Commentary To Books Sandstorm (Sigma Force #1)
An inexplicable explosion rocks the antiquities collection of a London museum, setting off alarms in clandestine organizations around the world. And now the search for answers is leading Lady Kara Kensington; her friend Safia al-Maaz, the gallery's brilliant and beautiful curator; and their guide, the international adventurer Omaha Dunn, into a world they never dreamed existed: a lost city buried beneath the Arabian desert. But others are being drawn there as well, some with dark and sinister purposes. And the many perils of a death-defying trek deep into the savage heart of the Arabian Peninsula pale before the nightmare waiting to be unearthed at journey's end: an ageless and awesome power that could create a utopia... or destroy everything humankind has built over countless millennia.Mention Books As Sandstorm (Sigma Force #1)

This is one of those stories I felt that I shouldve liked, but didnt. The plot needed some editing it reached the part I felt shouldve been the exciting climax and then kept going, building to the level of absurdity and then the characters killed it.I liked Safia for all of about one page after she was introduced, after which my opinion of her started to wane. After a chapter of her, I was sincerely hoping shed get killed off, so I was very disappointed to learn that not only would she not getGoing to keep this review short and to the point with hopefully NO SPOILERS. What a FUN read! It is like a cross of Jack Reacher/Indiana Jones/Dirk Pitt all rolled into one. I LOVED how the story just "WHAM", starts out fast, grabs a hold of you, and drags you right into the midst of all the action. Yes, it's the typical thriller story: "something weird has happened so let's get our Special Secret Government agent to investigate it", but as corny and cliche' as it might seem, I thoroughly
I happened to read Map of Bones first and loved it and had to therefore add the Sigma Force series to my long list of books to read. I like Bones enough I didn't wait long when I got home to get my name on the waiting list to read the first book in the series. I will get the 3rd book the next time I go to the library...I like this series that much!!!! Great story lines, great action, great cast of characters, my kind of book :) I like this series more than Dan Brown's books. Sandstorm is an
Another read out of order for me, but still very excited to read those familiar names and background that made Sigma. This first book is sort of Indiana Jones with Sci-fi. Plenty of adventure and action throughout the story starting in London where an explosion occurred at a section of British Museum then the story led to a search of lost city of Ubar, Oman. 3.5 star... too much going on the middle of the story.
I have no idea where this author gets his ideas but he certainly can take the reader on a wild ride. This is the first book in the Sigma Force series and the third in the series that I have read. I still like The Doomsday Key: A Sigma Force Novel best (probably because I read it first and the plot had a little bit more plausibility). I'm not familiar with antimatter, buckyballs, and a lot of the other stuff in this novel, but loved the setting.
Sandstorm started out in London with a literal bang and ended with a storm of supposedly epic proportions in an ancient desert city. But by the time it did, I didn't care anymore. All I saw was a swirly world of sand, glass, and static electricity populated by cardboard characters. The good ones would probably survive and the bad ones wouldn't and so what. What happened in between was pedestrian and predictable thriller fare with too many guns and action and not enough thrill.Anti-matter? Bucky
