The Last Odyssey by James RollinsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I have been reading Rollins for almost 20 years and the one thing that I have always loved is his blend of history and action and the whole narrative of "what if". When reading him, sometimes to really have to stop and google things to see of they are true. Fun stuff!\
In The last Odyssey, our friends from Sigma Force are investigating an Arab Dhow locked in a glacier in Greenland when all hell breaks loose. Literally.
The Homeric epics loom large here and the tantalizing idea of just what was true and what was fiction has our heroes racing around the Med to try to keep a very powerful weapon out of the hands of an Apocalyptic cult bent on the world's destruction.
There is a lot of heart in this book none more so than the very end which will cause a few tears..
This is truly one of those series where you could pick up any book and enjoy it, but they are so much better when you start with Sandstorm and wade though with Painter, Gray, and the others.
