About this ebook

In this heart-stopping novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author James Rollins, an elite team of ex-Special Forces soldiers turned scientific specialists must uncover a secret society and the treasure that could destroy the world.

When a group of parishioners are burned to death in a German cathedral, the U.S. sends in the Sigma force. The tragedy is more than a case of arson; someone has stolen the priceless treasure stored in the cathedral’s golden reliquary: the bones of the Biblical Magi, the legendary Three Kings.

Commander Logan Pierce, new to Sigma, will lead a team on the hunt for the Royal Dragon Court, a clandestine aristocratic fraternity of alchemists dating back to the Middle Ages, who seek to establish a New World Order using the mystical bones. The Sigma team will follow a labyrinth of clues leading from Europe’s gothic cathedrals, through the remnants of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world, to a mystical place where science and religion will unite to unleash a threat not seen since the beginning of time itself.

Ratings and reviews

If common knowledge Biblical research had been less sloppy, I could have given this a higher rating. For example, You say the first line of Genesis is "let there be light". That's the third verse. Also you make several references to the Book of Revelations. The last book in the Bible bears the title, THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST. Revelation(no 's') for short.there is no New Testament book called Revelations, although I suppose I should cut you come slack on that one - a lot of Christians get it wrong.

I rated this as poor not because it's a bad story, but because google play books listed it as having 656 pages and it actually has 211. I like long books and accurate advertising.

the description says book over 600 pages - when you download the books free sample it says 299 pages. I'd like to know how many pages the book is before I buy it.
