About the Author James Rollins is the author of international thrillers that have been translated into more than forty languages. His Sigma series has been lauded as one of the "top crowd pleasers" (New York Times) and one of the "hottest summer reads" (People magazine). In each novel, acclaimed for its originality, Rollins unveils unseen worlds, scientific breakthroughs, and historical secrets--and he does it all at breakneck speed and with stunning insight. He lives in the Sierra Nevada. Reviews "James Rollins is a master of international action and intrigue." -- Richmond Times-Dispatch"Rollins combines real-world science with high-octane action to create rousing stories of adventure that are as exciting as any movie." -- Chicago Sun-Times"From the hidden Indian treasure, to the Fort Knox secrets, to the conspiracy at the beginning of the United States The Devil Colony gives you every reason why you'll want to be a member of Sigma Force." -- Brad Meltzer, New York Times bestselling author of The Inner Circle on The Devil Colony"Terrible secrets, the sweep of history, an epic canvas, breathless action..nobody--and I mean nobody--does this stuff better than Rollins." -- Lee Child on The Devil Colony"Riveting..Rollins gets better with each book, and his position at the top of this particular subgenre remains unshaken." -- Publishers Weekly on The Devil Colony. The prologue for this complexly woven tale, the eighth entry in the "Sigma Force" series, could have come from the History Channel-one of the original Knights Templar, a woman to boot, finds the staff of Christ, which holds the key to immortality. Fast-forward to the present day and the descendants of the group, which include the U.S. President, continue the quest for immortality, only they are now using modern technology. The President's daughter is kidnapped, and there is an assassination plot brewing. Painter Crowe's Sigma Force is called upon to protect the commander in chief and get to the bottom of the plot. Peter Jay Fernandez does well in reading this work. His voice is quite relaxed and is usually measured during the narrative sections. He affects individual voices for the numerous characters, which succeeds in relating the player's personality. VERDICT Public libraries that have the earlier works in this series should purchase this one, while others also may wish to consider buying it.
