Early Review for The Last Oracle
Monday, May 12, 2008
Here's a review of from Publisher's Weekly that just posted:
The Last Oracle: A Sigma Force Novel
At the start of bestseller Rollins's rousing fifth Sigma Force novel (after The Judas Strain), the group's leader, Cmdr. Gray Pierce, encounters a homeless man as he's crossing the Mall in Washington, D.C., near Sigma Force's secret lair far beneath the Smithsonian Castle. The man, who's really an MIT neurology professor, collapses in Pierce's arms and dies after passing him a strange coin, thus kicking off a far-flung adventure whose plot threads include the Oracle of Delphi, autistic savant children with strange implants behind their ears, Gypsies, power-mad Russians bent on unleashing enough radioactivity to poison the world, rogue American spy agencies and genetically enhanced wolves and tigers. Lots of absorbing scientific information and tantalizing sentences like *deleted to avoid a major spoiler* keep the pages flying by.

Sorry about deleting that "tantalizing sentence," but it gave away something significant, and I didn't want to ruin the surprise.
