Armed attackers disguised as monks storm a German cathedral during mass. They ignore gold and treasure, seeking something far more precious: the bones of the Magi who visited the infant Christ. These sacred remains hold power to reshape humanity itself. Grayson Pierce leads Sigma Force into the chaos as the Vatican reels from the theft. The pursuit takes Pierce and his team through locations tied to the Seven Wonders of the World. Each site reveals clues about an ancient secret order with dark intentions for the stolen bones. The enemy plans to merge science and religion in ways that could unleash unprecedented destruction. Pierce races against time as the conspiracy unfolds across continents.
