Secure A Copy O Mapa Dos Ossos (Sigma Force, #2) Formulated By James Rollins Provided As Audio Book

Dan Brown, just sillier and with more boombooms
This novel suffers from the same problems as Dan Brown's novels lemme mansplain you somethin', honey, just with more bombastic shootouts and destruction of sacred spaces.
Let's not mention the moreevilthanevil cartoonish villains, shall we And keep mum about the notsosecret "secret" knowledge that even if you are halfway versed in European history and culture will know most of and be able to guess before the socalled "experts".
Total Brown rip in almost all categories, So, if you like Dan, you'll love this!
On a personal note, the treatment and misrepresentation of the Cologne cathedral really hurt.
It's one thing to use a building in a thriller, it's another to totally destroy a world heritage site that is one of the most important medieval churches in the world just to show how evil your villains and how superhero your heroes.
That's what lost this most of its,
Still the very end probably about/through the book the story got more realistic, less overthetop, and actually interesting.
. . which saved it from being astar 'read',
As far as the German audio goes: It was annoying that the speaker didn't know how to say the name Raùl.
He kept saying "Rawl" but beyond that, fine, Էս գալիվուդսկի էքշընը մի հատ մեծ մինուս ունի ու մի հատ էլ մեծ պլյուս.

Oh, man, this was a fantastic book, with things like Magi Bones, mstate metals, and the ancient wonders of the world, and yeah, so freaking good! I thought it ended in England, but no, it ends in France, and yeah, loved rereading it!
First read Januaryst
This book was amazing, I loved it, it was a great start to a great series! This was my second James Rollins book and I'm excited to read another.
His novels read like "beach read" thrillers, but not those you'd feel embarrassed about toting around a public poolside.
I'm a fan of fun mystery series like the ones written by Jeffrey Deaver and Harlan Coben, but with Rollins' books, I actually learn something.
I also love his author's notes following the texts that recommend many of the sources he used for his stories.
I don't imagine it's possible to read a tome on papal history while wearing a bikini, but I don't want to limit my sunshine reads to US Weekly, either.
Rollins' provides a nice balance between academia and suntan oil, My first and still fav from the Sigma series, The science mixed with history is interesting albeit sometimes goes a little over the realism edge but still entertaining.
Keep em coming. فکر میکنم اگر علاقهمند به کتابهای دن براون و ماجراهای رابرت لنگدان باشید از سری نیروی سیگما هم لذت ببرید. البته مجموعۀ سیگما ماجراهای بیشتر و توصیفات فضاهای تاریخی کمتری داره و در اون قهرمانان با کمک همدیگه مشکلات رو حل میکنن و به دانش یه فرد تنها تکیه ندارن.
یکی از نکات جالب این کتاب خاص از مجموعۀ سیگما این بود که بخشی از اتفاقات در همون فضای رمان فرشتگان و شیاطین رخ میداد که چند ماه پیش خونده بودم و به نظرم میاومد که داستان در فضای آشنایی رخ میده.
یکی از ویژگیهای مثبت مجموعۀ سیگما نسبت به ماجراهای رابرت لنگدان اینه که نویسنده در به کار بردن یه تم خاص افراط نمیکنه که باعث بشه خواننده بتونه چیزی رو حدس بزنه. حتی تا صفحات آخر این کتاب هم میتونین موارد غافلگیر کننده پیدا کنینstars. Second in the Sigma Force series after sitelinkSandstorm, I can now see that this is going to be a great series.
These books are incredibly quick reads with fast, well thought out plots, Even though they are quick reads, don't think there is no detail as James Rollins is a research fanatic and packs the book with a lot of interesting details from which he extrapolates some of the more "fantastic" plot devices.
Think "Tom Clancy" meets "Fringe" with a dash of "Indiana Jones" and you will have a good idea what these books are about.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Historical fiction mixed with physics and religious conspiracy, Rollins gives a complex narrative and entertaining at the same time,
idc's a little weak
p: the two bmws continued to pin the mini cooper, no matter how rachel struggled, she could not pull free,
the guns in the back seats swung forward,
before the assailants could open fire, rachel shoved the car into park and yanked her emergency brake, the car jolted with a scream of tearing metal, her rearview mirror shattered. the effort threw off the gunmen's aim, but it was not enough to free her trapped car,
p: "i know nothing except to escort you to the eliport, "
p: he ate the gourmet meal, drank two glasses of red wine, watched some movie with julia roberts, even powernapped for fortytwo minutes.
This is theth book by rollins that i've finished in just two seatings, His books are like this, U just cant stop cz there is always a rush, Reading a rollins book is kind of like reading wikipedia, Lots of information. It would be betteru if u r from science background and have interest in christianity,
The characters, the settings, the science, technology, history, religion all of it was woven into such a complex and thoroughly fascinating story.
It kept me on the edge of my seat, and I did not want it to come to an end.
The DaVinci Code and Dan Brown have nothing on James Rollins and the Map of Bones, Whereas the DaVinci Code was a little beyond realistic, Map of Bones was believable, and in my mind, quite possible.
.stars. Good time pass read Map of Bones is thend book in the Sigma Force series written by James Rollins.
