About this ebook

In The Eye of God, a Sigma Force novel, New York Times bestselling author James Rollins delivers an apocalyptic vision of a future predicted by the distant past.
 
In the wilds of Mongolia, a research satellite has crashed, triggering an explosive search for its valuable cargo: a code-black physics project connected to the study of dark energy—and a shocking image of the eastern seaboard of the United States in utter ruin.
 
At the Vatican, a package arrives containing two strange artifacts: a skull scrawled with ancient Aramaic and a tome bound in human skin. DNA evidence reveals that both came from the same body: the long dead Mongol king Genghis Khan.
 
Commander Gray Pierce and Sigma Force set out to discover a truth tied to the fall of the Roman Empire, to a mystery going back to the birth of Christianity, and to a weapon hidden for centuries that holds the fate of humanity.

Ratings and reviews

Too many ideas! An oversimplification of astrophysics masquerades as the scientific component of a historical mystery / ticking time bomb / globe trotting adventure. A fast read with some good ideas for an Indiana Jones style hunt but they're smothered by all the other ideas.

A little far-fetched but still a good read. Get it on sale and it's worth the time. If I find others of the series at the right price, I'm sure if read them also.

Another good story in the Sigma Force series. The connection between modern/sci-fi technology and historical artifacts and events is always an interesting subject.
