The NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author returns with a gripping, high-concept adventure thriller in the Sigma Force series - for fans of Dan Brown and Michael Crichton. A remote military research station in Utah sends out a frantic distress call, ending with a chilling final command: Kill us all! By the time help arrives every living thing for fifty miles has been annihilated. And blight is spreading. To halt the inevitable, Commander Gray Pierce and Sigma must unravel a threat that rises out of the distant past, to a time when Antarctica was green and life on Earth balanced on a knife edge. Following clues from an ancient map rescued from the lost Library of Alexandria, Sigma will discover the truth about an ancient continent, about a new form of death buried under miles of ice, and the coming extinction of mankind.

I feel like this was a return to how great this series can be, after books 7, 8 and 9 were a little disappointing. It really gave me the same vibes as Black Order, which is my favourite in the series.
It always astounds me how much science and history is packed into these books along with so many great characters and action. I saw another reviewer labelling them as “science thrillers” and I think that's so accurate.
One other thing I like is that the author takes the time to talk through the various scientific and historical points at the end of the book and actually shows how many of them are true and he's really just tweaked them slightly and expanded on them for a story, some can be terrifying to think they're real and actively being worked on in the science world.
I'm a long time fan of this series so will definitely be continuing!
