About this listen

From #1 New York Times bestselling author James Rollins, the latest riveting, deeply imaginative thriller in the Sigma Force series, told with his trademark blend of cutting-edge science, historical mystery, and pulse-pounding action.

It begins in Africa . . .

A United Nations relief team in a small village in the Congo makes an alarming discovery. An unknown force is leveling the evolutionary playing field. Men, women, and children have been reduced to a dull, catatonic state. The environment surrounding them—plants and animals—has grown more cunning and predatory, evolving at an exponential pace. The insidious phenomenon is spreading from a cursed site in the jungle — known to locals as the Kingdom of Bones —and sweeping across Africa, threatening the rest of the world.

What has made the biosphere run amok? Is it a natural event? Or more terrifyingly, did someone engineer it?

Commander Gray Pierce and Sigma Force are prepared for the extraordinary and have kept the world safe, vigilance for which they have paid a tragic personal price. Yet, even these brilliant and seasoned scientific warriors do not understand what is behind this frightening development—or know how to stop it. As they race to find answers, the members of Sigma quickly realize they have become the prey.

To head off global catastrophe, Sigma Force must risk their lives to uncover the shattering secret at the heart of the African continent—a truth that will illuminate who we are as a species and where we may be headed . . . sooner than we know.

Mother Nature—red in tooth and claw—is turning against humankind, propelling the entire world into the Kingdom of Bones.

Giant virus

Set in Africa with the rise of a virus that affects all forms of animal life, this installment of Sigma Force is terrifying. It look me nearly a year to listen to it as I kept going to other books instead of immersing myself in the wickedness of some men and the danger faced by the team.
As usual the author skillfully weaves together enough fact into fiction that the reader becomes sure that a terrible ending will result.
Tucker and Kane join Gray, Monk and Kowalski in meeting a host of new threats.
Kane has a rough go of it in this book. Many other animals and insects are affected by the plague. Animal lovers will likely struggle with this story.
I don’t know enough about Africa’s fables and history to know about the tales of a golden kingdom hidden from the world. It made a great setting for Gray and Kowalski to seek an answer to the plague.
I think the narrator did a good job.

best series ever

so everything about this series feeds my soul. From the real science and the accurate historical accounts to the action and adventure! the characters that have been developed through the entire series are impossible not to love. every book that comes out i get excited just to see how they're doing, not to mention whatever amazing adventure they're going to partake in! Christian Baskous is amazing and by far my favorite narrator for this series! his accents, tempo and inflection are perfect! Can't wait for the next book and will be pre ordering it as soon as possible!

heavy science

Great story, as usual, but this was extra heavy on science. Narrator was a bit less annoying than the last few Sigma books.
