Overview: Site, B&N, Amazon, Wiki, MC
In the mountains of Nepal...in a remote monastery, Buddhist monks inexplicably turn to cannibalism and torture—while Painter Crowe, director of Sigma Force, begins to show signs of the same baffling, mind-destroying malady...and Lisa Cummings, a dedicated American doctor, becomes the target of a brutal clandestine assassin. (Harper)
Review: B (6.8.07) Includes an additional 13 page excerpt of the Judas Strain. The fifth book read on the bus commute, spanning about 110 pages a day. Jim Czajkowski (as James Rollins) is at it again. This is James Rollins 8th book and 2nd (unoffically the third) in the Sigma series. It's still pretty good, and the bell is an interesting twist.
