Part of Sigma Force, book 10
First published 2014
A military research station in Antarctica sends out a desperate distress call before going silent. When Commander Gray Pierce and his Sigma team arrive to investigate, they find a nightmare. Every person in the facility is dead. Every living thing within fifty square miles has been wiped out. Animals, plants, insects, even bacteria have been completely destroyed. The sterile zone continues to expand outward. Pierce must trace this biological catastrophe back to its source, following clues from an ancient map once housed in the Library of Alexandria. His investigation leads him to discover that Antarctica was once a green continent harboring prehistoric secrets. Buried beneath miles of ice lies a new form of death that threatens to trigger the sixth mass extinction. Pierce races against time as the deadly blight spreads, knowing that all life on Earth hangs in the balance. The answers lie buried in both the frozen past and the darkest jungles of the present.
