 Rating:  - Map of BonesThis book is sort of a slow starter with the same action sequences happening over and over. It picks up about 250 pages in; however, I would recommend reading Black Order by James Rollins instead. This book is much more interesting and a page turner! Rating:  - Map of BonesThis is a fast paced thriller/ mystery. Really good and interesting. Makes one think "What if". Rating:  - Suspend your disbelief and skip pass the dribbleI have read four of Rollins' books, two of which I gave five stars, but since I almost stopped reading this book at most it only gets two stars.

This is the second book in the Sigma series. The first book, Sandstorm, is not as good, and most of the central characters are introduced in Map of Bones and not in the first book.
