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

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 revelations that carry them to the sites of the Seven Wonders of the World--and to the doorstep of the mystical and terrifying Dragon Court.
An ancient, secret fraternity of alchemists and assassins, the master-adepts of the Dragon Court have plans for the sacred remains that will alter the future of humankind in devastating ways that only the maddest of zealots could desire--and they will let nothing and no one stand in their way. Suddenly Pierce, Verona, and the SIGMA team are the hunted as well as the hunters, forced to use every skill they possess to survive as they follow the bones to the ultimate confrontation between darkness and light--in a lost place of history where science and religion will unite to unleash a horror not seen since the beginning of time.
A masterful novel that combines the exhilarating mysticism of The Da Vinci Code with the pulse-pounding action of a Tom Clancy thriller, James Rollins's Map of Bones is destined to be a modern classic that will stand among the very best adventure tales ever written.

This book has it all...
Derived From Web , Jun 15, 2021
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.

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!
Derived From Web , Jun 20, 2020
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.
Derived From Web , Aug 18, 2019
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
Derived From Web , Oct 29, 2018
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
Derived From Web , Oct 2, 2018
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.
