"The execution of a Vatican archivist within the shadow of the Kremlin exposes a conspiracy going back three centuries--to the bloody era of the Russian Tsars. Before his murder, he manages to dispatch a coded message, a warning of a terrifying threat, one tied to a secret buried within the Golden Library of Tsars, a vast and treasured archive that had vanished into history. As combative forces race for the truth behind this death and alarming discovery, Sigma Force is summoned to aid in the search--not only for this missing trove of ancient books, but to follow a trail far into the Arctic, to search for the truth about a lost continent and a revelation that could ignite a global war. But Sigma Force has its own difficulties at home after an explosive attack on the National Mall--one aimed at the heart of their covert agency--has left them vulnerable and exposed. The growing conflict--both on Russian soil and deep in the Arctic--will reignite a centuries-old war between the newly resurgent Russian Orthodox Church and the Vatican, while sabers rattle across the nations of the Arctic Circle, threatening to turn those icy seas into a fiery conflagration. Facing enemies on all sides, it will be up to Commander Gray Pierce and Sigma Force to unravel a mystery going back millennia--and uncover the truth about a lost civilization and an arcane treasure that could save the planet ... or destroy it."--Provided by publisher.

Rezensionen
"Science fiction and archaeology have had a long relationship. The link is a conviction that there is a hidden truth in the relics of dead civilizations...and that this can be uncovered by what we now know about science... The dominant figure in this area of fiction right now is James Rollins." - Wall Street Journal

"Rollins stuffs the narrative with globe-spanning combat, pulse-pounding suspense, and some satisfying puzzles to solve. Once readers catch their breath, they'll be eager to dive into the next installment." - Publishers Weekly

"James Rollins once again demonstrates his mastery of the genre with [Arkangel] . . . a strong contender for best book of 2024." - The Real Book Spy

"There's plenty of brisk action in this undersea yarn . . . . A solid Sigma Force adventure that's sure to please thriller fans." - Kirkus Reviews on Tides of Fire

"The X-Files meets Seal Team Six in Rollins's imaginative, pulse-pounding 17th Sigma Force thriller . . . . Rollins's gleeful everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach works well here, nimbly balancing popcorn action with mind-blowing scientific speculation. The author has rarely been better at making the implausible feel plausible." - Publishers Weekly on Tides of Fire

"Tides of Fire is an outstanding, high-octane read that will make you look at the world around you from a different point of view and should be treated as a cautionary tale about what our planet is capable of." - Bookreporter.com

"Master of the Doomsday scenario, James Rollins combines earthquakes, tsunamis, and the hellish fury of the Ring of Fire with the disappearance of a Chinese nuclear submarine to reveal...a hidden sea of ancient coral like nothing seen before on our planet-harboring Medusa's power to turn human flesh into stone. Another must-read Sigma Force thriller." - Steve Alten, bestselling author of The Meg, Meg 2: The Trench, and The Loch, on Tides of Fire

"After reading a James Rollins book, you come away not only exhilarated but having learned some valuable information in the process. Some have called him a successor to the late great Michael Crichton, and nowhere is this more evident than in Kingdom of Bones... Full of scientific adventure...extremely frightening...[Rollins] has transformed the subject matter into high-octane fiction that is impossible to put down or forget." - Bookreporter.com

"Nobody does this stuff better." - Lee Child
