I read this in the latter stages of 2023, approximately 3 years after the Covid-19 Worldwide pandemic had first struck.

It was a little uncomfortable doing so at first, especially as the main driver for the plot was the start of a worldwide pandemic that badly affected the Human Race.

Caused by mans encroachment of, and deforestation of, Nature.

Sound at all familiar?

Indeed, in his foreward the author even states that he debated finishing the novel for that very reason ...

Anyway, once you get past the uncomfortable feeling, what you have here is a fairly standard Sigma Force story, with Guy Pierce and his team racing against the clock to find the cause of, and a cure to, the contagion whilst other members of the team look for a scientific solution.

I have to say, however, that this particular entry didn't gel as much with me: perhaps because of the complete sidelining of Seichan and Guy's home life? Perhaps because I didn't find the heavy focus on the natural world as interesting as those that focus more on history (and mythology).

Whatever the reason, it just didn't come across as enjoyable to me.
