Part of Sigma Force, book 11
First published 2015
In the mountains of Croatia, an archaeologist discovers a hidden Catholic chapel containing Neanderthal bones and primitive paintings depicting a war between ancient tribes and shadowy monsters. Before the team can study these findings, attackers strike both the dig site and a primate research center in Atlanta. Commander Gray Pierce of Sigma Force must connect these violent incidents while racing through 50,000 years of human history. His investigation leads from underground tunnels spanning South America to ancient burial sites holding ancestral remains. Along the way, Pierce uncovers connections between the lost continent of Atlantis and humanity's first lunar missions. The trail reveals that modern genetic science has awakened an ancient threat capable of ending human dominance on Earth. Pierce and his team face their most dangerous mission as they battle to prevent this resurrected evil from changing the world forever.
