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.
To be there first has always been the core mission of
Sigma Force, a covert team forged to be America's front
line against emerging threats. But this time, even Sigma
may not be able to decipher this deadly mystery, one that
traces back to the founding of the Smithsonian
Institution.
With each new discovery, the menace they hunt is
changing, growing, spreading?adapting and surviving every
attempt to stop it from reconquering a world it once
ruled. And each transformation makes it stronger . . .
and smarter.
Running out of time and options, Commander Grayson Pierce
will be forced to make an impossible choice. To eradicate
this extinction-level threat and expose those involved,
he will have to join forces with Sigma's greatest enemy--
the newly resurrected Guild?even it if means sacrificing
one of his own.
