Book Description
In Copenhagen . . . a suspicious bookstore fire propels Commander Gray Pierce on a relentless hunt across four continents—and into a terrifying mystery surrounding horrific experiments once performed in a now-abandoned laboratory buried in a hollowed-out mountain in Poland.
In the mountains of Nepal . . . in a remote monastery, Buddhist monks inexplicably turn to cannibalism and torture—while Painter Crowe, director of Sigma Force, begins to show signs of the same baffling, mind-destroying malady . . . and Lisa Cummings, a dedicated American doctor, becomes the target of a brutal clandestine assassin.
Now only Gray Pierce and Sigma Force can save a world suddenly in terrible jeopardy. Because a new order is on the rise—an annihilating nightmare growing at the heart of the greatest mystery of all: the origin of life.
From Publishers Weekly
What would thriller writers do without the Nazis? At the start of Rollins's inventive eighth Sigma Force novel, a secret experiment is smuggled out of Berlin in the waning days of WWII. While the Americans have been working on the atomic bomb, the Nazis were delving into the paradoxical tenets of quantum mechanics. In the present day, descendants of Heinrich Himmler are trying to create a new race of Aryan supermen. Last seen in 2005's Map of Bones, Painter Crowe and Grayson Pierce, employees of Sigma Force, a secret arm of the U.S. military, venture to the brink of death to puzzle out mysteries that encompass the theories of evolution, intelligent design, and the physical and spiritual nature of love and God. It's a tall order, but every time the author appears to have stretched too far, he saves the read by throwing in a fascinating scientific or historical fact, plus a scene of heart-pumping action. This is Cussler and Ludlum territory with a dash of Dan Brown, sure to please devotees of any of these authors. (July)
From Booklist
The globe-trotting adventurers of Sigma Force, that elite American special-ops team, return in this high-powered thriller. The story begins cryptically. In Nepal, a strange plague has struck a remote Himalayan monastery, and a Nazi swastika is found on a cave wall. In Denmark, someone is buying up rare historical documents connected to Victorian scientists (for instance, Charles Darwin's family Bible), and the purchaser is desperate enough to kill for his prizes. In South Africa, a mythological beast is apparently alive and well and preying on wildlife. The author interweaves these stories, following the Sigma Force team members as they risk their lives to get to the heart of one of humankind's greatest mysteries: the origins of life itself. Rollins keeps getting better with every novel, and his fast-paced thrillers are feasts for the imagination. Why Hollywood hasn't snapped his books up yet is a mystery, but it's doubtful any big-screen version could capture the author's gung-ho enthusiasm and intellectual curiosity. If you like all-stops-out, high-concept adventure, this one's for you.

From AudioFile
While providing medical aid at a Nepalese Buddhist monastery, American Doctor Lisa Cummings teams up with Painter Crowe, director of SIGMA Force, and both become entangled in a modern-day Nazi experiment. Gray Pierce, another SIGMA operative, becomes embroiled in the same experiment in Copenhagen. Grover Gardner weaves the threads of Rollins's plot into a whole cloth, adding color and body to the characters. Moving from continent to continent, Pierce and Crowe race to stop the villains. Gardner's German and Afrikaner accents intensify the horror of the out-of-control experiment. Occasionally, Gardner's voice becomes inaudible, nearly frustrating the listener. M.B.K.

James Rollins的第二本書。又是一個Dan Brown 淩空齣世,科學謎團與探險、懸疑的結閤,閑暇閱讀,享受!
評分敘事緊湊 多綫交織 看到第三部終於對係列人物有瞭些許感情。單行本Deep Fathom裏的配角女博士成瞭本作主角,也讓人有所懷念。 引入瞭量子物理,進化論,納粹鍾,科幻探險中常見的元素,缺乏新意,但冷飯炒得還不錯。 個人評價,整體四星水平,但最後密碼解碼和大衛之星值得加一星!
