From Publishers Weekly
The special-ops trained scientists of Sigma Force battle the criminals of the shadowy Guild in bestseller Rollins's lively third Sigma Force thriller (after Black Order). An ancient and deadly plague, the Judas Strain (which afflicted Marco Polo), has suddenly re-emerged. Gray Pierce, a Sigma operative, and Seichan, a Guild defector, pursue clues to the nature of the plague to the Vatican, Istanbul (with a fine shootout in the Hagia Sophia mosque), Marco Polo's tomb and, finally, Cambodia's Angkor Wat. Meanwhile, Guild members hijack a cruise ship full of plague victims (to provide experimental subjects for the weaponizing of the plague), and Gray's parents are taken hostage (though the senior Grays prove feistier than their kidnappers reckon). Sophisticated the plot isn't, but Rollins includes more than enough action and suspense to keep readers turning pages. 8-city author tour. (July)

    This is the first James Rollins book I have read. It was full of puzzles and action - both of which I love. I was pleased to find that there are other Commander Gray Pierce of Sigma books out there. Can't wait to read another. Also, I enjoy historical fiction when it breathes life into the history and geography of a region. This story does that and more.

  • Interesting Theory

    I'm really interested in reading about the Science article that was the basis for the book.

    My first by this author but it won't be my last.

  • Not anywhere close to what I expected. While I am not a reader of any other Sigma books, I felt like I was slogging through this book to get to the end. Just not engrossing as it seemed it could have been from the description.
