Book Description
================
At Princeton University, a famed geneticist dies inside a biohazard 
lab. In Rome, a Vatican archaeologist is found dead in St. Peter's Basilica. 
In Africa, a U.S. senator's son is slain outside a Red Cross camp. The 
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 and to a 
ghastly crime against humanity hidden within a cryptic medieval codex.-

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, Gray 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. The ultimate nightmare is locked within 
a talisman buried by a dead saint, an ancient artifact known as the 
Doomsday Key.


From Publishers Weekly
Bestseller Rollins's labyrinthine sixth Sigma Force thriller (after The Last Oracle) offers 
plenty of intriguing science and history lessons. Sigma Force director Painter Crowe gathers the 
usual crew—Cmdr. Grayson Pierce; Pierce's best friend, Monk Kokkalis; lumbering Joe Kowalski—to 
discover why an experimental agriculture site in Africa has been attacked and razed, killing everyone, 
including a U.S. senator's son. The future of mankind may depend, they learn, on the Doomsday key, 
a strange substance brought to England long ago by ancient Egyptians that holds the promise of a new 
and powerful medicine. A few of the book's many highlights include genetic manipulation, traitorous 
beautiful women, illuminated manuscripts, saints, prophecies, curses and miracles. Rollins deftly 
juggles all this and more as the Sigma team races from the depths of the Vatican to the outer reaches 
of Norway toward an explosive confrontation with the shadowy forces of evil known as the Guild. (June)

Review
"Rollins's prose explodes off the page in a twisty and compelling thriller....Swashbuckling adventure, 
elite team effort, and religious symbology all add up to another gripping andterrifying read....An amazing 
and brilliant technothriller that might be his best to date. (Library Journal (starred review) )

"This guy doesn't write novels-he builds roller coasters....Rollins excels at combining action and history 
with larger-than-life characters....A must for pure action fans." (Booklist )
