The Seventh Plague is the 12th book in the Sigma Force series and Painter Crowe, Grey Pierce, Seichan, and Kowalski, etc. are back trying to save the world from a deadly threat. This time it seems that they deadly plagues from the Bible could happen again. This book did not have intense and wonderful thrilling feeling that the last book had. However, it was interesting to read, the idea that the plagues could have happened for real and the theory for it and I loved the historical part of the book that Rollins' included Mark Twain, Nikola Tesla in the story, although they did not have a large part in the whole story (unfortunately). But, as much as I liked the idea, and enjoyed reading the book, is this not the strongest or the most interesting book I have read in this series and there are no weeping moments (like the ending of the last book in the series). The story was best towards the end when they were searching for a cure. But, Painter Crowe's mission on the Ellesmere Island that intertwined Pierce teams search for the cure was just not so interesting to read and the madman behind the whole thing was not a memorable villain. The Seventh Plague, worked thanks to my love for biblical and historical mysteries. The story did not move me or enthralled me in the way I had hoped it would do. I did like the ending very much when Pierce team found something extraordinary in the jungle in Africa. That's the part I liked the most. I liked the book, but I did not love it. It's still well written and I'm really intrigued by the scientific part of the story, the theory about what could have set off the plagues all those years ago.

A stellar thriller by one of the best-known writers. Seventh Plague not only transports you across Europe, deep into Africa and Egypt but also far into centuries of mysteries concerning Biblical histories. Driven by a glimpse of an apparent Egyptian explanation of the Biblical Book of Exodus, our characters end up all over Europe and out of favor with the Vatican. Immensely readable, impeccably researched, Rollins screams into the end of Seventh Plague with us all thoroughly amazed. I loved this book! It goes in my TBR again file! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that because of all of the details this book and other books in the series are a little long winded. This book has over 600 pages, the story doesn’t need that many pages. ( )
