Off the coast of Brazil, a team of scientists discovers a horror like no other, an island where all life has been eradicated, consumed and possessed by a species beyond imagination. Before they can report their discovery, a mysterious agency attacks the group, killing them all, save one, an entomologist, an expert on venomous creatures, Professor Ken Matsui from Cornell University. Strangest of all, this inexplicable threat traces back to a terrifying secret buried a century ago beneath the National Mall: a cache of bones preserved in amber. The artifact was hidden away by a cabal of scientists - led by Alexander Graham Bell - to protect humankind. But they dared not destroy it, for the object also holds an astonishing promise for the future: the very secret of life after death. Yet, nothing stays buried forever. An ancient horror - dormant in the marrow of those preserved bones - is free once more, nursed and developed into a weapon of incalculable strength and malignancy, ready to wreak havoc on an unsuspecting world. To stop its spread, Commander Grayson Pierce of Sigma Force must survive a direct attack on the island of Maui.

Same plot getting old submitted by steveiew on June 19, 2018, 3:14pm If you have read any of the other Sigma Force novels this plot will feel a bit redundant. On their own each book is good but after awhile of following the series I'm getting a little tired of everything happening the same way in each book. Of course the team is always in danger, no matter where they turn. Of course there is a traitor in the group. Of course there is some form of a love story that develops. Rollins needs to flip the script more to get me to keep reading.
