Synopsis

#1 New York Times bestselling author James Rollins delivers a masterful epic that combines timeless mystery and ripped-from-the-headlines scientific intrigue.

A military research station buried in the remote Sierra Nevada Mountains of Northern California broadcasts a frantic distress call that ends with a chilling order: "There's been a breach. Failsafe initiated. No matter the outcome: Kill us . . . kill us all."

When park ranger Jenna Beck arrives with her search-and-rescue dog Nikko to investigate, they discover that all of the scientists in the lab are dead and every living thing for fifty square miles is annihilated: animals, plants, insects, even bacteria. The land is completely sterile--and the blight is spreading.

Only one team on earth has the scientific knowledge and military precision to handle this mission: Commander Gray Pierce and Sigma. As Pierce and his team race to decipher millennia-old secrets, they face their greatest challenge yet: stopping the sixth extinction--the end of humankind.

About this title

Review:

"Rollins has done it again. Real history and science play a key role in all of the action, which never wanes. Amid all of the chaos are some terrific characters who get a chance to shine. Definitely keep an eye out for this one."--Library Journal (starred review) on THE EYE OF GOD

"The 6th Extinction is a thrilling novel that not only entertains, but makes the reader think a great deal."--Huffington Post on THE 6TH EXTINCTION

"Rollins' smart writing gives us the adventure, the humor, the humanity, and the adventure- nothing is wasted, and nothing is sacrificed."--Mustard Seed Thoughts on THE 6TH EXTINCTION

"The action is of course nonstop and over the top, as readers have come to expect and enjoy from Rollins, while the science is startling and fascinating."--Book Banter on THE 6TH EXTINCTION

"This is an exciting -- and scary -- legitimate page turner."--Examiner.com on THE 6TH EXTINCTION

"The science... reads like the best of Michael Crichton. The machinations of government read like the best of David Baldacci. And the action and thrills read like the best of Clive Cussler. Rollins takes the best of all of these and creates an amazing thriller unlike any other."--Associated Press on Bloodline on THE EYE OF GOD

" . . . this is your summer beach read writ large."--New York Journal of Books on THE EYE OF GOD

"The book has everything the genre demands: Nazis, ancient maps, alien life forms, a ticking nuclear clock, and exotic, deadly beasts. Rollins makes it all believable, and ties everything together in a satisfying climax that hints at more adventures to come."--Publishers Weekly on THE 6TH EXTINCTION

"This is another fast-paced mixture of real science, real history, and wild speculation. For speed freaks (narrative speed, that is), Rollins always delivers the goods. Readers, start your engines."--Booklist on THE 6TH EXTINCTION

"Adventure, history, science, and technology-sheer perfection from an author who is used to giving exactly that every time he tells a tale!"--Suspense Magazine on THE 6TH EXTINCTION
