If the biblical plagues of Egypt truly happened–could they happen again–on a global scale?
Two years after vanishing into the Sudanese desert, the leader of a
British archeological expedition, Professor Harold McCabe, comes
stumbling out of the sands, frantic and delirious, but he dies before he
can tell his story. The mystery deepens when an autopsy uncovers a
bizarre corruption: someone had begun to mummify the professor’s
body–while he was still alive.
His strange remains are returned to London for further study, when
alarming news arrives from Egypt. The medical team who had performed the
man’s autopsy has fallen ill with an unknown disease, one that is
quickly spreading throughout Cairo. Fearing the worst, a colleague of
the professor reaches out to a longtime friend: 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?
Before Director Crowe can investigate, a mysterious group of
assassins leaves behind a fiery wake of destruction and death, erasing
all evidence. With the professor’s body incinerated, his home
firebombed, Sigma Force must turn to the archaeologist’s only daughter,
Jane McCabe, for help. While sifting through what’s left of her father’s
work, she discovers a puzzling connection, tying the current threat to a
shocking historical mystery, one involving the travels of Mark Twain,
the genius of Nikola Tesla, and the adventures of famous explorer, Henry
Morgan Stanley.
To unravel a secret going back millennia, Director Crowe and
Commander Grayson Pierce will be thrust to opposite sides of the globe.
One will search for the truth, traveling from the plague-ridden streets
of Cairo to a vast ancient tomb buried under the burning sands of the
Sudan; the other will struggle to stop a mad genius locked within a
remote Arctic engineering complex, risking the lives of all those he
holds dear.
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
mankind forever.
