Genre:
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?
