The Seventh Plague by James Rollins

THE SEVENTH PLAGUE (William Morrow hardcover, ISBN 9780062381682, on sale December 13, 2016) the newest blockbuster thriller from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author James Rollins, finds the leader of a British archeological expedition, Professor Harold McCabe, stumbling out of the sands of the Sudanese desert, frantic and delirious, two years after vanishing with his research team. He dies before he can explain what happened to him. The mystery deepens when an autopsy uncovers a bizarre corruption: someone had begun to mummify the professor’s body—while he was still alive.

His strange remains are returned to London for further study when alarming news arrives from Egypt. The medical team who had performed the man’s autopsy has fallen ill with an unknown disease, one that is quickly spreading throughout Cairo. Fearing the worst, a colleague of the professor reaches out to a longtime friend: Painter Crowe, the director of Sigma Force. The call is urgent, for Professor McCabe had vanished into the desert while searching for proof of the ten plagues of Moses. As the pandemic grows, a disturbing question arises.

Are those plagues starting again?

Before Director Crowe can investigate, a mysterious group of assassins leaves behind a fiery wake of destruction and death, erasing all evidence. With the professor’s body incinerated, his home firebombed, Sigma Force must turn to the archaeologist’s only daughter, Jane McCabe, for help. While sifting through what’s left of her father’s work, she discovers a puzzling connection, tying the current threat to a shocking historical mystery, one involving the travels of Mark Twain, the genius of Nikola Tesla, and the adventures of famous explorer, Henry Morgan Stanley.

To unravel a secret going back millennia, Director Crowe and Commander Grayson Pierce will be thrust to opposite sides of the globe. One will search for the truth, traveling from the plague-ridden streets of Cairo to a vast ancient tomb buried under the burning sands of the Sudan; the other will struggle to stop a mad genius locked within a remote Arctic engineering complex, risking the lives of all those he holds dear.

THE SEVENTH PLAGUE is a complex and compelling novel that intertwines simultaneous storylines that converge through a series of cryptic hieroglyphics, arcane biblical philosophies, a cutting edge power source hidden in a clandestine research lab in the Artic and a desperate search through the deserts of Africa for the origins of the plagues of Egypt. THE SEVENTH PLAGUE is an electrifying thrill ride from a master of the genre at the pinnacle of his career.

James Rollins is one of my favorite authors. I have been reading his books for years. The Sigma Series is great but Mr. Rollins has written many very fine books in this genre. I recommend them all.
