Well as a Mormon there was some laughable stuff in there, and for most of the book he had Joseph Smith's name as John Smith, but it was entertaining enough. Some unnecessary sacrilege near the end though.

We are off on another adventure with the Sigma Force gang in The Devil Colony.
These days I'm mostly listening to audiobooks and this is a great book to have in the background when I'm doing chores.
The action and the pace is fast with the story jumping between various locations and perspective.
The Sigma Force is the series I pick up when I'm looking for an action-filled, and easy listen.

Another fascinating and unique fusion of science and history with Native Americans, Mormons, Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson, and nanotechnology. Sigma races the Guild to acquire ancient nanotechnology that if handled improperly could trigger a mass extinction event. Fast paced, suspend belief. Visualize Nicholas Cage.

Wow...this is the FIRST time that Rollins has ever made me feel like this!
Mind you, I love him. I love his writing style, his topics that he writes about, and his characters.
But this book...man, this book, right here...phew!
One, I'm not too keen on the whole idea about Mormonism, it kind of rubbed me the wrong way. (Not that there is ANYTHING wrong with that religion! To each one's own!) But how everything was wrapped up so tightly and weighted so much on that one religion...little bit freaky!
Two, I love stories of the Founding Fathers, Free Masons, cryptic codes, Thomas Jefferson, and the beginning of our wonderful country.
Three, So much happens with the characters in this book and their own personal developments!
Four, I really REALLY hated Kai. And why the heck is Painter Crowe out running around? Aren't you getting too old for this sh*t? (Danny Glover accent, from Lethal Weapon 1, 2, 3 & 4)
Five, I always love it when Rollins makes the animals live. :)
This was a good book, but for whatever reason I just felt like "meh..."
I liked that we got some more history about what the "oldest family ever" pretty much and who's really who. GASP at the end, I swear I did. It was that everything, pretty much besides Ice Land and Japan super lab, took place in America. But they way I felt about this book....I don't know, I can't quite put my finger on it.
It took me FOREVER to read! And that's a first. I have a lot of schooling going on now, but even still. It took me quite some time.
I will definitely read the next one in the series, but I really don't want to wait another two years for it!

Loved all the American history mystery. Love the characters. I'm going to be lost when I finish the last one in this series.

Good action, but I struggled with my suspension of disbelief with this one a bit. Decent beach book.

More adventures for the teams from Sigma. Another race against the group that has been causing them so much trouble, seemingly going back to the very founding of the United States. Never before have they faced such a cataclysmic threat if they fail.

I liked this book as much as any other Sigma Force book. However, one thing did bug me. Some clues in the book are hidden in a well known painting hanging in the Capitol. There is a clue to which painting indicating the painter was John TURNbull. But the painting, which is real and does hang in the Rotunda, is actually by John TRUMbull. How did that get by the editor, or Mr. Rollins? I mean, Trumbull is not a nobody, he painted several of the Founding Fathers and one painting is used as the back of the Two-Dollar Bill.
