The 6th Extinction
The 6th Extinction: A Sigma Force Novel | James Rollins
7 posts | 35 read | 9 to read
A remote military research station sends out a frantic distress call, ending with a chilling final command: Kill us all! Personnel from the neighboring base rush in to discover everyone already dead-and not just the scientists, but every living thing for fifty square miles is annihilated: every animal, plant, and insect, even bacteria. The land is entirely sterile-and the 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 all life on Earth balanced upon the blade of a knife. 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. From millennia-old secrets out of the frozen past to mysteries buried deep in the darkest jungles of today, Sigma will face its greatest challenge to date: stopping the coming extinction of mankind. But is it already too late?

Rollins is one of my favorite authors and this ebook is on sale today. It was not one of my faves though. So I‘d skip it unless you‘re trying to read all his books in this series.

I have to say that while this was a good read, I didn't feel it was up to Rollins typical standard. I am not sure if he was too focused on sharing the science this round or if it was the lack of the history/esoteric component that was the issue for me; but, I found the story lacking.
The characters were of the same depth and quality as previous forays and I found them compelling, thus it must be something in the plot. I will still give it a pick.

Cutter Elwes is the #madscientist in this Rollins book who is pushing the world toward the sixth extinction episode. Not among my favorites by Rollins, sad to say. #octphotochallenge

Good, but not on par with Rollins' other books. I miss the historical mysteries that he solves and the globe trotting that are so much fun in prior books.

Imagine a land filled with genetic hybrids, conceived by an eccentric genius, a mad scientist, with the will and resources to make it happen. I learned about synthetic biology, XNA, extremophiles, tepuis and Antarctic geology. A fascinating and engaging read!
