During a crowded service at a cathedral in Germany, armed intruders in monks'' robes unleash a nightmare of blood and destruction. But the killers have not come for gold; they seek a more valuable prize: the bones of the Magi who once paid homage to a newborn savior . . . a treasure that could reshape the world.

With the Vatican in turmoil, SIGMA Force leaps into action. An elite team of scientific and Special Forces operatives under the command of Grayson Pierce and accompanied by Lieutenant Rachel Verona of Rome''s carabinieri, they are pursuing a deadly mystery that weaves through sites of the Seven Wonders of the World and ends at the doorstep of an ancient, mystical, and terrifying secret order. For there are those with dark plans for the stolen sacred remains that will alter the future of humankind . . . when science and religion unite to unleash a horror not seen since the beginning of time.

The bones lead to ancient mysteries and present-day terror . . . To follow them means death.

It has been a while since I read a novel by this author and I quite liked it. This one is actually he 1st book in the Sigma Force series, which helped me understand it more, as I already read books that are further down in the series. For some people, it might remind them of the novels written by Dan Brown, but I will say this – the ones written by James Rollins are far better in every way than those written by Dan Brown. I liked the pace set by the main protagonists, how they deal with their adversaries, and simply how the author writes it: simple yet effective and knows how to grab the reader’s attention. I am looking forward to read more books in the series!

Send along with some goodies, for a birthday :)

Hope everything will be liked!

Thanks so much for remembering my birthday! Looking forward to reading this.
