At Princeton University, a famed geneticist dies inside a
biohazard lab. In Rome, a Vatican archaeologist is found
dead in St. Peters Basilica. In Africa, a US Senator's son
is slain outside a Red Cross camp. Three murders on three
continents bear a horrifying connection: all the victims
are marked by a Druidic pagan cross burned into their flesh.
The bizarre murders thrust Commander Gray Pierce and Sigma
Force into a race against time to solve a riddle going back
centuries, to a ghastly crime against humanity hidden within
a cryptic medieval codex. The first piece of the puzzle is
discovered inside a mummified corpse buried in an English
peat bog-a gruesome secret that threatens America and the
world.
Aided by two women from his past--one his ex-lover, the
other his new partner--Gray must piece together the
horrifying truth. But the revelations come at a high cost,
and to save the future, Pierce will have to sacrifice one of
the women at his side. That alone might not be enough, as
the true path to salvation is revealed in a dark prophecy of
doom.
Sigma Force confronts humankind's greatest threat in an
adventure that races from the Roman Coliseum to the icy
peaks of Norway, from theruins of medieval abbeys to the
lost tombs of Celtic kings. The ultimate nightmare is locked
within a talisman buried by a dead saint--an ancient
artifact known as the Doomsday Key.
