Description

In the latest riveting thriller from James Rollins, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sigma Force series, an international research station in the Coral Sea comes under siege during a geological disaster that triggers massive quakes, deadly tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. To stop the world from burning, it’s up to Sigma Force to uncover a secret buried at the heart of our planet. 

The Titan Project—an international research station off the coast of Australia—discovers a thriving zone of life in an otherwise dead sea. The area teems with a strange bioluminescent coral that defies science, yet holds great promise for the future. But the loss of a military submarine in the area triggers a brutal attack and sets in motion a geological disaster that destabilizes an entire region.

Massive quakes, volcanic eruptions, and deadly tsunamis herald a greater cataclysm to come—for something is stirring miles under the ocean, a threat hidden for millennia.

As seas turn toxic and coastlines burn, can Sigma Force stop what has been let loose—especially as an old adversary returns, hunting them and thwarting their every move? For any hope of success, Commander Gray Pierce must search for a key buried in the past, hidden deep in Aboriginal mythology. But what Sigma could uncover is even more frightening—something that will shake the very foundations of humanity.

  • So tedious I couldn’t force myself to finish the last 20%

    Enjoyed all of these Sigma Force books in the past. This was really difficult to finish. Too many confusing characters, too convoluted a storyline. Picked it up and put it down ten times. Finally just gave up after suffering through the first 80%.

     I thought the the premise was really very good. I gave the lower rating because there was too much technical jargon throughout the book that often left me confused.
  • 20% Sigma Force - 80% “The Abyss” meets “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea”

    It’s underwater sci-fi masquerading as a Sigma Force adventure. The Sigma Force characters only have around 20% of the pages.

    I’m happy to report that this was an enjoyable book. As a geologist, it was fun to see my field in science fiction.
