A remote military research station sends out a frantic distress call, ending with a chilling final command: Kill us all! Personnel from the neighboring base rush in to discover everyone already dead-and not just the scientists, but every living thing for fifty square miles is annihilated: every animal, plant, and insect, even bacteria.The land is entirely sterile-and the blight is spreading.To … spreading.
To halt the inevitable, Commander Gray Pierce and Sigma must unravel a threat that rises out of the distant past, to a time when Antarctica was green and all life on Earth balanced upon the blade of a knife. Following clues from an ancient map rescued from the lost Library of Alexandria, Sigma will discover the truth about an ancient continent, about a new form of death buried under miles of ice.
From millennia-old secrets out of the frozen past to mysteries buried deep in the darkest jungles of today, Sigma will face its greatest challenge to date: stopping the coming extinction of mankind.
But is it already too late?

LOVE the Sigma series! Can’t wait for the last book to be released next week! I’ve read the series twice now. Always a lot of action, adventure and very imaginative story lines!
I have read every book by James Rollins. His stories always leave you guessing until the very end.
Love the twists and turns. The sub plots make you think and leave you wanting more without thinking the story ended without an end.
The Sigma Force series is an exceptional series of books. Rollins is one of my top ten favorite authors.
Fascinating premise involving one possible change in the development of the future of the based on DNA experimentation.
The Sigma Force has quickly become my favorite group of ensemble characters. I like the way Rollins has combined his ability to create believable people with action-packed scenarios that engage me. Like real special operations, he’s caught the energy bursts between the “standby” and “go” modes. There are times when the characters are static, but their minds are racing as they try to think their way through potential scenarios. In a blink of an eye, those minds shutdown and their training takes over – and its those chameleon-like changes that make them so engaging.
Rollins is one of my favorites authors. I’ve read all his books and I’d recommend all of them. Every book is an adventure.
This was another book that required being read all night.
Rollins did a great job and never imagined it would go were it did. Couldn’t put it down, done in 2 days.
As a rule I enjoy all James Rollins Sigma Force novels. Rollins was (is) a veterinarian by profession before becoming a writer. He heavily researches and extrapolates science to enhance his plots. While he ventures into science fiction it is usually quite plausible. One of the few writers I will buy without reading a summary of the book.
Fast paced and thrilling read!
Another solid entry into the Sigma Force series.
Amazing that the author can keep on producing one great book after another. I can never get enough of his books!
Once again Mr Rollins hit it out of the park with this one. I have read everything he has written and can’t wait for more!
James Rollins’ books are always great! Action packed and unpredictable. He also develops his characters so we actually get to know them and care about them. The scariest part of this book is knowing that it’s actually possible!
Sigma Force ALWAYS saves the day!
James Rollins is always good!
I’ve read several of Mr. Rollins’ books and I’ve rarely been disappointed. His winning formula is to take a bit of science fact and then twist it with his fertile imagination to produce great page-turners. This book is a shining example of his special talent.
Always interesting to see where he goes with science.
This author is just great fun, interesting topics he writes of, he surely does his research.
Have fun and see if you can stop yourself from his work, I am addicted:)
