"Roller-Coaster" Read(NAPSI) - Hot off the presses in paperback, New York Times and USA Today best-selling author James Rollins' edge-of-your-seat thriller "The Doomsday Key" (Harper mass market) finds Sigma Force--an elite, covert unit--embroiled in a centuries-old secret. "The Doomsday Key" has been described as being more like a roller-coaster ride than a novel.
Three murders bear horrifying resemblances: At Princeton University, a famed geneticist dies inside a biohazard lab. In Rome, a Vatican archaeologist is found dead in the heart of St. Peter's Basilica. In Africa, a U.S. senator's son is slain within a Red Cross camp. A Druidic pagan cross connects them.
The bizarre murders thrust Commander Gray Pierce and Sigma Force into a global hunt for a powerful group of industrialists who have a stranglehold on the world's food supply. Aided by two women from his past, Gray flees a trio of high-tech assassins as he pieces together the clues.
In every Sigma Force thriller, Rollins contemplates how the advancement of technology--if used by the wrong people--could lead to the catastrophic destruction of society. Here, Rollins explores how overpopulation and the diminishing food supply have spurred scientists to create genetically modified crops to better feed the hungry.
