James Rollins
New York Times best-selling author James Rollins returns with a terrifying story of an ancient menace reborn to plague the modern world...and of an impossible hope that lies hidden in the most shocking place imaginable: within the language of angels.
From the depths of the Indian Ocean, a horrific plague has arisen to devastate humankind - a disease that's unknown, unstoppable, and deadly. 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. Pierce joins forces with the woman who wanted him dead, and together they embark upon an astonishing quest following the trail of the most fabled explorer in history: Marco Polo. But time is an enemy as a worldwide pandemic grows rapidly out of control. As a relentless madman dogs their every step, Gray and his unlikely ally are being pulled into an astonishing mystery buried deep in antiquity and in humanity's genetic code. And as the seconds tick closer to doomsday, Gray Pierce will realize he can truly trust no one, for any one of them could be...a Judas.

However, I have two buts that I want to get off my chest.
1st, why the hell does JR hate Monk so much that he is the one that keeps losing out on things. Having already read the next book in the series (when my eyes were better than now) I know what’s coming and it irritates me. Monk is probably the best person among the Sigma team. So why is it that the author keeps picking on him? I know it’s for dramatic and emotional affect but it still rankles.
2nd, the narrator mispronounces more words than should be acceptable in a book otherwise very good. One quick example.
The word “bas” in the term “bas relief” is, as we all know, pronounced ‘bah’. The narrator kept going back and forth sometimes pronouncing it correctly and then immediately after pronouncing it ‘base’. At least once he did this within 3 or 4 seconds. And that’s just one example. It’s not enough to make me trash him but really, where’s the editor or producer?
I know that the 2nd complaint sounds a bit nit-picky and it may be. It’s just that I enjoy the Sigma series and am in awe of the author’s talent and his incredibly detailed research. I believe it should be narrated with the same attention to detail.
Hope this is helpful to y’all and enjoy your day.
Great story with some frustrating mispronunciations.
