To save mankind's future, the members of Sigma Force must
make a devil's bargain as they join forces with their most
hated enemy to stop an ancient threat in this gripping
adventure from #1 New York Times bestselling author
James Rollins.
THE DEMON CROWN
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.
