma Force has its own difficulties at home after an explosive attack on the National Mall—one aimed at the heart of their covert agency—has left them vulnerable and exposed.

The growing conflict—both on Russian soil and deep in the Arctic—will reignite a centuries-old war between the newly resurgent Russian Orthodox Church and the Vatican, while sabers rattle across the nations of the Arctic Circle, threatening to turn those icy seas into a fiery conflagration.

Facing enemies on all sides, it will be up to Commander Gray Pierce and Sigma Force to unravel a mystery going back millennia—and uncover the truth about a lost civilization and an arcane treasure that could save the planet…or destroy it.

The whole story

James Rollings does not disappoint with this book! It picks up where his last book left off! I love the story line and animals! The only sad part is when I finish this story and have to wait until his next book! Great Job Mr Rollings, thank you.

Great read

As with all of James Rollins’s books, he combines science, history and intrigue, as well as lots of action. Even though this book is number 18 and the sigma force series you do not need to read all the other ones to make sense of it as he incorporates enough of the backstory on the major players so you know who they are and where they come from. Being a veterinarian by training he always includes an animal in this one. He has two war dogs, one still a pup and learning, but who does a great job of being the protector. I also really appreciate the truth in fiction at the end, even though sometimes I don’t want to know what the truth is because it’s kind of scary overall a good read

I’m a huge Tucker Cain and now Marco fan!

Was thrilled they are in this and was equally happy with the fast pace and creativity Rollins has! Love the progression of characters. I really dread what you’ve alluded too with Cain and was worried about it here. I live the points of view from the dogs especially!

Excellent as always

Fast paced and exciting book. This time Sigma must locate a lost library and use it to locate a legendary land in the Arctic regions. All the while operating on enemy territory and opposed by power hungry religious and military figures and an old enemy who has come closer to destroying the organization than anyone in their past. They do have a bit of help when they call in their sometime contractor Tucker and his highly trained war dogs.

This book has everything you could want from a thriller. Recommended!

Again, James Rollins best work!

I love the detailed history and action packed story. Christian's excitement and change of characters helps me keep track of who's who, as always!

Better to read than listen

Unfortunately, the narrator is not very dynamic to keep the story in its proper frame. There is not very much inflection to determine when, where, urgenices in story and so forth. There is a bit to be desired in the post production as well in that the listener can hear corrections in the audio where it sounds completely different (from a quiet room then to what sounds like a recording in an echoed hallway). I will jot be able to finish after 5 hours in. This is a return for me.
