The best way to describe the book is as a novelized version of an Indiana Jones movie… amusing, since Rollins was later commissioned to write the actual novelization for Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. But really, it just hints at what Sigma and the Guild will become in future novels. The book that started it all, Sandstorm introduces us to Sigma Force, Rollins’s group of highly-trained (in both brains and brawn) covert operatives, and the Guild, Sigma’s shadowy and less scrupulous counterpart. And the many perils of a death-defying trek deep into the savage heart of the Arabian Peninsula pale before the nightmare waiting to be unearthed at journey’s end: an ageless and awesome power that could create a utopia… or destroy everything humankind has built over countless millennia. But others are being drawn there as well, some with dark and sinister purposes. And now the search for answers is leading Lady Kara Kensington her friend Safia al-Maaz, the gallery’s brilliant and beautiful curator and their guide, the international adventurer Omaha Dunn, into a world they never dreamed existed: a lost city buried beneath the Arabian desert. First up: Sandstorm.Īn inexplicable explosion rocks the antiquities collection of a London museum, setting off alarms in clandestine organizations around the world. This time around, I’ll be sharing my thoughts along the way, counting down to the release of The Eye of God. I always revisit previous books before each new addition, but it’s been a while since I read through the entire series.

This is one of my absolute favorite series.

We’re eight weeks from the release of the latest Sigma Force novel by James Rollins.
