I'm a huge James Rollins fan, especially when it comes to his Sigma Force series. But I had a hard time getting into this one. It just seemed slow getting going, with all the earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and deep sea coral. While all of these things are quite interesting in and of themselves, there was so much of it all as setup in the first 25% or so of the book that it became tedious. I started to think, "Just when is this plot going to take off?" When it finally did get going and we see an old enemy return, then it started to get good.
The rest of the book was fun and action-packed, just like I expect of Rollins. So the four stars that I give this book is a combination of 3 stars for the first 25% of the book and then 4-5 stars for the rest. The book redeemed itself. I really think Rollins could have done this book in 340 instead of 440 pages. But I really liked the ending! What a lead-in to the next in the series!… (més)

Hands down the best book in the Sigma Force series that I have read so far (I am reading them in order, so this is the fourth that I have read). All of my favorite characters were back for an action packed mystery of a historical plague resurfacing.
Rollins takes us all over the globe, connecting both a science arm and a historical arm. Gray is reunited with our favorite Guild member once again, this time with the added tension of keeping his family safe.
On the other side, Monk and Lisa are living aboard a cruise ship trying to figure out what is causing a strange illness at Christmas Island. The twists and turns that happened aboard this ship were thrilling! How Rollins was able to keep both prongs of the story entertaining while eventually bringing them together was masterful.
I will say, Rollins pulled at my heartstrings in this one. It appears that he killed off one of my favorite characters! I spent much of the remainder of the book waiting for him to reveal that the character made it through, but time after time Rollins presented us with the opposite information. That is until the last few pages, once I had admitted defeat and was angry, did he give me a possible sliver of hope. I am sure this will quickly be dashed in the next book haha.
My only critique of this book would be the last few pages. I followed along with this storyline pretty easily compared to some of his others, but the last handful of pages really confused me. Like did any of this happen???? Who are these people and why is she in the past?? I need answers! I am hoping the next book will give me these. Overall, I enjoyed this book and it had all of the best qualities of the first three. It gives me hope that he may continue to grow as a storyteller as I read further into the series.… (més)

Liked this one better than the second book in the series. There were a few points where the science got a little too sciency for my understanding and I found myself skipping past some of the quantum stuff.
