Arkangel
(Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
Currently in development as a TV series from Amazon MGM Studios, a story of a thrilling hunt around the globe, pitting nation against nation, as ancient myths of a lost continent prove all too real—the latest novel in the bestselling Sigma Force series from James Rollins, #1 New York Times master of international thrillers
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.

Mysteries buried on a lost continent animate Rollins’s action-packed 18th adventure for SIGMA Force (after Tides of Fire). When the agency’s secret headquarters under the Smithsonian Institution are bombed, commander Gray Pierce and his girlfriend, assassin Seichan, suspect their nemesis, Russian agent Valya Mikhailov. Their suspicions deepen when a Vatican archivist is murdered after delivering a message to his superiors about the Golden Library, a priceless trove of books hidden away by Ivan the Terrible. The volumes are said to contain secrets that could restore Russia to its former glory. While a dormant rivalry between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Vatican flares up after the archivist’s murder, Gray and his team search for the supposedly lost island of Hyperborea in the East Siberian Sea, the rumored home of the Golden Library. 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. Agent: Russ Galen, Scovil Galen Gosh Literary.

Rollins' Sigma Force series began with 2004's Sandstorm and now numbers 18 books. It's a remarkably consistent series, too: each book is a thrilling adventure, well told. In the newest volume, Arkangel, the murder of a Vatican archivist in Russia is the spark that threatens to light the world on fire; a centuries-old conspiracy emerges from the shadows; a holy war looms. The only people who can stop the world from falling into chaos? Commander Gray Pierce and his Sigma Force team, a group of people with unique skills who travel the world to protect it. Rollins is a terrific writer; his prose is energetic and explosive, his dialogue lean, and his characters ever so slightly larger-than-life. This is the kind of series that could go on for many more years. A television series based on the Sigma Force novels is in development, which could be good news for the author's legion of fans. In the meantime, jump into this fast-paced and edge-of-your-seat thriller from a master of the genre.COPYRIGHT(2024) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
