Commentary Toward Books The Bone Labyrinth (Sigma Force #11)
A war is coming, a battle that will stretch from the prehistoric forests of the ancient past to the cutting-edge research labs of today, all to reveal a true mystery buried deep within our DNA, a mystery that will leave readers changed forever . . .In this groundbreaking masterpiece of ingenuity and intrigue that spans 50,000 years in human history, New York Times bestselling author James Rollins takes us to mankind’s next great leap.
But will it mark a new chapter in our development . . . or our extinction?
In the remote mountains of Croatia, an archaeologist makes a strange discovery: a subterranean Catholic chapel, hidden for centuries, holds the bones of a Neanderthal woman. In the same cavern system, elaborate primitive paintings tell the story of an immense battle between tribes of Neanderthals and monstrous shadowy figures. Who is this mysterious enemy depicted in these ancient drawings and what do the paintings mean?
Before any answers could be made, the investigative team is attacked, while at the same time, a bloody assault is made upon a primate research center outside of Atlanta. How are these events connected? Who is behind these attacks? The search for the truth will take Commander Gray Pierce of Sigma Force 50,000 years into the past. As he and Sigma trace the evolution of human intelligence to its true source, they will be plunged into a cataclysmic battle for the future of humanity that stretches across the globe . . . and beyond.
With the fate of our future at stake, Sigma embarks on its most harrowing odyssey ever—a breathtaking quest that will take them from ancient tunnels in Ecuador that span the breadth of South America to a millennia-old necropolis holding the bones of our ancestors. Along the way, revelations involving the lost continent of Atlantis will reveal true mysteries tied to mankind’s first steps on the moon. In the end, Gray Pierce and his team will face to their greatest threat: an ancient evil, resurrected by modern genetic science, strong enough to bring about the end of man’s dominance on this planet.
Only this time, Sigma will falter—and the world we know will change forever.

The Bone Labyrinth by James Rollins is a very highly recommended action/adventure thriller. This latest novel represents Rollins at his best; the plot is complex and the action non-stop, but I flew through the almost 500 pages at a breakneck pace trying to find out what happened next in all the various plot threads. In some ways I don't want to give away too much of the story, except to encourage fans and anyone who enjoys a great techno-thriller to pick this novel up for a great holiday novel.1.5 stars. I'm a science fiction fan and a scientist so I went into this intrigued by the near future genetics aspect and the focus on the evolution of human intelligence. The first half was interesting though casting all Chinese scientists as evil was frustrating. However, things dive into the deep end of conspiracy theory in the second half and I nearly didn't finish. I'm so sick of patterns being found where they really aren't meaningful and a scientist buying into that is ridiculous. There
I became nauseated and almost did not finish this book when I got the the Chinese research lab. It's disgusting and unfortunately, probably a far too real depiction of the cruelties being done to animals in research labs all over the world. I made it through the entire book only because I wanted to see if Baako made it (although I couldn't understand the purpose of revealing Kowalski's future in the epilogue). The other half of the story was, I'm sorry to say, somewhat unexciting and couldn't
I read books like this for one reason: to get sucked into a story and characters that make me not want to put the book down. The Sigma Force books do that for me. Interesting fiction stories built on top of non fiction history and science. A perfect combination. Yes, the stories creep into the ridiculous, but they're fiction, so, anything goes, right?
After reading several books in a row in which the author had no idea how to grab and hold the reader's attention, it was a pleasure to read this book from an author who knows how to write thrillers. Mostly I've read his non-Sigma Force books, but it wasn't a problem that I was unfamiliar with the team, and I'm not very picky about character development in thrillers. This book has genetics, anthropology, lost cities, ancient remains, giants, head hunters and strangely intelligent primates. It
That ending though. Way to leave us hanging, Jim. We waited extra time for this one... Does that mean the next will come sooner??? Or at least on normal time (aka mid summer???)
