In the race to save one of their own, Sigma Force must wrestle with the deepest spiritual mysteries of mankind in this mind-expanding adventure from the #1 New York Times bestselling author, told with his trademark blend of cutting edge science, historical mystery, and pulse-pounding action.Arriving home on Christmas Eve, Commander Gray Pierce discovers his house ransacked, his pregnant lover missing, and his best friend’s wife, Kat, unconscious on the kitchen floor. With no shred of evidence to follow, his one hope to find the woman he loves and his unborn child is Kat, the only witness to what happened. But the injured woman is in a semi-comatose state and cannot speak—until a brilliant neurologist offers a radical approach to "unlock" her mind long enough to ask a few questions.What Pierce learns from Kat sets Sigma Force on a frantic quest for answers that are connected to mysteries reaching back to the Spanish Inquisition and to one of the most reviled and blood-soaked books in human history—a Medieval text known as the Malleus Maleficarum, the Hammer of Witches. What they uncover hidden deep in the past will reveal a frightening truth in the present and a future on the brink of annihilation, and force them to confront the ultimate question: What does it mean to have a soul?

"Change is ///good. <br/>To be static is a path to stagnation and regression. <br/><br/>Crucible is a fast-paced thriller that follows a young lady and her creation, Eve together with two best friends Gray and Monk as they save the world from a religious sect who wants to cleanse it of evil with the use of a corrupted version of Eve. <br/><br/>This book is part of the Sigma Force series but can be read as a standalone. Fast paced, heart-breaking and exhilarating, this book will show you the capabilities of human mind and it’s creation, leaving us with a warning to proceed with caution."

"James Rollins has been a favorite of mine for a very long time. His last few books though have been disappointing, the character shave felt more wooden and the dialog stiff, with this being the worst of the bunch. I also got pulled out of the story by his excessive use of passive voice in this book, whoch I dont recall being a problem in earlier novels. I will check out his next offering, but if it doesn't improve significantly I'm probably done."
