James Rollins, the New York Times bestselling master of nail-biting suspense and historical mystery, combines cutting-edge biotechnology with a centuries-old secret in an apocalyptic story that reveals where humankind is truly headed
The Doomsday Key
At Princeton University, a famed geneticist dies inside a biohazard lab. In Rome, a Vatican archaeologist is found dead in St. Peter's Basilica. In Africa, a U.S. senator's son is slain outside a Red Cross camp. The three murders on three continents bear a horrifying connection: all the victims are marked by a Druidic pagan cross burned into their fl esh.
The bizarre murders thrust Commander Gray Pierce and Sigma Force into a race against time to solve a riddle going back centuries, to a ghastly crime against humanity hidden within a cryptic medieval codex. The fi rst clue is discovered inside a mummifi ed corpse buried in an English peat bog—a gruesome secret that threatens America and the world.
Aided by two women from his past—one his exlover, the other his new partner—Gray must piece together the horrifying truth. But the revelations come at a high cost, and to save the future, Gray will have to sacrifi ce one of the women at his side. That alone might not be enough, as the true path to salvation is revealed in a dark prophecy of doom.
Sigma Force confronts humankind's greatest threat in an adventure that races from the Roman Coliseum to the icy peaks of Norway, from the ruins of medieval abbeys to the lost tombs of Celtic kings. The ultimate nightmare is locked within a talisman buried by a dead saint—an ancient artifact known as the Doomsday Key

The Doomsday Key
Reading such books I always wonder how the author manages to combine all these pieces into a more or less coherent story. And a relatively believable story. Relatively, because, let's be honest, global conspiracies are definitely in the world of fantasy.
Anyway, there is something about bringing together all those seemingly unmatchable elements into a consistent plot which makes me look at the author as someone between a magician and a composer. Regardless of whether we like books of this genre or whether we like this particular book, we should appreciate the finesse with which the author combined historical facts and literary fantasy to create this interesting story.
And man, we've got a lot. A global conspiracy aimed at limiting the world's population with the help of genetically modified food, pre-Christian symbols and mysteries, ancient Egyptians in the British Isles. And of course, the mysterious Guild, an organization about which basically nothing is known except that it is certainly plotting something bad for the world and our characters. And everything is served along with fast-moving action and interesting characters.
This is my first book by this author, I don't know the characters beyond this book. Sometimes, if you have not read previous books in a series, you find that the characters are very poorly developed and it is difficult for you to like them or even distinguish them. Fortunately, I do not have this problem here. What I should know from other books has been explained, but also not so much that I would come to the conclusion that it is not worth to read them because I already know everything. That's good.
I've only read a few books like this one. This is not my favorite genre, but who does not like a good global conspiracy from time to time? Of the books I've read, this one does not have the craziest plot (I look at you, Clive Cussler, you're unbeatable), but it's also a book that is a real pleasure to read and I got into it easily. I will definitely read another book from this author (possibly in this series) one day.
