Sinossi
Una giovane donna irrompe nella casa di Grayson Pierce, agente segreto della Sigma, e sviene tra le sue braccia. Sconcertato, lui la riconosce all'istante: è Seichan, membro di spicco di una potente organizzazione terroristica. La donna è gravemente ferita e ha con sé un oggetto piccolo ma prezioso: un obelisco di pietra su cui sono incisi simboli di una lingua antichissima, addirittura antecedente ai geroglifici. Cosa significano quei segni? E chi vuole uccidere Seichan? In un'isola sperduta dell'arcipelago indonesiano, si diffonde un'epidemia devastante, che costringe le autorità sanitarie a requisire una lussuosa nave da crociera, in modo da isolare gli uomini e le donne contagiati da un virus letale e sconosciuto. Tuttavia, soltanto poche ore dopo, alcuni pirati abbordano la nave e, ignorando il ricchissimo bottino, concentrano invece la loro attenzione sugli individui infetti e sugli scienziati che stanno investigando sull'accaduto, tra i quali ci sono Lisa Cummings e Monk Kokkalis, agenti della Sigma. Perché quell'epidemia è così importante? E in quale modo è legata all'enigmatico obelisco e al misterioso viaggio di ritorno di Marco Polo dalla Cina, mai raccontato nel Milione? Da Washington al Sud-est asiatico, dal Vaticano a Istanbul, gli agenti della Sigma sono gli unici a poter scongiurare una minaccia che la Storia sembrava aver cancellato per sempre. Ma non potranno fidarsi di nessuno, perché chiunque, amico o nemico, potrebbe avere in sé il marchio di Giuda'

Earlier this year, I began reading the Sigma Force series written by James Rollins. I recall enjoying one of his books over a decade ago, but I couldn't remember which one... even though I wrote reviews on most of my past reads when I joined Goodreads, I didn't want to throw something out there when Leggi tutto
বইটা পড়ার আগেও জেমস রোলিন্সের বড় ভক্ত ছিলাম। এখন শেষ করার পর বলতে হবে যে মুগ্ধতা আরো বেড়েছে ওনার ওপর। তার বইগুলোয় সবচেয়ে বেশী যে ব্যাপারটা টানে আমাকে তা হল ফ্যাক্ট এবং ফিকশনের মিলবন্ধন। দুটোকে এমনভাবে মেশান তিনি যে কিছুক্ষণ পরপরই চোয়াল আপনা আপনি খুলে যায়। প্রতিটা বই থেকেই নতুন নতুন অনেক জিনিস Leggi tutto
James Rollins' novels generally remind me of some weird combination of Michael Crichton, Dan Brown, and Tom Clancy -- none of whom are among my favorite authors. Rollins is, though -- I love the combination of myth/legend, science, and intrigue. The Judas Strain starts with a viral outbreak, follows Leggi tutto
প্রথম ২০০ পেজ পড়ার সময় মোটেই প্রেডিক্ট করা সম্ভব ছিলনা পরবর্তী ২০০ পেজ এমন ব্লাস্টিং হতে পারে। রোলিন্স এর বই পড়তে পড়তে অভ্যাস হয়ে যাওয়ার কথা, তারপরও সারপ্রাইজড হই লেখে কিভাবে! যায় হোক, সিগমা ফোর্স এর সাথে আরেকটা অসাধারণ জার্নি। Leggi tutto
A friend recommended James Rollins to me as I like books by Dan Brown, and Steve Barry. I have read a couple of his books so far and am in complete agreement with my friend. I find that the books start off in a very exciting way and hold my attention throughout. In this book, The Judas Strain, I am
"Why the bubonic plague suddenly arose out of China's Gobi desert during the middle ages and slew a third of the world's population remains unknown. In fact, no one knows why so many plagues and influenza of the last century - SARS, the Avian flu- have arisen out of Asia. But what is known with fair Leggi tutto
