3.5⭐A military research satellite crashed back to earth with something on it... oh yeah, this makes me think of Andromeda Strain. But Rollins' story is much more complex. First, it didn't crash in Arizona but in Mongolia and it holds some sort of dark energy that sees the end of the world. As humanity has merely days left to live, an elite globe-trotting ex special forces, Sigma Force is our last hope.I enjoy James Rollins' action adventure series, Sigma Force. There are soon to be 17 novels, Th...

The Eye of God is the 9th book in the Sigma Force thriller series written by James Rollins. I've read the earlier books in the series and am focused on catching up to the 2022 release this summer. In this installment, the gang of US secret operatives are looking for Seichan's mother in the Far East when a space satellite of some sort crashes into Mongolia. Images show the future destruction of Earth, which means Sigma must find the solution. Taking us all across the globe again, this adventure s...

James Rollins is one of the BEST when it comes to writing thrillers--and I think he is the best at writing techno-thrillers, in which science plays an important part of the plot. Crichton is up there, and Cussler, and, of course, Dan Brown. Others I could name are Steve Berry and Lincoln Child & Douglas Preston. But I like Rollins the best and this one, #9 in his Sigma Force series, is one of his best. We start with the crash of a satellite which was being used for a code-black physics proje...

James Rollins successfully combines, science, religion, history, and mythology once more. He is the master of the sci-fi archeological thriller. (AKA - the titillating technical tomb tome) The Sigma Force is tasked with saving the world from the destructive effects of dark energy emitted from a passing comet. The key to their mission is linked to the wanderings of St. Thomas and the conquests of Genghis Khan. As with past Sigma novels, Rollins incorporates far-flung and less common locations int...

James Rollins is one of my favorite authors. When it comes to adventure books he is truly a marvelous writer and he writes books that you hardly can put down until you have finished it. This book is not an exception. All of my favorite characters are back; Crowe, Pierce, Monk, Kowalski, and of course, my absolute favorite Seichan. The world is in danger and they have to save it and doing it they cross the world looking for Genghis Khan's tomb. The pace is fast and the story intriguing, and the e...

The author's note at the end of the book almost made me rate this a star higher. However, I suffered far too much boredom before I got to that point for that to happen. It's ashame really. I absolutely loved "Amazonia" by the same Author and in that book I bought every high-flying idea presented. Perhaps it's the fact that I haven't read any other "Sigma Force" novel. I didn't know the characters from previous encounters and that was a huge handicap. I didn't care much about either the good guys...

There are several similarities between James Rollins' THE EYE OF GOD and Dan Brown's INFERNO -- most noticeably, both novels are a race against time to save humanity and both are steeped in ancient history with abundant mysteries and exotic locales.I'd suggest however that THE EYE OF GOD succeeds far more than INFERNO for the following reasons: one, the pacing is relentless -- where Brown bogs down with laborious descriptions of artwork, Rollins paints vivid images with sparse prose that allows ...

(See expanded review at: https://mgbookreviews.wordpress.com/2...)The Eye of God is James Rollins’ most recent Sigma Force novel, and it delivers an exciting science thriller story based on theories about dark energy and the history of Genghis Khan. Unfortunately, this was not one of the stronger books of the series. While I would give it a solid three stars as I quite enjoyed reading it, the novel suffers from some plot and character issues that made it a little less entertaining than previous ...

AMAZING! The Eye of God by James Rollins is EVERYTHING. Having read all the previous Sigma Force novels as well as all the other Rollins individual adventures I have been highly anticipating this novel. It is by far the best!in the series! Rollins once again takes you on a non-stop full throttle adventure across the globe in a race against time to save the world. Using excellent locations, multiple plot lines, and history, science, technology, and adventure to create a story that is top notch. H...

Damn you James Rollins! Damn you!! Why did you have to make the ending so frekking heartbreaking and painful?! I was just looking for a quick timepass entertainment, I was NOT ready for this emotionally draining, heavy-hearted finishing in the end! I like to think of myself as the manliest male there can be, but even I couldn't help feeling the wetness in the corner of my eyes, or the twisting in my gut, witnessing two of my favorite characters, with whom I had known and grown to feel like real ...
