My Rating for Tides of Fire: 5 Stars and a Series Recommended Read.

My Review for Tides of Fire:

 

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.
