The Devil Colony (Sigma #7)

The Devil Colony by James Rollins is his seventh Sigma Force book. Sigma Force is a secret group under the DARPA budget - highly trained special forces soldiers trained in different sciences to deal with any situation.

A cave is discovered in the Rocky Mountains - a cave that has been protected by its location and local stories that tell of a curse - and a fight over the mummified bodies found leads to protests. When an explosion goes off outside of the cave, a Native American protester is blamed.

The artifacts hidden in the cave trigger a chain reaction that will be felt throughout the world. It is a story that began during the time of the thirteen colonies - and a battle between two forces that wish to shape the world.

Sigma will use its every resource to find and secure a technology that is too dangerous to be found. And the race will take them from Utah to a remote volcanic island, to the trail of Lewis and Clark before they either save the planet or die trying.

Rollins is a master. He combines history, science, mythology, and more to create the type of books that keep readers awake all night to find out what happens next. Every one of his books is an amazing, heart-pounding ride.
