The Titan Project off the coast of Australia is determined
to see what mysteries lie under the seas as the international research facility
tries to solve mysteries that defy science yet engulfs the scientists with a
curiosity that has them clamoring for more insight down there. But as the world
erupts all around them, forces rise to take helm and the survivors are left
wondering who in fact are foes or saviors.
The seas around them erupt in ash and destruction as volcanoes
erupt one after another and as Sigma Force splits up, members of both teams
wonder if they will survive to live another day. As tension mounts, the world
is on tenterhooks as forces collide. The question is: Will Sigma be able to
stop the coming destruction, or will the world end as we know it?
TIDES OF FIRE is one of those books that leave you
breathless even as you change to the next page. James Rollins delivers a tour
de force in his latest addition in his acclaimed Sigma Force series and this
times an old foe shows up, determined to get revenge, the world is on the brink
yet again and Sigma Force is forced to join forces with an enemy that will kill
any of them if it comes to it. With new faces and some very familiar faces joining
the hunt into history and more, Sigma Force is on deck with action from start
to end in TIDES OF FIRE. With every book in this series James Rollins
creates, he ramps up the action, mystery and more within the pages. TIDES OF
FIRE is definitely an edge of your seat ride from start to finish and I can
honestly see how nerve wracking this book was. I couldn’t put it down. It was
engrossing, entertaining and the familiar characters from past books had me
intrigued with their character growth seventeen books notwithstanding. Every
time I pick up this author’s books, I know I am in for a ride of my life as the
reader is drawn into a historical mystery that threatens the modern/present day
with a calamity of epic proportions. The twists alone had me gasping in
disbelief and wonder as I kept flipping the pages as I read, eager to see what
else this author maestro had in store for his readers.
TIDES OF FIRE will keep the reader glued to the very end and I can attest
that ending alone has me wondering just what is going to happen next for Sigma
Force, Paint and the crew that helm it as this past enemy has them in its
sight. This is a fast-paced story that delivered science in a way that I could
understand, with mysteries of the deep sea as the center of it all. With each book,
I feel this author just delivers more and more goodness to his readers because
I don’t know where he gets his ideas, but TIDES OF FIRE deliver a walloping
of a wild ride that left me eager to see what is next for this group as a whole
doesn’t get old or stale. Each new book delivers something even more intriguing
and entertaining to the series and to the main characters as a whole.
TIDES OF FIRE gave me all the feelings right from the
beginning. I loved how this series centered more on a core group of Sigma’s
characters (Grey, Seichan, Monk, etc.) and less on the head of the shadowy
group (Painter and Kat). I love it when we see these characters continue to
grow with each book and novellas and I wonder with this ending, where can this
group go next? If you enjoy a fast paced, action-packed story filled with
history and science then you will enjoy this series. This author is definite
autobuy for me and I am eager to see where this author goes next because as
James Rollins has shown, he isn’t afraid to blow up national monuments and more
in his books to help make his story fly.
This is an objective review and not an endorsement.
