6th book in sigma force series. I would say that the main theme of the book is quite interesting. characters have interesting dialog and we move along to different historical locations so it makes it a nice entertaining book.

Not my favourite in this series. The book had some atmospheric moments, but generally, it just felt way too similar to the other books in the series. But hey, it is still good fun, but just seems to follow a recipe now.

Sigma Force. Bissl Pseudo-Science, viel Action und dazwischen etwas persönliches Drama in einem Team. Fertig. Für Fans von Dan Brown (vielleicht auch Preston&Child, aber uff, sind die mittlerweile schlecht geworden), aber militärischer. Die Reihe beginnt eigentlich mit Sandstorm, man kann aber ohne Probleme auch mit einem späteren Buch einsteigen. Sie sind in sich abgeschlossen genug. Mein Einstieg war Band 10: The 6th Extinction (Deutsch: Projekt Chimera, warum auch immer), das ging wunderbar. Dann das hier (5. Band) und Band 1. Bis auf ein paar persönliche Entwicklungen verpasst man nicht viel. Sind die einem wichtig, sollte man mit Sandstorm beginnen. 3 bis 4 Sterne. 3 allgemein, 4, wenn man es mit ähnlichen Büchern vergleicht.

Another fun thriller from Rollins that expertly and deftly combines interesting pieces from the historical record with modern science--and, of course, a healthy dose of guns, explosions, and intrigue. Small lesson learned: Reading two of the Sigma Force novels so close was probably not such a great idea. Although they are fun, reading one so soon after the other just made the formulaic nature of Rollins' novels quite glaring.
