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. Thoroughly enjoyed the book, even if a good 10% went over my head! I'm sure if I slowed down and truly focused on every word, meaning, and implication, I might understand the technical details way more... but I'm a reader and a lover of a...

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 large number of side characters here that also takes some time to place them in their places and importance in the story. Overall I have to call it a very enjoyable read though it was a bit too long. O...

Real Rating: 3.75* of fiveON SALE TODAY 5 OCTOBER 2021 FOR $1.99 ON KINDLE! I read this while I was in the goofy garage during 2014. My delightful friends supported my reading habit, and never once wondered (to me, that is, I have no idea what they said amongst themselves!) why I was asking for Rollins's books.I wanted to read them because they are very entertaining, have enough plot and character development to keep me distracted from being in a public mental health facility, and are intensely ...

In this 7th 'Sigma Force' novel, the fate of the entire world is at stake. The book can be read as a standalone.*****The premise of this thriller is that, in the very distant past American Indians buried some kind of nanotechnology-fueled doomsday devices around the Earth in an attempt to save mankind from their destructive power.In the present day a couple of anthropologists innocently unearth one of these devices setting off a chain reaction that could destroy the Earth. Sigma Force (a group o...

James Rollins is a brilliant writer. His works lure you through adventurous and historical events, both factual and fictional, that makes the readers feel like they are actually there, side by side with the Sigma Force of Monk, Kat, Painter Crowe, Gray and the Guild villains. I loved this book particularly because it centers on our founders (founding fathers) and the history of the growing claims of the United States, the Louisiana Purchase, Indian tribes, links between the bloodlines of our peo...

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!

At the outset of this review, I need to make a couple of things clear:1. I was asked by the PR dept. at Harper Collins if I would accept a free copy of this book and review it. I imagine they asked me (along with other Mormon writers/bloggers) to do this due to the book's subject matter including Mormons and Mormon history. I accepted, without any strings attached.2. There exists no agreement that I would necessarily review this book favorably. The review below is my honest appraisal of this boo...

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 what James Rollins has inside this novel plus a lot more.If you want to hear him talk about it as an added bonus , go to the archives of The G-ZONE, my blogtalk radio show, from Monday and listen in...

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 what you see in the mega-thriller genre. Man, I gotta take notes. But I was too busy enjoying a terrific story the first time through. Gotta read some more SIGMA FORCE.

The Devil Colony : Where Ancient Secrets Meet Modern ThrillsLet 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 with actual science that doesn't make you roll your eyes. The best part? It's set right here in the U.S., where Rollins' elite Sigma team finds themselves tangled in a mystery that stretches back to ...
