Synopsis

If the biblical plagues of Egypt truly happened—could they happen again—on a global scale?Two years after vanishing into the Sudanese desert, Professor Harold McCabe comes stumbling out of the sands, but he dies before he can tell his story. Then an autopsy uncovers a bizarre corruption: someone had begun to mummify the professor’s body—while he was still alive. 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. As the pandemic grows, a disturbing question arises. Are those plagues starting again? To unravel a secret going back millennia, Director Crowe and Commander Grayson Pierce will be thrust to opposite sides of the globe. As the global crisis grows ever larger, Sigma Force will confront a threat born of the ancient past and made real by the latest science—a danger that will unleash a cascading series of plagues, culminating in a scourge that could kill all of the world’s children . . . decimating humankind forever.

About James Rollins

Veterinary Medicine is a very time consuming, stressful profession, especially for the owner of the veterinary practice. Author, James Rollins (aka James Paul Czajkowski) began his adult career with a DVM degree from the University of Missouri in 1985. He was then working as many as 18 hours a day, while writing on his lunch time, or any spare minutes he might find. For ten years he operated his practice, employing as many as 24 staff personnel, continuing to write during spare moments. One day, he decided to reverse the job and hobby routine. He began writing full time and spent a day or so per week volunteering to do neuter surgeries at the local SPCA.

Rollins began his storytelling very early as a child, so it came naturally to him by the time he made it his main career. His writing gives the reader a look into unseen worlds, mostly underground or underwater. His books are full of originality, scientific breakthroughs, as well as historical insight. All of this packed into a fast paced story line that is honed using his basic knowledge of science and medicine. That skill sets James Rollin's books apart from the others. He is a #1 New York Times bestselling author of international thrillers that are translated into over forty languages. His "Sigma" series is his most popular.

The Seventh Plague is the 12th book in the Sigma Force thriller series written by James Rollins.

Goodreads review by ReadandSmile on August 19, 2016

I've read all the Sigma Force novels and I have to say they have started to be very repetitive. I was barely about to get passed the mythical & scientific inaccuracies (unfortunately these types of books are always full of them). Also some of the action was really out-landish, but again I could make......more

Goodreads review by Prakash on August 19, 2016

Just couldn't take the clichés anymore, this book failed to generate a "willing suspension of disbelief". I had read it 100 times before and seemed to hit every cliché for these types of books, the race to solve things, the astonishing ease where the team resolve thousand year old mysteries, the bad......more
