some Bible fun comes back to threaten the world They are chased by a cold hearted, extremely skilled female killer view spoiler who managed to stay alive at the end, woohooo hide spoiler , a true match to my fave girlie, Seichan Kowalski just shined in this book Like in the previous book, he supplied the muscle power, exciting destruction and of course some comic relief Kowalski sat behind the wheel, his elbow resting on the sill of the open window, cigar smoke...Noooooo not another Sigma book The formula of mythical tales conspiracies pseudoscience unbelievable action sprinkled with some science doesn t work any.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 boo 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 fro...I ve read all the Sigma Force novels and I have to say they have started to be very repetitive I was barely about to get passed the mythical scientific inaccuracies unfortunately these types of books are always full of them Also some of the action was really out landish, but again I could make it passed that But then it went from being a typical archaeological mystery with enemies and secret societies to down right ridiculous There were some good parts, but most of it was meh I love I ve read all the Sigma Force novels and I have to say they have started to be very repetitive I was barely about to get passed the mythical scientific inaccuracies unfortunately these types of books are always full of them Also some of the action was really out landish, but again I could make it passed that But then it went from being a typical archaeological mystery with enemies and secret societies...Just couldn t take the clich s any, this book failed to generate a willing suspension of disbelief I had read it 100 times before and seemed to hit every clich for these types of books, the race to solve things, the astonishing ease where the team resolve thousand year old mysteries, the bad guys always just catching up, the secret organisations, myths etc etc It just followed a competent formula without adding anything special or new and as a result I felt a little let down and underwh Just couldn t take the clich s any, this

even for fiction And, as usual, most of the characters are comic book supermen superwomen All have doctorates and some world class skill Too much of everything This one volume is enough of Mr Rollins The series itself seems to be getting predictable and cookie cutter The cookie cutter essentially involves Grey P going off in one plot direction, Painter C goes off in another plot directi Not Rollin

they have generally managed to stay just the right side of the line of believability In the early days they also benefitted from a combination of originality and sheer verve and pace of story telling, all of which helped paper over the many cracks, such as lumpen dialogue and excessive use of lazy stylistic tricks like ending every chapter on an unnecessary cliff hanger With the recent books
