About this ebook

In the race to save one of their own, Sigma Force must wrestle with the deepest spiritual mysteries of mankind in this mind-expanding adventure from #1 New York Times bestselling author James Rollins, told with his trademark blend of cutting edge science, historical mystery, and pulse-pounding action.

Arriving home on Christmas Eve, Commander Gray Pierce discovers his house ransacked, his pregnant lover missing, and his best friend’s wife, Kat, unconscious on the kitchen floor. With no shred of evidence to follow, his one hope to find the woman he loves and his unborn child is Kat, the only witness to what happened. But the injured woman is in a semi-comatose state and cannot speak—until a brilliant neurologist offers a radical approach to "unlock" her mind long enough to ask a few questions.

What Pierce learns from Kat sets Sigma Force on a frantic quest for answers that are connected to mysteries reaching back to the Spanish Inquisition and to one of the most reviled and blood-soaked books in human history—a Medieval text known as the Malleus Maleficarum, the Hammer of Witches. What they uncover hidden deep in the past will reveal a frightening truth in the present and a future on the brink of annihilation, and force them to confront the ultimate question: What does it mean to have a soul?

Excellent, everything I look for in a book! This is the best Sigma Force novel yet. Mr. Rollins does a fantastic job blending fact, fiction and humor into an exciting thriller. It took me through a range of emotions and resolved the way I'd hoped it would. Although if the outcome had been different I would have enjoyed it just as much. I need these novels to turn into a television/streaming series!! Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, someone get on this please!!!!!

Good story but a little too much AI. Plus, the angry lesbian talk doesn't add anything to the story. Normally a 4 star read. Not this time.
