Story
At Princeton University, a famed geneticist dies inside a biohazard lab. In Rome, a Vatican archaeologist is found dead in St. Peter's Basilica. In Africa, a U.S. senator's son is slain outside a Red Cross camp. The three murders on three continents bear a horrifying connection: all the victims are marked by a Druidic pagan cross burned into their flesh. The bizarre murders thrust Commander Gray Pierce and Sigma Force into a race against time to solve a riddle going back centuries.

Subsequently, the medical team who had performed the man's autopsy has fallen ill with an unknown disease. Fearing the worst, a colleague of the professor reaches out to Painter Crowe, the director of Sigma Force. The call is urgent, for Professor McCabe had vanished into the desert while searching for proof of the ten plagues of Moses.

Story
Twenty years ago, a wealthy British financier disappeared near Ubar, the fabled lost city buried beneath the sands of Oman. Now, an expedition of scientists, led by the financier’s daughter, is finally setting off for the legendary metropolis to unlock the desert’s secrets. What they find, however, is more beautiful than they ever dreamed — and far deadlier. Within Ubar is a powerful energy source that could fuel the entire earth above — if it can be harnessed.

Publisher's Summary
In Washington, D.C., a homeless man dies in Commander Gray Pierce's arms, shot by an assassin's bullet. But the death leaves behind a greater mystery: a bloody coin found clutched in the dead man's hand, an ancient relic that can be traced back to the Greek Oracle of Delphi. As ruthless hunters search for the stolen artifact, Gray Pierce discovers that the coin is the key to unlocking a plot that dates back to the Cold War and threatens the very foundation of humanity.
An international think tank of scientists known as the Jasons has discovered a way to bioengineer autistic children who show savant talents - mathematical geniuses, statistical masterminds, brilliant conceptual artists - into something far greater and far more frightening, in hopes of creating a world prophet for the new millennium, one to be manipulated to create a new era of global peace . . . a peace on their own terms.
Halfway around the world, a man wakes up in a hospital bed with no memory of who he is, knowing only that he's a prisoner in a subterranean research facility. With the help of three unusual children, he makes his escape across a mountainous and radioactive countryside, pursued by savage hunters bred in the same laboratory. But his goal is not escape, nor even survival. In order to thwart a plot to wipe out a quarter of the world's population, he must sacrifice all, even the children who rescued him.
From ancient Greek temples to glittering mausoleums, from the slums of India to the toxic ruins of Russia, two men must race against time to solve a mystery that dates back to the first famous oracle of history - the Greek Oracle of Delphi.
But one question remains: Will the past be enough to save the future?

my only complaint would be the changing of narrators between books. As they tend to change the pronunciation of names which at first confuses you.

Maybe an OK book if you like the word 'feral'
I listen to a lot of books, but have never been inclined to write a review. The title of my review is joking but true. the author seems to love the word feral, and uses it many many times in this book..way overcooked. While that doesnt make a book a bad read, I'm really not enjoying this book. It is one of those books that jumps around between locations, has several main characters, but none of the characters are developed so there is a serious disconnect from the character. Most of the book is comprised of escape scenes...

Always a Great Escape!
James Rollins books are always a Great Escape...they take you on an incredible journey as well as always a thrilling ride featuring a time crunching escape. There is always a puzzle and The Last Oracle has yet another thrilling puzzle and continuous chase. I appreciate the characters who are strong and yet have flaws. I have read or listened to all his books and each time I am taken with the BOND-ESQUE, DaVinci Code style adventure. OKay so some is totally unrealistic, but Rollins makes it imaginative. Also the narrator is SUPERB, changes voices and accents easily, a pleasure to absord and listen too.

1 Star is way too generous
Three Problems with this book.
1) Bad Writing. James Rollins tries to write a Clive Cussler-type novel, but because this book is so poorly written it makes Cussler read like Hemingway. The only character that seemed real was the monkey; the rest were so contrived it was embarrassing. Rollins needs to study real conversation between real people and write dialog that matches it. The dialog in this novel was straight out of the Batman TV series.
2) The narrator didn't help. His "voices" were right out of Rocky and Bullwinkle and I found them irritating. I have listened to biographies that were more exciting to listen to than this. This narrator is better suited to nonfiction and should avoid novels. I do not mean this as an insult.
3) I am amazed that a publisher thought that this material was good enough to publish. Not just good, but so good it should be an audiobook. So good, in fact, that it should have cheesy music play between random chapters to add drama.
After 13 hours, just one hour before the climactic ending, I finally couldn't take any more and stopped listening. They finally wore me down and I just didn't care anymore.
If you like a book that will continually insult your intelligence then this is the book for you.

Wasn't for me
I enjoyed the fast pace and the characters, but the story didn't hold my attention like I'd hoped it would. I suspect that starting the series from the beginning would have been a huge help here. I recommend starting with the first book if you want to give this series a try.

Can I get the audible without the dramatic music??
The dramatic music at the beginning of each chapter was very distracting and annoying. It was hard to hear the narrative over the instrumental music. It took away from the experience for me and didn’t flow well with the chapter openings. The drums and music should not drown out the spoken words. Other than that, I really enjoyed this book.

These Sigma stories keep building and building.
James Rollins must have the long game planned out already. Each Sigma story just keeps building to something big. The books each have their own uniqueness, but most definitely need to be read in order.
The only reason for a 3-star performance is because of the unnecessary music! The narrator is solid as usual, but the music just annoys every time it comes on. That said, it doesn't ruin this story.
