Crucible: A Thriller by James Rollins
4.0
An action-packed thriller with fanatical cults, sentient intelligence, and characters that will go to endless lengths to protect their families, CRUCIBLE is an exciting military adventure that long-time fans of James Rollins are sure to love.
Commander Gray Pierce and his best friend Monk have their worlds shaken when their lovers and children are attacked and kidnapped. While mounting a desperate rescue op, Sigma Force finds themselves facing off with a doomsday cult bent on using an incredibly powerful AI system to end the world.
CRUCIBLE can be read by longtime fans and new readers who don't want to read the entire series. There are clear references and Easter eggs, but I found that I could understand everything that was happening without previous knowledge. The characters are entertaining and adapt to truly terrible situations, pushing themselves to the limits. The story is fast paced and exciting, even as it enters truly mind bending territory.
A perfect read for anyone who is looking for something fast, entertaining, and filled with action!
