Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
From the depths of the Indian Ocean, a horrific plague has arisen to devastate humankind—unknown, unstoppable . . . and merely a harbinger of the doom that is to follow.
Operatives of the shadowy covert organization Sigma Force, Dr. Lisa Cummings and Monk Kokkalis search for answers to the bizarre affliction aboard a cruise liner transformed into a makeshift hospital. But a sudden and savage attack by terrorist hijackers turns the mercy ship into a floating bio-weapons lab.
Time is an enemy as a worldwide pandemic grows quickly out of control. As the seconds tick closer to doomsday, Sigmas commander, Gray Pierce, must join forces with the beautiful assassin who tried to kill him—following the trail of the most fabled explorer in history into the terrifying heart of an astonishing mystery buried deep in antiquity and in humanitys genetic code.

If you enjoyed Black Order or The DaVinci Code, you'll like The Judas Strain. You'll want to put together the pieces of the puzzle before the characters do, but you'll won't be able to. And if having one piece missing from a jigsaw puzzle drives you crazy, be ready to finish this book and immediately start the search for the subsequent Sigma Force novel.

First of all, I enjoyed the book. It was typical Rollins fare - out there, wild plot lines, etc. However, what I didn't like about this book is that there was almost too much going on. Too many mini story lines made me feel like someone was manning a channel changer when I was trying to watch a movie. And many of the mini story lines were left hanging with no ending and some never went anywhere. Besides that fact though, the book was a good read and certainly kept me turning the pages.

This book gets 3 stars because it is, in fact, a very quick read. Lots of action and fun at times. However, there are far too many times where you find yourself saying "Puh-leaze!". Giant killer squid? Red crab swarms that hack through everything in their path, including human legs? A plague that turns the diseased into ravenous cannibals? (When did this become Night of the Living Dead?) An elderly couple - one of whom has a prosthetic leg mind you - that's able to outsmart, and physically overtake, trained mercenaries? And, it goes on and on and on like this. I have no problem with the suspension of disbelief. But, unless I'm wrong, this was not intended to be a fantasy novel; it's a thriller. But, unfortunately one that leaves you saying to the author "You've got to be kidding!"

James Rollins returns to his highly successful Sigma series here with a 4th and even better book than Map of Bones.
Having become one of the top-notch thriller/Adventure writers out there today, James Rollins continues to breathe new life into this genre with crazy twists and turns of ancient science and dark designs on the world.
Done with polished panache, and surging forward with a frenetic pace with solid action/adventure stuff that Hollywood is truly missing into making into cinematic masterpiece, Rollins's 4th Sigma Force novel really is a unique and ultra-exciting installment that has once again proven that Rollins has a hard grip on this thriller genre that is second-to-none.
We were the very first reviewers to review his very first novel - Subterranean - and knew right then and there that this guy was going to rise to the top with his fast-paced and thrilling writing acumen.
If you are one of the few that hasn't already discovered this tremendous writer - then do yourself a favor and purchase a James Rollins book, and get ready to leave your woes behind for many an hour.
