A Norwegian billionaire and philanthropist is determined to save the earth by decreasing its human biomass. He has resurrected an ancient fungus from the 11th Century that will be genetically modified into all the grains that are being grown around the world. People will starve with food in their bellies. He partners with the Guild to realize his vision. It’s up to Sigma to figure out what he’s up to and find an antidote. To do that they follow a trail through medieval England involving Druids, Celts, and saints to the world’s seed depository on the remote Norwegian island of Svalbard. Lots of action and twisting paths to achieve the end state.

So not his best, but this will not stir me away from him. Liked Kowalski a lot more in this one. I want one of those Teddy bears! And the whole Seichan and Gray love triangle was a bit more interesting this time around, and you never know who he ends up sleeping with at the end! I want to know more. Some dull points in the book not as powerful as his first few. And to be honest, the times when I did set it down I totally forgot what was going on. I kept slurring and mushing all his previous ones together. I think it was because this one wasn't as good and I've been reading the series all in a row.
From bees to world starvation to Celtic crosses to dead bodies with mushrooms growing INSIDE of them, this book had your head spinning from one side of the earth to the freezing cold Norway to France. Another one of Rollins' whirlwind of a science fiction books that actually turns out to be true.

Yet another excellent installment in the Sigma series. I absolutely love the characters and the unusual topics that these books cover. I find myself researching the facts included and adding many of Rollins' suggested readings to my TBR list. I dread the day that I am caught up with this series and have to wait for the next one.

This is a great installment in the Sigma Force series featuring Painter Crowe and Gray Pierce. The plot was well structured, quick-moving and full of action. It advanced some of the continuing plotlines concerning the personal lives of the main characters, including Gray and Monk Kokkalis, as well as the plot concerning Sigma's growing adversity to the shadowy organization known as "the Guild". At the same time, the plot completely stood on its own so that this book was not just a bookmark in a larger story.
