- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Books by James Rollins are not only incredibly enjoyable to read but are also loaded with interesting history, facts and science. I really like how at the end of the book he explains what parts of the book are rooted in fact and what is fiction. This book was another wild ride with the Sigma Force team.
Wasps from the dinosaur period let loose to reek havoc on Hawaii, and later the rest of the world. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I thought that this book was a lot of fun even though I am not a fan of the Sigma Force members or of endless fight scenes. This book had historical figures, buried secrets, ecological threats, scientific experiments, and big, immortal, killer wasps. I enjoyed it.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I read to page 200. It got too weird and I didn't go farther.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow. James Rollins does NOT disappoint. This 13th in the Sigma Force series is just as full of thrills and science and history and action and heart as the previous 12 in the series. Un-put-downable!In "The Demon Crown" Sigma Force finds itself pitted against a seemingly indestructible biological creature, a deadly insect with ancient origins. With its power harnessed by a human enemy bent on dominating the world, the insect becomes a potential threat to the entire globe. Their search for a way to combat both the insect and the humans who unleashed it takes Kat, Monk, Gray, Seichan, and Kowalski on a hunt around the world, delving into historical archives, combing through research done by Alexander Graham Bell and James Smithson, the founding donor of the Smithsonian Institute. Joined by expert scientists and researchers, the Sigma Force team races against time to save the world -- as well as one of their own.I can't wait for book #14!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Six word review: Prehistoric parasitic wasps released for revenge!
Rating: 7/10
This is a typical Sigma Force novel. It is fast paced, globe spanning and involves the edges of science and history. Certainly parasites are a terrifying idea, as anyone who has watched "Monsters Inside Me" has been disturbed by. The idea of weaponizing them is equally frightening. The motive involved, a Japanese world war II era Guild (kage) member wants revenge for his lover's death during the war and to recreate the Japanese Empire, is not completely original, certainly not if you watch anime or read certain other thrillers, but the Guild connection is new and it worked.
It was a fun read. It is not my absolute favorite of the Sigma Force novels, but it was a solid entry in the series.
