I really enjoy this series--it's like Dan Brown, but more layered and elevated.

An adventure book that doesn't disappoint. He brings up interesting topics based on historical facts - who doesn't love that? And more than the other books by him, it left me wanting to learn more about Sigma and the Guild. Interesting and exciting themes.
By reading Doomsday Key, I learned some new facts, for example about the Global Seed Vault in Svalbard. At the end of Rollins' books, I always enjoy reading what of the plot is imagination and what is the scientifically proven truth. He also always recommends expert literature through which he studied a particular concept or topic. This time, it was the conflicts between Celts and Christians, the disappearance of bees (id est, the reduction of their number and the causes of their disappearance), Avalon, overpopulation of Earth and eugenics ... for this reason it is always interesting to read his books.
And the book itself ... great, tense till the last minute. Imagination and truth are entwined all the time. This time especially I had the impression that I was reading modern Indiana Jones (tombstones, levers that open the secrets, puzzles which, if you are wrong, open the door through which you fall on deadly spikes...). I really enjoyed reading it.
Čitajući Doomsday Key i opet sam naučila neke nove činjenice, recimo o Globalnoj banci sjemena na Svalbardu. Uvijek volim i na kraju Rollinsovih knjiga pročitati što je u knjizi priča, a što znanstveno dokazana istina. Čovjek nam lijepo preporuči i stručnu literaturu kroz koju je proučavao određeni pojam ili temu. Ovaj put su to bili sukobi Kelta i kršćana, nestanak pčela (tj. smanjenje njihovog broja i razlozi zbog kojih nestaju), Avalon, prenaseljenost Zemlje i eugenika.... zbog toga mi je uvijek zanimljivo čitati njegove knjige.
A sama knjiga... odlična, napeta do zadnjeg trena. U njoj se stalno isprepliću mašta i istina, a posebno u ovom dijelu imala sam dojam da čitam modernog Indiana Jonesa (šuljanje po grobnicama, poluge koje otvaraju tajne prolaze, zagonetke koje ako ih krivo odgonetneš otvaraju vrata kroz koja padaš na šiljke...). Stvarno knjiga za uživanciju.

This book was amazing. It started out with gripping action that never let up. Three murders all with a pagan cross burned into their skin. Amazing action and adventure about a threat to America and the world. An artifact known as the doomsday key. Add to that the strain of working with his ex and his new partner. Excellent book.
I love reading the author's notes to readers: truth or fiction at the back of these books. It's amazing what is really true and how he integrates them into the story.
