Review: I took this book away with me at Half Term, and discovered the usual snag to James Rollins' books - I couldn't put it down!!! The story was gripping, with a several strands linking together as the plot developed. Once again, we are introduced to the Sigma force and, from an early stage, we find that the life of one of the key characters is threatened - and there seems to be no cure. However, he pushes on and perseveres in his battle against another of the evil foes that he and the rest of the team encounter - and, as ever, the reader is pulled in further and further! The plot is one that will instantly appeal to lovers of Dan Brown and Raiders of the Lost Ark. It is pure adventure and fantasy, but at the same time, sweeps the reader around the world as the adventure travels through a range of countries! Scientifically, it is as intriguing as any of his other books and sends you rushing to the internet to find out more! I will leave you to research which elements are based on truth and which are not! For those who have enjoyed previous Sigma force books, I will say that there is a lot of good news on the relationship front in this book - as well as at least one that is left hanging! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Review: Good old James Rollins - I can count on him to write entertaining stories, the stuff I tried to write when I was young with plenty of action and monsters. Of course, Rollins has had scientific grounding and is able to introduce with ease high concepts such as Evolution, Intelligent Design and Quantum physics without losing the reader or bogging down the narrative. In fact, he introduces enough information to spark interest and make you go to the computer and do some internet searching rather than overwhelm the reader with complex theories. The only other writer who had such an effect was Michael Crichton at his peak - Jurassic Park and Choas Theory being a classic example. As a previous reviewer said, it's great escapism, and, the couple of pages at the end detailing where fact meets fiction was just as interesting as the story itself. It's typical James Rollins stuff - plenty of action pausing for interesting scientific revelations. True, it's a formula he uses in his other books but so far I haven't tired of it. Looking forward to the Judas Strain.
