While the Americans have been working on the atomic bomb, the Nazis were delving into the paradoxical tenets of quantum mechanics. What would thriller writers do without the Nazis? At the start of Rollins's inventive eighth Sigma Force novel, a secret experiment is smuggled out of Berlin in the waning days of WWII.

If you like all-stops-out, high-concept adventure, this one's for you. Why Hollywood hasn't snapped his books up yet is a mystery, but it's doubtful any big-screen version could capture the author's gung-ho enthusiasm and intellectual curiosity. Rollins keeps getting better with every novel, and his fast-paced thrillers are feasts for the imagination. The author interweaves these stories, following the Sigma Force team members as they risk their lives to get to the heart of one of humankind's greatest mysteries: the origins of life itself. In South Africa, a mythological beast is apparently alive and well and preying on wildlife. In Denmark, someone is buying up rare historical documents connected to Victorian scientists (for instance, Charles Darwin's family Bible), and the purchaser is desperate enough to kill for his prizes. In Nepal, a strange plague has struck a remote Himalayan monastery, and a Nazi swastika is found on a cave wall.
The globe-trotting adventurers of Sigma Force, that elite American special-ops team, return in this high-powered thriller.
