Story
Lucas Tappan, a wealthy and eccentric billionaire and founder of Icarus Space Systems, approaches the Santa Fe Archaeological Institute with a proposal for an excavation - and a hefty donation. Hoping to bring welcome publicity to the privatized space travel industry, he wants to finance a careful, scientific archaeological excavation of the 1947 Roswell Incident site. The Institute agrees and Nora Kelly, much to her annoyance, is tasked with the job. Instead of the evidence of a crashed UFO, Nora's excavation immediately uncovers two unknown murder victims buried at the site.

The mission seems simple enough: Extract a pharmaceutical magnate from Russian soil. But nothing is as it appears to be. A desperate call thrusts Captain Tucker Wayne and his stalwart military dog, Kane, into a frantic race to rescue the brilliant-but-deluded Abram Bukolov from a cadre of skilled assassins. Hunted and betrayed at every turn, Tucker and Kane must discover the truth behind a horror out of the ancient past that can be weaponized to terrorize the modern world. As time rapidly runs out, the deep and intimate bond between dog and soldier will be tested to the extreme.

A trio of investigators - Sergeant Jordan Stone, a military forensic expert; Father Rhun Korza, a Vatican priest; and Dr. Erin Granger, a brilliant but disillusioned archaeologist - are sent to explore the macabre discovery, a subterranean temple holding the crucified body of a mummified girl.

Half a century ago, an aberration was spotted by one of our earliest satellites, and summarily dismissed as a hardware malfunction. But it was no aberration. And no malfunction. It was an accidental glimpse of something extraordinary, and very old. Mocked for decades, the man who designed the satellite is now dead. With the system's original data firmly in the hands of former NTSB investigator Joe Rickards and anthropologist Angela Reed.

Dirk Cussler doesn't disappoint

Publisher's Summary
From #1 New York Times bestselling author James Rollins, the latest riveting, deeply imaginative thriller in the Sigma Force series, told with his trademark blend of cutting-edge science, historical mystery, and pulse-pounding action.
It begins in Africa . . .
A United Nations relief team in a small village in the Congo makes an alarming discovery. An unknown force is leveling the evolutionary playing field. Men, women, and children have been reduced to a dull catatonic state. The environment surrounding them—plants and animals—has grown more cunning and predatory, evolving at an exponential pace. The insidious phenomenon is spreading from a cursed site in the jungle—known to locals as the Kingdom of Bones—and sweeping across Africa, threatening the rest of the world.
What has made the biosphere run amok? Is it a natural event? Or more terrifyingly, did someone engineer it?
Commander Gray Pierce and Sigma Force are prepared for the extraordinary and have kept the world safe, vigilance for which they have paid a tragic personal price. Yet, even these brilliant and seasoned scientific warriors do not understand what is behind this frightening development—or know how to stop it. As they race to find answers, the members of Sigma quickly realize they have become the prey.
To head off global catastrophe, Sigma Force must risk their lives to uncover the shattering secret at the heart of the African continent—a truth that will illuminate who we are as a species and where we may be headed . . . sooner than we know.
Mother Nature—red in tooth and claw—is turning against humankind, propelling the entire world into the Kingdom of Bones.

Surprisingly disappointed in this latest work
Having read almost all of Rollins works, I looked forward to this latest offering. I found that the narration was too monotone for me and the story line did not keep me engaged. I almost stopped listening to it and gave it up as a loss since I could not return it for a refund. I finally persisted simply because I paid for it. It was formulaic and I struggled. Not his finest production.

Rather disappointed
I have loved all of James Rollins' Sigma books. It might be the narrator's performance that turned me off. He could not maintain a balanced level of sound. It was either blasting so loud or I was straining to hear what he was saying. The mumbling was distracting. I am not sure if he meant to sound bored or that is just the way he speaks but this narrator really ruined the book for me.
The action was good, but it took awhile for the story to really get going. At times if felt like this book was just thrown together- it doesn't matter if it makes sense or is not physically/humanly possible, I'm just going to write this because it goes with my story line. Overall, not bad, but not great.

Disappointing
I’ve read all of James’ books and I found this one quite disappointing. It hardly read like a Sigma Force Thriller. It was about the Congo and wildlife with some Sigma Force characters thrown in for good measure. Don’t waste your credit.

a bit too preachy...
I've enjoyed Rollins's Sigma audiobooks for years now, and I think this was my least favorite. Although entertaining, it had several themes already used in previous books. I also don't remember Rollins's other novels being quite so preachy... maybe cut back on the editorials next time.

Too much unfamiliar material
Too much unfamiliar material one is expected To be able to create images for the Congo for the deep African jungle It's difficult to keep track of all the unfamiliar characters you don't know who's important and who's not
You're also expected to be able to keep in mind the complex learning needed to understand viruses
The bad guys island compound is about the only image that comes easily

Flat narration.
Not one of the author's best. The narrator could be reading a cookbook. I kept trying to imagine how the book could be if it was read by Sean Mangan, but it still wasn't enough.
