born when the US
researchers and Sigma Force go after it as it shows a future picture of the
Eastern coast of the USA
in flames and rubble. Is this picture the satellite took an anomaly or one that
predicts the destruction of the world in less than four days? It will take the
combine forces of the elite Sigma Force led by Commander Gray Pierce as well as
Vatican
historians who race to find the satellite and see if they can beat the clock.
Four days and counting…can Sigma Force and its allies get the answers it needs
before time runs out?
Wow as I
write this review up, I am in absolute awe over this author. James Rollins is a
masterful storyteller, one that weaves historical facts as well as science into
his thrillers to keep the readers glued to the pages till the very end. I can
attest that his books can draw me in like no other can and leave me on the edge
of my seat with twists and turns in the storyline making me gasp out in shock.
Mr. Rollins’ latest Sigma Force novel delves into ancient prophecies, a glimpse
of a future that may or may not be true and your token bad guys trying to get
to the goods as well. But what is a bit different is the relationship the
characters have with one another. Gray finds himself dealing with his feelings
for former double agent Seichen and seeing his former girlfriend, Rachel,
brings up memories he finds confusing. Plus we got to meet some new characters
as well that added to the mix and brought different perspectives, strengths and
more to the story. This is an author who knows this world like the back of his
hand can slide right into it as he draws the readers in and delivers some
amazing character growth with each book in the series. I loved meeting up with
my old friends in Sigma Force as well as meeting some new ones who intrigued me
with their unique skill sets. The writing is top notch and delivers a story so
intriguing, so thrilling, you can’t put it down. I know I didn’t…not even to
eat something.
THE EYE OF GOD
delivers a one-two punch as your beloved characters find themselves at a crossroads
in life, as they race against the clock and find themselves outgunned at times.
The author does an amazing job in keeping you glued to the pages and I felt a
bit let down by the ending though I have to admit, it was an ending I sure
didn’t see coming. James Rollins is one of those auto-read authors I have that
whenever I find he has a new release coming; I count the days until it is out
just to get my fix. Though I do caution you, this is a story that is best read
in sequence of the series as you get more out of it and THE EYE OF GOD answers some questions left after
the last Sigma Force novel, Bloodline, left unanswered. This is definitely one
book I need to read again soon….especially after re-reading the Sigma Force
books again before I pick this one up again. Run-don’t walk-to grab this
intriguing book and settle in for an afternoon of madcap theories, edge of the
seat thrills and more when you pick up a Sigma Force Series novel. Now the
question is, can James Rollins top his newest story?
