Synopsis

In the latest riveting thriller from James Rollins, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sigma Force series, an international research station in the Coral Sea comes under siege during a geological disaster that triggers massive quakes, deadly tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. To stop the world from burning, it’s up to Sigma Force to uncover a secret buried at the heart of our planet. The Titan Project—an international research station off the coast of Australia—discovers a thriving zone of life in an otherwise dead sea. The area teems with a strange bioluminescent coral that defies science, yet holds great promise for the future. But the loss of a military submarine in the area triggers a brutal attack and sets in motion a geological disaster that destabilizes an entire region.Massive quakes, volcanic eruptions, and deadly tsunamis herald a greater cataclysm to come—for something is stirring miles under the ocean, a threat hidden for millennia.As seas turn toxic and coastlines burn, can Sigma Force stop what has been let loose—especially as an old adversary returns, hunting them and thwarting their every move? For any hope of success, Commander Gray Pierce must search for a key buried in the past, hidden deep in Aboriginal mythology. But what Sigma could uncover is even more frightening—something that will shake the very foundations of humanity.Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

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.

Tides of Fire is the 17th book in the Sigma Force series written by James Rollins. I stumbled upon this one at least a decade ago while waiting in an airport.

Goodreads review by Scottsdale Public Library on October 20, 2023

Rollins has always been great at looping just a little bit of science and speculation about science into the most wonderful plots. I studied Math and Physics in college, so I always look with a jaded eye at books hoping to coopt science into their plots. Many fail; Rollins produces a winner. Grayson,......more

Goodreads review by Shannon on September 19, 2023

2.5 stars. I started reading James Rollins books many years ago, perhaps around 2008, and I loved them for a very long time. But in recent years, I've been more and more disappointed, and I can't say if it's because I've changed as a reader (I'd like to think I've become more discerning) or if the b......more

Dragged on a bit took me 2 months to get through it. I am a big fan of Rollin's Sigma series but I find it is getting to repetitive and unrealistic. Hope the next one improves again.......more
