The sixteenth installment of Sigma Force series has been long in the works. The title was then argued or voted upon but Kingdom of Bones, which sounds consistent with the rest of the titles, won over Savage Zone. It is a good thing the author and publisher has come to an agreement to use the former as the cover is very telling and beautiful because of that titular anatomical part!
Yes, the official cover of the Kingdom of Bones by James Rollins has been unveiled and it is nothing short of mysterious. It features a toxic or radioactive symbol formed by twisted and broken bones. What I love most about it is it is still consistent with the covers of the last few books in the series!
Check out the official cover of Kingdom of Bones by James Rollins.
Synopsis
From #1 New York Times bestselling author James Rollins, the latest riveting, deeply imaginative thriller in the Sigma Force series, told with his trademark blend of cutting-edge science, historical mystery, and pulse-pounding action.
It begins in Africa . . .
A United Nations relief team in a small village in the Congo makes an alarming discovery. An unknown force is leveling the evolutionary playing field. Men, women, and children have been reduced to a dull, catatonic state. The environment surrounding them—plants and animals—has grown more cunning and predatory, evolving at an exponential pace. The insidious phenomenon is spreading from a cursed site in the jungle — known to locals as the Kingdom of Bones —and sweeping across Africa, threatening the rest of the world.
What has made the biosphere run amok? Is it a natural event? Or more terrifyingly, did someone engineer it?
Commander Gray Pierce and Sigma Force are prepared for the extraordinary and have kept the world safe, vigilance for which they have paid a tragic personal price. Yet, even these brilliant and seasoned scientific warriors do not understand what is behind this frightening development—or know how to stop it. As they race to find answers, the members of Sigma quickly realize they have become the prey.
To head off global catastrophe, Sigma Force must risk their lives to uncover the shattering secret at the heart of the African continent—a truth that will illuminate who we are as a species and where we may be headed . . . sooner than we know.
Mother Nature—red in tooth and claw—is turning against humankind, propelling the entire world into the Kingdom of Bones.
Kingdom of Bones by James Rollins will be released on March 9, 2021.
