A great quick read akin to Michael Crichton novels. I was skeptical at first but loved the story as a whole. I will be revisiting the Sigma Force with Rollins's debut in the future!

I really enjoyed this book. It was not what I thought it was going to be. (That’s my fault because I forgot what it was about.) But I didn’t want to put it down. I downloaded the audiobook and had it going nonstop. I legit did not expect to finish this book in three days, but here I am. Kowalski was my favorite character.
I kept saying that if Kane died, then I would need to leave like work or school. But I was in my car when I got to the part where I thought he died, and I broke down crying. It’s okay though. Kane and Tucker are alive and well. :)

I really loved this story and enjoyed it so much. It’s much more action driven and the pacing is fantastic. The last book felt really slow which I hadn’t experienced with the Sigma novels before. Rollins is at his best when he doesn’t have to delve to deeply into character development. I loved the science, new characters, and a cool grail quest.
Also, Kane is the best boy
