Book Overview

The bestselling master of astonishing adventure James Rollins delivers his most relentlessly exciting page-turner to date--a gripping and explosive novel of an ancient conspiracy to create a terrifying new world order out of the ashes of modern civilization.

The crime is inhumanly cruel with horrific consequences both unthinkable and inevitable. During a service at a cathedral in Cologne, Germany, a band of armed intruders dressed in monks' robes unleash a nightmare of blood and terror, ruthlessly gunning down worshippers and clergy alike. The killers haven't come for the church's gold and valuable artwork, but for a priceless treasure secreted within: the preserved bones of the Three Magi who once came to pay homage to a newborn savior. As they flee the carnage they have wrought, they carry a prize that could reshape the world.

The Vatican is in turmoil, and Lieutenant Rachel Verona of Rome's carabinieri is assigned to lead the investigation. But no ordinary police organization alone can deal with the bizarre theft and massacre, and SIGMA Force--an elite covert arm of the U.S. Defense Department--is called in under the command of Grayson Pierce. New to SIGMA, Pierce assembles a crack team of scientific and Special Forces operatives to unravel the mystery of the stolen bones, and together they set out on a twisting trail through a labyrinth of clues and dark Read More chevron_right

   This book has it all...
I feel like my mind has been opened and my faith has increased. This book was a mix of science, intrigue, and action and it made you think. This is what I enjoy most about James Rollins novels. This book was great. Family and friends can betray you, and enemies can be your best allies. The book begins with a church massacre in Germany, the way the victims die is awful. I don't want to give away too much, but we learn that the papacy has deadly secret sects going all the way back to a biblical past, and you' ll be on the edge of your seat. The history of the magi is the beginning of the story of the Sigma Force team from Book 1. I wasn't prepared for this.

   important
I asked my boss if I could just grab a few books when the library closed because of the flu, and she said yes. The mystery isle and crab books were all written by different authors. This book was written by James Rollins. I haven't read him before, but I'm on the 4 th book of his series. These books have great adventure, characters, mystery and education, as these book are about history at the end of the book, and if you want superior writing James Rollins is way a past 10 stars.

   Non-stop adventure; some real nail-biting scenes here!
I was sorry that Painter was promoted and no longer was a field agent. There are lots of secrets in the Catholic Church. The descriptions of the places where they were looking for clues were wonderful. I don't know how many people have been to these churches to read the story. There is hope that not everything was destroyed. )

   More annoying than the first in the series.
Same issues as in the first book, too many personal issues, too many cliffhangers, and what about the female nemesis deal? The main character in both books is being pursued by a female agent. It was poor edited or proofread. The main character studied Hindi. Hindi is a language spoken in India. Muslims, Christians, Jains, and others all speak it. Many people who do not speak Hindi practice a philosophy and religion called Hindu. I won't try any more of them.

   Unrealistic, confusing
The book looked intriguing and I bought it. It was overwhelmingly technical and unrealistic for me. It had a lot of action, but the premise was not realistic. I thought everything would be explained at the end of the book, but that wasn't the case. Those books can be understood, although unrealistic. Don't spend your money on something you don't need.

   Well Crafted, Twisting Suspense Novel
I don't mind dropping into the middle of the series. When I saw this one for sale, I picked it up because I had read one of the later books. The novel has arcane mysteries, the latest tech and scientific theories, as well as plenty of action. Rollin's tendency to go off on philosophy in the dialogue while action is happening around the characters was the only small issue with the book. There is time to explain later. I love these books and will pick up others.
