There are these books that I read with my husband and this series from James Rollins is part of that. While I don't go out looking for these kinds of books (husband does...) I find the action in Rollins' Sigma Force series compelling and believable.

Sometimes things crop up that make both me and hubbie laugh: like when Director Crowe checks his pager instead of caller ID on his cell phone. Or when there was a typo that made it seem like a villainous character was breast-feed her henchmen instead of turning away from them to cry (dripping 'teats' instead of 'tears'). Clearly some additional editing should be paid these books!

The author does a good job overall with his research and his story-telling. I would recommend his books anytime to someone looking to escape into an adventure. ( )

I didn't even know this book was the fifth in the series until I looked it up after I finished it. It was the coolest. :) ( )

Autistic savant children, gypsies, Action, and Chernobyl. goog Combo. ( )

Another good Sigma Force book, with autistic savant children working communally to save the world from some crazy Russians. Like prior books, a good mix of history, archaelogy, science. ( )

A good action thriller with historical tie-ins. Just my kinda thing. Fans of Scott Mariani or Steve Berry will enjoy. ( )
