awesome...and scary. I think I already learned about a hundred new things halfway through the book.

I enjoyed this book, especially at the time of reading, we happened to be in the middle of the Covid-19 crisis. The opening few paragraphs are particularly chilling and one wonders how James Rollins predicted the current world events so accurately, right down to the virus being caused by a bat.
The book seemed a bit longer than some of his others, but the pace was spot on.

As with the rest of his novels, I absolutely loved 'The Judas Strain.' Rollins has an incredible ability to combine obscure bits of historical facts, modern science, and general special forces shtick into intelligent, fun, incredibly interesting thrillers. And, he's not a half-bad writer, to boot. Highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys high-paced action, and a plot whose basis is only a half-step away from plausible.

At least my third or fourth read. While formulaic, the Sigma Force books never fail to entertain. This one has some well due character development.

Non-stop action. This book just kept moving along and it was really hard to put down. Curse the need to sleep! With this being the fourth in a series, I'm already vested in the characters, but Rollins keeps developing them which is great. A realy good read!

The Sigma Force series gets better with each book. Though I'm re-reading the series from the start, I found The Judas Strain to be a great read the second time around.
