Another satisfying thriller, featuring the Sigma Force team. Gray Pierce, Monsignor Verona, and Seichan combine forces to battle a plaque, with ancient roots. In certain cases, the manner in which riddles are solved are beyond creedence. Pro (as an audio book) - It's long Cons - Preposterous plot; solutions to subplots get lost; two major characters disappear w/o resolution; conclusions comes out of nowhere.. Other Rollins novels have been more interesting. Rollins gets better and better with every book. This one was a great ride! The book is way, way too long. I found myself counting the pages remaining...and believe me there were lots! Just when I was falling asleep the story would take off again and I'd be caught up. Overall... thanks to relentless action in spectacular places, great characters in the Sigma Force crew, and plenty of spurious science (again sometimes too much)...it all provided more than enough distraction from some almost unbelievable breathtaking coincidences and leaps of logic. no reviews | add a review

From the depths of the Indian Ocean, a horrific plague has arisen to devastate humankind. But it is merely a harbinger of the doom that is to follow. Aboard a cruise liner transformed into a makeshift hospital, Dr. Lisa Cummings and Monk Kokkalis, operatives of SIGMA Force, search for answers to the bizarre affliction. But there are others with far less altruistic intentions. In a savage and sudden coup, terrorists hijack the vessel, turning a mercy ship into a floating bio-weapons lab. A world away, SIGMA's Commander Gray Pierce thwarts the murderous schemes of a beautiful would-be killer who holds the first clue to the discovery of a possible cure, then joins forces with the woman who wanted him dead. As a relentless madman dogs their every step, Gray and his unlikely ally are pulled into an astonishing mystery buried deep in antiquity and in humanity's genetic code.--From publisher description.

There were lots of plot questions I had, which was almost a given considering how complicated the plot was. The ending lasted too long and was confusing.
The book was especially a disappointment because I had read a later book in the series which was much better. This seemed like a subpar Clive Cussler copycat. And Clive Cussler books aren't that great to begin with. ( )
