From the depths of the Indian Ocean, a horrific plague has arisen to devastate humankind. But it is merely a harbinger of the doom that is to follow. Aboard a cruise liner transformed into a makeshift hospital, Dr. Lisa Cummings and Monk Kokkalis, operatives of SIGMA Force, search for answers to the bizarre affliction. But there are others with far less altruistic intentions. In a savage and sudden coup, terrorists hijack the vessel, turning a mercy ship into a floating bio-weapons lab. A world away, SIGMA's Commander Gray Pierce thwarts the murderous schemes of a beautiful would-be killer who holds the first clue to the discovery of a possible cure, then joins forces with the woman who wanted him dead. As a relentless madman dogs their every step, Gray and his unlikely ally are pulled into an astonishing mystery buried deep in antiquity and in humanity's genetic code.--From publisher description.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

One of the Better Sigma Force Installments submitted by ecria7 on August 5, 2008, 9:22am If you have read any of author James Rollins' books, especially any in his "Sigma Force" series, I would definitely recommend this book. After reading "Sandstorm", "The Black Order", "Map of Bones", and finally "Judas Strain", this last one was my favorite. This book has more scientific, medical, forensic-type subjects, whereas, his other books have more historical leanings. I also found this novel to be one the more suspense-filled stories.

One of the best of the series submitted by steveiew on June 27, 2018, 10:50am This book is one of the best in the Sigma Force series. It has some historical elements like all of the Sigma Novels but it also focuses more on forensics and science than other books. This book was filled with suspense.
