Summary
In the race to save one of their own, Sigma Force must wrestle with the deepest spiritual mysteries of mankind in this mind-expanding adventure from #1 New York Times bestselling author James Rollins, told with his trademark blend of cutting edge science, historical mystery, and pulse-pounding action.

Arriving home on Christmas Eve, Commander Gray Pierce discovers his house ransacked, his pregnant lover missing, and his best friend’s wife, Kat, unconscious on the kitchen floor. With no shred of evidence to follow, his one hope to find the woman he loves and his unborn child is Kat, the only witness to what happened. But the injured woman is in a semi-comatose state and cannot speak—until a brilliant neurologist offers a radical approach to “unlock” her mind long enough to ask a few questions.

What Pierce learns from Kat sets Sigma Force on a frantic quest for answers that are connected to mysteries reaching back to the Spanish Inquisition and to one of the most reviled and blood-soaked books in human history—a Medieval text known as the Malleus Maleficarum, the Hammer of Witches. What they uncover hidden deep in the past will reveal a frightening truth in the present and a future on the brink of annihilation, and force them to confront the ultimate question: What does it mean to have a soul?

The best one yet! Good transitions, not over done with a natural continuation of the story and no sense of a forced conclusion. It leaves one wanting more.

Scary idea rooted in science with deep cynicism about the benevolence of humanity. Great read or listen.

Good story, I like the way Mr. Rollins incorporates history and fact into his books. It was almost too technical, but it worked

Vary well researched and well written with factual info. Just put into a hypothetical story. I enjoyed it vary much. First book by James Rolland’s I have listened to. Will not be the last.

For some reason, the plot was not what I expected. It was interesting and very very different. The narrator was very good at differentiating the characters.
