The Devil Colony: A Sigma Force Novel
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
From James Rollins, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sigma Force series, comes another electrifying combination of suspense, history, science, action, and ingenious speculation.
Deep in the Rocky Mountains, a gruesome discovery—hundreds of mummified bodies—stir international attention and fervent controversy. Despite doubts about the bodies' origins, the local Native American Heritage Commission lays claim to the prehistoric remains, along with the strange artifacts found in the same cavern: gold plates inscribed with an unfathomable script.
During a riot at the dig site, an anthropologist dies horribly: burned to ash in a fiery explosion in plain view of television cameras. All evidence points to a radical group of Native Americans, including one agitator, 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, from the gold vaults of Fort Knox to the bubbling geysers of Yellowstone, Painter Crowe joins forces with Commander Gray Pierce to penetrate the shadowy heart of a dark cabal, one that has been manipulating American history since the founding of the thirteen colonies.
But can he discover the truth—one that could topple governments—before it destroys all he holds dear?

A secret from the past threatens to destroy the modern world in bestseller Rollins's riveting seventh Sigma Force novel (after The Doomsday Key). While exploring a mysterious cavern full of desiccated human bodies in the Rocky Mountains of Utah, two teenage boys discover the gold-coated skull of a saber-toothed tiger atop a granite plinth. Later, after others bring this prehistoric artifact to the surface, it triggers a blast that creates a strange force that dissolves rock and eats its way into the ground, eventually unleashing a volcano. When the members of the special forces unit known as Sigma, led by Painter Crowe, investigate, they uncover a massive conspiracy that has its roots in Mormonism, Native American legends, Thomas Jefferson, and explorer Meriwether Lewis, to name just a few of the fascinating characters and scientific threads that stitch this intricate action thriller together. Rollins gets better with each book, and his position at the top of this particular subgenre remains unshaken. 10-city author tour.

In the Rocky Mountains, anthropologists have discovered hundreds of mummified bodies. Whatever their origins, they are claimed by Native Americans, a riot ensues, an anthropologist inexplicably burns to a crisp, and an outspoken teenage leader of a radical group implicated in the violence turns for protection to her uncle--Sigma Force director Painter Crowe. Rollins's Sigma Force novels are big, as evidenced by the one-day laydown on June 21, the 350,000-copy first printing, and the ten-city tour. Buy multiples.

The new Sigma Force novel begins more than 200 years ago, with the discovery of a gold-plated mastodon skull that, if it fell into the wrong hands, could throw the future of the U.S. into jeopardy. Flash forward to the present day. In Utah, a murder-suicide leads to the discovery of hundreds of mummified bodies, a cache of boxes filled with gold, and . . . a gold-plated saber-tooth-tiger skull. After a massive explosion produces some unique aftereffects, Sigma Force heads off to Utah to assess the possible threat to the country. Meanwhile, in an apparently unrelated development, a former enemy reveals that the criminal organization known only as the Guild may have influenced events surrounding the founding of the U.S. Soon, inevitably, the two story elements begin to combine, and an exciting finale seems assured. Fans of the Sigma Force thrillers are probably already beginning to salivate. A Rollins book is a guaranteed good time, and this one's certainly no exception. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: When it comes to high-concept military adventure, Rollins owns a commanding chunk of the franchise. The usual suspects are sure to gather.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)