I've previously read the first book in the series and several other novels in this genre, The focus shifts from Painter Crowe to Grayson Pierce now, although Painter does appear in many scenes, Grayson leads a team to prevent the underground Guild from causing more damage around this world this time, they've blown up a church and killed nearlypeople while stealing relics that might be the bones of the Magi, more commonly known as the Three Wise Men.
Several Vatican personnel and the niece of an important one help Grayson on the case,
The plot was a bit wonky for me, When it delves too far into the scientific realm of elements and what can happen to them under different treatments, my mind grows leery, or is it weary Of course, this is necessary to create varied suspense and intriguing complexity.
But I question is it really possible that thousands of years ago, humankind knew all these chemical opportunities There are documented cases of some genius inventions and creations yet when combined with that stroke of luck where a city that's been bombed and fallen under mountains or sea still has a statue with a finger that points the villains or the heroes in the direction of a clue, I struggle! But it's momentary and I pretend this is not meant to befactual.
Then I settle in and enjoy the ride,
Which I did for this one, as I have in others, I love learning about history and connecting the dots, As has happened other times, I research things in between chapters, This time, I found myself fascinated by Alexander the Great and the various transfers of power between popes when there were conflicts or an interregnum.
It's intriguing to learn how much has been lost yet grow curious what has been saved, Is the Vatican truly keeping secret documents Are wealthy men and women holding on to items frommillennia ago purely to protect them from wicked people or religious It's a compelling read from that aspect, and when you toss in a bit of romance, danger, religion, and geography, it can be an addicting read.
I tend to love the turncoat characters, . . in this case, an Asian woman who crosses sides to help both the good and the bad guys, or at least, who we think are the good and the bad guys.
When she appeared, my focus on the scenes and hidden messages became clearer, When I thought she died, I was disappointed, I hope she sticks around as a friend or a foe in the future no spoilers here, other than she might still be alive in the end.
I'm planning to order the third book next month, and I look forward to reading the rest of the series.
.again for this one, Like DaVinci Code amp Angels and Demons No! MUCH BETTER!
What a great read! Rollins has taken a great concept, the power of gold powder like that in manna and the ark of the covenant, and developed a fascinating story.
The history behind the gold powder and the interest of US Special Ops and the Vatican are all explained in great detail with exceptional references to the historical support for all stated facts and assumptions.
The biblical history behind this, much like that in The DVC or AampD, is based on Gnostic gospels which requires some "faith" for lack
of a better word, but again, everything is rooted in historical documentation.
The characters are all well written with unique personalities that 'feed' off of the other characters, The "good guys" are great, showing their shortcomings as well as their positive traits, and the "bad guys" are written wonderfully well, exposed to their core for what they are, what they want and what they are willing to do to achieve their goal.
A page turner from the start, I finished this book which is overpages in length in under a week.
I couldn't wait to get home from work each night to climb back in to the story,
Rollins balanced between both the protagonist and antagonist standpoints throughout the book to create tension and to set up the finale.
Plot twists abound.
I have read many reviews that compare this book to "The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels and Demons".
I am somewhat a Dan Brown fan and I liked The DVC as a diversion and AampD as a strong effort, but I have to give credit to Rollins this book was better on all accounts.
I would compare this to the work of Steve Berry historical accuracy balanced with creative license to create a perfect work of fiction/nonfiction.
If you like Dan Brown or Steve Berry, books about the templars, historical fiction, or any type of espionage/thriller, then this book is for you.
A. I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my next James Rollins book as he is now one of my favorite authors.
Solid speculative fiction and historical thriller, Will look for more in this series, الان که میخوام ازش تعریف کنم میبینم بیشتر عیبهاش به چشمم میاد. از کلیشههای دن براونی که بگذریم یه رابطه رمانتیک آبکی بین دو شخصیت اصلی حضور مهم یه الگوی پدر برای شخصیت اصلی زن ناقص شدن بناهای باستانی و حداقل یک شخصیت منفی متعصب و وحشی که خوانندهی سالم نمیتونه باهاش احساس همدردی کنه و در نتیجه شخصیت محکوم به فراموشیه درمجموع کتاب جالبی بود. هم براون و هم رولینگز مطالب مختلفی از کتابهای دیگه رو جمع میکنند و بعد میذارنشون تو یه قالب شخصیتپردازی و پیرنگنویسی. این کتابها ارزش ادبی بالایی ندارند ولی بخاطر مهارت بالای نویسنده توی خلق تعلیق و یه روند منطقی برای حل معماها خواننده به شدت درگیر میشه. اخر همین کتاب هم منابع نویسنده معرفی شده که به لطف کتاب درموردشون کنجکاو میشید و بعید نیست برید سراغشون. اگه دوست دارین با تاریخ مسیحیت عجایب هفتگانه و کلی مطلب علمی برگریزون آشنا بشید این کتاب رو پیشنهاد میکنم. بهخصوص این که ترجمهی واقعا خوبی داره.
پ. ن: ماجرای نکروپولیس واتیکان هم توی کتاب فرشتگان و شیاطین دن براون که سال ۲۰۰۰ منتشر شد اومده هم تو این کتاب که مال سال ۲۰۰۶ه اگه اونو خوندید اینم میتونه جالب باشه. .
