About this item

Currently in development as a TV series from Amazon MGM Studios, a story of a thrilling hunt around the globe, pitting nation against nation, as ancient myths of a lost continent prove all too real—the latest novel in the bestselling Sigma Force series from James Rollins, #1 New York Times master of international thrillers

The execution of a Vatican archivist within the shadow of the Kremlin exposes a conspiracy going back three centuries—to the bloody era of the Russian Tsars. Before his murder, he manages to dispatch a coded message, a warning of a terrifying threat, one tied to a secret buried within the Golden Library of Tsars, a vast and treasured archive that had vanished into history.

As combative forces race for the truth behind this death and alarming discovery, Sigma Force is summoned to aid in the search—not only for this missing trove of ancient books, but to follow a trail far into the Arctic, to search for the truth about a lost continent and a revelation that could ignite a global war. But Sigma Force has its own difficulties at home after an explosive attack on the National Mall—one aimed at the heart of their covert agency—has left them vulnerable and exposed.

The growing conflict—both on Russian soil and deep in the Arctic—will reignite a centuries-old war between the newly resurgent Russian Orthodox Church and the Vatican, while sabers rattle across the nations of the Arctic Circle, threatening to turn those icy seas into a fiery conflagration.

Facing enemies on all sides, it will be up to Commander Gray Pierce and Sigma Force to unravel a mystery going back millennia—and uncover the truth about a lost civilization and an arcane treasure that could save the planet…or destroy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Divine, Destiny or Duplicity?

"After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

You see, I've been through
The desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain”

Arkangel by James Rollins ís, on many levels, like America’s song quoted above, a psychedelic dream in which you lose yourself, only to wake up to the stark reality of the underlying meaning. For an author who has written over 30+ Bestselling Thrillers, Arkangel is astoundingly original, historically believable, profoundly satisfying and clearly frightening.

From start to finish, Arkangel is thoroughly a Sigma Force thriller. Echoes of Rollins’ classic novels, such as Subterranean and Amazonia, with scary, slow reveal evidence of other-worldly cultures shine throughout Arkangel. Military forces in Russia, under the newly reconstructed Orthodox Church of Russia, are secretly searching for incontrovertible evidence that all Russians descend from a Divine race. Recently, a historical letter was found dating back to Catherine the Great.

Sigma Force is called into the picture when Grey Pierce's wife, Seichan, identifies Valya Mikhailov, a former agent she worked with at the Assassin's Guild, visiting an American Senator in a Supermax prison. A Senator with knowledge of Sigma Force, and the visit coincided with the Smithsonian Castle, which happened to be above Sigma's offices, being blown to smithereens.

Arkangel reads like a Saturday night Thriller movie for people who like to sink their teeth into a fast paced, politically philosophical plot with details that will keep you on the edge of your chair and make you jumpy until the Blockbuster ending.

I've read many of James Rollins books and they just keep getting better. I hope he writes fast; I can't wait until the next one. "Arkangel" is so interesting and exciting; I couldn't put it down! I enjoyed the "Author's Note to Readers: Truth or Fiction, at the end of the story.....so interesting! This man is amazing; the work he must go to researching!

This is quite honestly the best Sigma novel yet & for those of you who like myself have read every Sigma book out there that’s saying something! I can’t imagine the research that James Rollins puts into his books it is obviously copious. If you love the adventures of the Sigma crew don’t miss this one!

The one big problem with the SIGMA series is my life goes on hold as soon as I turn to the first page. Happy to see Tucker and Kane back in action and look to further adventures with Marco. Continue to enjoy Kowalski's antics.
