Annotation: In James Rollins's scintillating sixth Sigma Force novel, the team must somehow unravel a diabolic triple homicide, burdened by the fact that the murders take place on three different continents. Commander Grayson Pierce and his crew soon discover a secret code attached to a mummified corpse, which in turn unveils the "Doomsday Key," an ancient medicinal substance which could easily eradicate humanity from existence.
