Book description
Nobody - and I mean nobody - does this stuff better than Rollins' LEE CHILD
Deep in the Rocky Mountains, a gruesome discovery - hundreds of
mummified bodies - stirs international attention and fervent
controversy. Despite doubts to the bodies' origins, the local Native
American Heritage Commission lays claim to the prehistoric remains,
along with the strange artefacts found in the same cavern: gold plates
inscribed with an unfathomable script.
During a riot at the dig site, an anthropologist dies horribly in an
explosion. All evidence points to a radical group of Native Americans,
including a teenage firebrand who escapes with a vital clue to the
murder and calls on the one person who might help - her uncle, Painter
Crowe, director of Sigma Force.
To protect his niece and uncover the truth, Painter will ignite a war
across the nation's most powerful intelligence agencies. Yet, an even
greater threat looms as events in the Rocky Mountains have set in motion
a frightening chain reaction, a geological meltdown that threatens the
entire western half of the U. S.
From the volcanic peaks of Iceland to the blistering deserts of the
American Southwest, Painter Crowe joins forces with commander Gray
Pierce to penetrate the heart of a dark cabal, one that has been
manipulating American history since the founding of the thirteen
colonies... James Rollins is the author of the bestselling Sigma Force
series, a string of standalone thrillers and the novelisation of the
cinema blockbuster INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL.
His books are sold in more than thirty countries and have sold ten
million copies worldwide. www. jamesrollins. com
