Publisher's Summary

During a crowded service at a cathedral in Germany, armed intruders in monks' robes unleash a nightmare of blood and destruction. But the killers have not come for gold; they seek a more valuable prize: the bones of the Magi who once paid homage to a newborn savior...a treasure that could reshape the world.

With the Vatican in turmoil, SIGMA Force leaps into action. An elite team of scientific and Special Forces operatives under the command of Grayson Pierce and accompanied by Lieutenant Rachel Verona of Rome's carabinieri, they are pursuing a deadly mystery that weaves through the sites of the Seven Wonders of the World and ends at the doorstep of an ancient, mystical, and terrifying secret order. For there are those with dark plans for the stolen sacred remains that will alter the future of humankind...when science and religion unite to unleash a horror not seen since the beginning of time.

What the critics say

"This novel about an ancient secret society and the race to find priceless antiquities is sure to be compared to Dan Brown's i>Da Vinci Code, but, in every way, it's a much better book....even those who found Brown's opus unpalatable will thoroughly enjoy the taste of this one." ( Booklist)

Love it.

I started with a later Sigma Force novel, and went back to start at the beginning. While I loved the first one I read (6th Extinction), I really didn’t enjoy the first one very much at all. Map of Bones is where Rollins finds his voice, I feel. I just couldn’t step away from this one.

Gripping

Although there are references to technical scientific matters it doesn’t break the flow of the story and explanations/ definitions intricately woven in without breaking the pace.
