Sinossi
Centinaia di cadaveri mummificati in una caverna e, al centro, un piedistallo con sopra un teschio d’oro: è questo lo spettacolo che si presenta a due esploratori all’interno di una riserva indiana nello Utah. Un’esplosione distrugge la caverna e i sospetti ricadono su Kai, una giovane attivista per i diritti dei nativi americani. La ragazza si rivolge all’unica persona in grado di dimostrare la sua innocenza, suo zio Painter Crowe, direttore della Sigma – una sezione occulta del dipartimento della Difesa statunitense – che insieme al collega Grayson Pierce inizia le indagini. Capiranno subito che quella misteriosa necropoli e il teschio sono solo il primo indizio di un segreto inquietante…

The Devil Colony : Where Ancient Secrets Meet Modern Thrills Let me tell you about a book that kept me up way too late for three nights straight. It's James Rollins' The Devil Colony , and trust me, this isn't your average thriller. Think of it as National Treasure meets Mission: Impossible , but
Sigma Force #7, The Devil Colony, by James Rollins is an intense ride through Native American and Colonial history, touching on nanotechnology, the truth behind the Declaration of Independence signers, volcanoes, and the secrets of the people running The Guild.

I imagine they asked me (along with other Mormon writers/bloggers) to do this due to the book's subject matter including Mo Leggi tutto
Consider this: 14 arrows in a bundle, nanotubes, Indians, Lewis & Clark, Sigma Force, Thomas Jefferson, 5 guys in a painting that aren’t supposed to be there, Ben Franklin, a buffalo hide, Jewish settlers and Mormons. What are you going to do with all? Hunh? I mean seriously! Well that is exactly wh Leggi tutto
I read this book a couple of years ago and it's brilliant, my favorite book in this series. Btw this series is awesome! Read it!
The mysteries and excitement here... like the founding of America, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, the Native American peoples, the Book of Mormon, and nanotechnology are all plots that fit well into the Sigma story frame that fans of this series have come to expect and look forward to. There is a l Leggi tutto
Not my usual genre, but gave it a try on Lee Child's recomm. Wow! Awed by the multiple subplots, multiple historical angles, multiple characters and the sheer number of balls Rollins keeps in the air while maintaining a jet-propelled storyline. And his characters have a LOT more depth than most of w Leggi tutto
