James Rollins's latest Sigma Force novel literally opens with a bang. An explosion deep within the Rocky Mountains causes an anthropologist to burn to death in full view of live television cameras. This alleged act of terrorism is blamed on a radical group of Native Americans. The young woman who is taken into custody and initially blamed for the incident is known only as Kai. To Painter Crowe, leader of Sigma Force, he knows her by another name: niece!

"...a whirlwind ride into the face of American and Native American history..."
