Commander Gray Pierce arrives home on Christmas Eve, only
to find out that Seichan, his pregnant lover is gone and
his best friend's wife Kat is on the brink of death. Kat
is the only one that saw the attack, but how to get
someone in a semi-comatose state to speak? A neurologist
may have the answer to that. Meanwhile, a terrified young
woman witnesses a massacre by a video link and realizes
that her invention is the reason for this and now she has
to run. These two events will link together and once
again Sigma must stop evil people out for destruction.
CRUCIBLE is the 14th book in the Sigma
Force
series. And, I've read every single one of the books and
I love this series. It's been a while since I read the
book, but the story made quite an impression on me and
now I'm just trying to gather my thoughts on how much to
reveal. As usual, James Rollins adds some interesting
technical aspects to the story. Then, we have Malleus
Maleficarum, the Hammer of Witches, the medieval text
about how to hunt witches. What has that to do with
today's story? Let's just say that there are some evil
people who have an agenda. And, Gray Pierce and the rest
must not only find Seichan, but they must also stop these
people from getting their hands on the invention. It's a
thrilling book, one of the strongest in the series.
James Rollins really knows how to write thrilling
adventure books so if that's your thing then you really
need to read this series!
In the race to save one of their own, Sigma Force must
wrestle with the deepest spiritual mysteries of mankind in
this mind-expanding adventure from the #1 New York
Times bestselling author, told with his trademark blend
of cutting edge science, historical mystery, and
pulse-pounding action.
Arriving home on Christmas Eve, Commander Gray Pierce
discovers his house ransacked, his pregnant lover missing,
and his best friend’s wife, Kat, unconscious on the kitchen
floor. With no shred of evidence to follow, his one hope to
find the woman he loves and his unborn child is Kat, the
only witness to what happened. But the injured woman is in a
semi-comatose state and cannot speak—until a brilliant
neurologist offers a radical approach to "unlock" her mind
long enough to ask a few questions.
What Pierce learns from Kat sets Sigma Force on a frantic
quest for answers that are connected to mysteries reaching
back to the Spanish Inquisition and to one of the most
reviled and blood-soaked books in human history—a Medieval
text known as the Malleus Maleficarum, the
Hammer of Witches. What they uncover hidden deep in
the past will reveal a frightening truth in the present and
a future on the brink of annihilation, and force them to
confront the ultimate question: What does it mean to have a
soul?
