Sinossi
Un gruppo di individui, vestiti da monaci, fa irruzione nella cattedrale di Colonia durante la celebrazione di una messa solenne, uccide tutti i presenti e s'impadronisce delle reliquie custodite in un sarcofago sotto l'altare: le ossa dei re Magi. Per il segretario di Stato vaticano non ci sono dubbi: quella strage è un attacco al cuore della Cristianità e i suoi responsabili vanno fermati prima che altri spaventosi sacrilegi siano compiuti. Ma nessuna forza di polizia ufficiale può risolvere un caso tanto cruento e apparentemente incomprensibile, e infatti il Vaticano incarica delle indagini monsignor Veroni, agente del servizio segreto della Santa Sede, e sua nipote Sara, tenente dei carabinieri esperta nei furti di oggetti sacri...

Recensioni
Map of Bones is an action adventure tale, combining both ancient secret societies, a la Dan Brown, and other secret societies, a la...well... Ian Fleming.

The focus shifts from Painter Crowe to Grayson Pierce now, although Painter does appear in many scenes. Grayson leads a team to p Leggi tutto
Historical fiction mixed with physics and religious conspiracy. Rollins gives a complex narrative and entertaining at the same time.
Solid speculative fiction and historical thriller. Will look for more in this series.
What a terrible, incredibly long dribble this is. Many of the people who've rated this book poorly have pointed out the many failings within it. The entire plot is absolutely ridiculous: You have an implausible group of so-called geniuses who also happen to be -supposedly- super agents, James Bond typ Leggi tutto
This is the first book by James Rollins that I was going to read, then I learned that there was a series, so I read the first book, "Sandstorm", first and then returned to this. You don't really HAVE to read the first two books in any order I think because there is little that is actually spoiled in Leggi tutto
My first and still fav from the Sigma series. The science mixed with history is interesting albeit sometimes goes a little over the realism edge but still entertaining. Keep em coming.

সিগমার প্রথম বই পড়ার পর আমার সন্দেহ ছিল সেইম প্যাটার্নে হয়তো বাকি বই গুলো হবে আর আস্তে আস্তে তা বোরিং লাগবে। জেমস রলিন্স যে এত অসাধারণ আর ইউনিক ভাবে সেকেন্ড বইটা লিখেছে তাতে আমার নেক্সট ১৫ টা বই নিয়ে এক্সাইটমেন্ট আরো অনেক বেড়ে গেলো! কঠিন কঠিন সাইন্টিফিক থিওরি গুলো এত সহজে ভাষায় বোঝানোর ক্ষমতা ছ Leggi tutto
