Why I Love Libraries...
...or at least Library Journal! Here's another early review of THE LAST ORACLE, written by one of the best reviewers out there (then again I may be biased, as you'll see from reading the review below).
Jeff Ayers - Library Journal
The murder of what appears to be a homeless man propels the Sigma Force (The Judas Strain) into their most compelling and perilous adventure yet. The victim is a respected scientist, and the Sigma Force finds that his research leads to a rogue organization of scientists called the Jasons. This think tank of intellectual geniuses has developed a method to augment autistic children with special savant talents. The outcome, in the hands of several men bent on their own quest for control, threatens the entire world. Sigma Force must send their best men to India and other countries around the globe to track down the murdered scientist's research. But menace hides close to their base of operations. Rollins has outdone himself with this fabulous mix of history, science, and adventure that will easily increase his growing number of fans. For all fiction collections.
Also Harriet Klausner, one of Amazon's top reviewers writes: "The story line starts fast, goes global, and accelerates taking the audience for an entertaining ride with twists and tilts as only James Rollins could do linking Ancient Greece, modern nuclear warfare, and genetics into a superb action filled tale." (Thanks, Harriet!!)
And because I do get asked a lot about the order of the Sigma books, I thought I'd lay them out here once again. Now, of course, the books can be read in any order, but here is the official order of publication.
SANDSTORM (this is a proverbial prequel to the Sigma series, where Painter Crowe is still out in the field)
MAP OF BONES (Sigma Book #1)
BLACK ORDER (Sigma Book #2)
THE JUDAS STRAIN (Sigma Book #3)
THE LAST ORACLE (Sigma Book #4)
All the novels prior to Sandstorm are stand-alone thrillers.
Next up (which I hope to put up in the next hour or so) is to dismiss a nagging rumor with solid, irrefutable proof!
And since I haven't done this in ages:
Best Book of the last month: Napoleon's Pyramid by William Dietrich (and its sequel is sitting on my shelf)
Best Movie of the past month: "Ironman" (this movie rocked!)and an honorable mention to "Speed Racer" (I know this movie got trashed by the critics, but after some adjustment to the wild visuals, I had a great time...then again I do have a Speed Racer belt buckle from way back).

Ok Jim.
It's been longer than an hour. What's the nagging rumor? You've gotten my attention.
