The Doomsday Key by James Rollins
Ah yes, there had to be an Indiana Jones novel somewhere in the pile. This is it. And just like the movies, suspend logic, buckle seat belt, and go along for a ride.
Three murders, one in Rome, one in Africa and one in a genetics lab at Princeton University. Nothing apparently connects them, except for a strange cross burned into their skin. Enter Sigma Force to solve the mystery. And the ancient source of power that will destroy or save the world? Is it really the reason that the Domesday Book listed some towns in Anglo-Saxon England as wasted? And how does St Malachy fit into the whole mystery? Sorry, I can’t tell you because that would spoil the story. I will just say that Rollins has certainly put together a fascinating tale that links these various ideas into a wonderfully suspenseful adventure.
Apparently the Sigma Force novels have been around for years. I just haven’t read any before. But I firmly believe that fans of the action adventure novel that won’t make you think too hard will love this book, and probably many others in the series.
