Not quite as good as some of my fave Sigma novels, but it's a damned fine book and super fun adventure. Also Nikko the dog is the standout best!

As always Rollins delivers. The book is a good read. Thrilling and humorous. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that I missed Monk 😉

Antarctica is so cool, even if the shadow biosphere was a bit farfetched. Missing my #1 Seichan in this one

I love the Sigma Force series, all of it! But this one is by far the scariest one, it made me think a lot!

I really enjoy this series--it's like Dan Brown, but more layered and elevated.

Rollins definitely made a strong effort to up the "gross out" factor in this book! Yuck. I was eating during one scene towards the end involving certain mollusk-like animal, and felt my stomach churn a bit.

But it was an entertaining read. Full of the typical good-looking, physically fit, military trained, young, friendly, genius good-guys. A bit trite, but I can usually look past it. It seems to be a characteristic of the genre.

Well written books. I think it's always going to be a safe bet that a book by Rollins will keep me entertained. Good suspense read.
