About this listen

A construction project beneath the National Mall reveals a dark secret dating back to the Civil War, something buried by a cabal of scientists, led by Alexander Graham Bell, who helped found the Smithsonian Institution. It is a cache of bones, preserved in amber, protecting a wonder like no other, the very secret of life after death. But such a prize is guarded by a horror out of the ancient past, a horror that still lives in the marrow of those bones - and is now free again.

From a crystalline lab atop Mount Fuji to an island off of Hawaii teeming with what's been called the "dark matter of life", Sigma Force must solve a mystery going back eons, to when life first took root on this planet. But the menace is spreading, changing, growing, adapting, outwitting every attempt to stop it. It means to retake a world it once ruled.

For Sigma Force to stop it, Commander Grayson Pierce will have to do the unthinkable: team up with Sigma's greatest enemy - the newly resurrected Guild - even it if means sacrificing one of their own.

Addictive listening

I discovered James Rollins and the Sigma Force books at a car boot sale in Pateley Bridge several years ago. I read the first 6 books out of sequence but this didn't spoil my enjoyment.

This story is compelling, especially ad I am listening during a global pandemic - covid 19 (the irony not lost). I'm greeted by familiar characters who I am invested in. New characters are engaging even horrific. The wasps of course are terrifying and the concept of such an infestation and global crisis equally horrendous.

This is my first time listening to a sigma force novel, the narration immediately drawing me in.

I look forward to the next novel, and feel the urge to buy every book in audio version (although not every book is available yet).

Thoroughly enjoyed this, I'm sure I'll listen again maybe when I'm "reading" or listening in order.

Would be better with a different reader

The storey is ok but would better if read normally and not with the accents the reader try’s to put on for each character. It’s really annoying!
