READ THE REST OF THE REVIEW OVER AT FRESH FICTION! ********* Oh, a new Sigma Force book out this summer winter! The opening scene, set in 38,000 BC, involves a man fleeing pursuers to protect his "special" daughter, which portends the basic plotline. Twin sisters are involved in a human genome experiment to breed a "thinking" gorilla (Baako), when they are mysteriously attacked by the Chinese. Joe Kowalski, one sister and Baako are kidnapped, while the other sister narrowly escapes an assault in a Croatian cave system, where Gray Pierce and Seichan are able to rescue her. As always, Rollins spins a creative, scientific trail into the forests of South America, the Beijing zoo and the Himalayas, including ethical questions of breeding and animal experimentation. Good characters, with some heart-wrenching scenes. Another strong book in the Sigma Force series. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: A war is coming, a battle that will stretch from the prehistoric forests of the ancient past to the cutting-edge research labs of today, all to reveal a true mystery buried deep within our DNA, a mystery that will leave readers changed forever . . . In this groundbreaking masterpiece of ingenuity and intrigue that spans 50,000 years in human history, New York Times bestselling author James Rollins takes us to mankind's next great leap. But will it mark a new chapter in our development . . . or our extinction? In the remote mountains of Croatia, an archaeologist makes a strange discovery: a subterranean Catholic chapel, hidden for centuries, holds the bones of a Neanderthal woman. In the same cavern system, elaborate primitive paintings tell the story of an immense battle between tribes of Neanderthals and monstrous shadowy figures. Who is this mysterious enemy depicted in these ancient drawings and what do the paintings mean? Before any answers could be made, the investigative team is attacked, while at the same time, a bloody assault is made upon a primate research center outside of Atlanta. How are these events connected? Who is behind these attacks? The search for the truth will take Commander Gray Pierce of Sigma Force 50,000 years into the past. As he and Sigma trace the evolution of human intelligence to its true source, they will be plunged into a cataclysmic battle for the future of humanity that stretches across the globe . . . and beyond. With the fate of our future at stake, Sigma embarks on its most harrowing odyssey everâ??a breathtaking quest that will take them from ancient tunnels in Ecuador that span the breadth of South America to a millennia-old necropolis holding the bones of our ancestors. Along the way, revelations involving the lost continent of Atlantis will reveal true mysteries tied to mankind's first steps on the moon. In the end, Gray Pierce and his team will face to their greatest threat: an ancient evil, resurrected by modern genetic science, strong enough to bring about the end of man's dominance on this planet. Only this time, Sigma will falterâ??and the world we know will change forever Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
