David McK (3562 KP) rated Crucible (Sigma Force #14) in Books

Feb 20, 2022

Entry #14 in James Rollins now long-running Sigma Force series; again a mixture of science and fiction: think Dan Brown, maybe, or even Michael Crichton.

This time around, the threat that Sigma force (and, perforce, the world) faces is one of our own making: that of Artificial Intelligence (or AI), and - more specifically - that of an 'evil' (one with no moral qualms or compunctions) AI let loose. So, think Terminator's Skynet, basically.

If you've read any of the previous entries in the series, you know pretty much what to expect ...

First movie of the year it's rather good movie rather bleak and dark and still mangers to tell a story that could happen. The fact the movie was made during the pandemic its rather apt there are simulaties between fact and fiction and the way scientists always think they are right and those who appose and think there's no comet heading towards earth. Plus there's a strong cast headed by dicaprio and Lawrence even Streep as the president of America overall good start to the year

An immersive historical fiction novel set in India. Loot by Tania James begins in Mysore in the 1790s, and a young woodcarver called Abbas is summoned to the palace of Tipu Sultan to help a French clockmaker, Lucien du Leze build a clockwork tiger.

And so starts a series of events that will see the end of Tipu Sultans reign, Abbas’ journey to France and his subsequent quest to find and recover the tiger for himself. It’s a tale full of adventure, danger and romance. I really enjoyed it!
