A war is coming, a battle that will stretch from the prehistoric forests of the ancient past to the cutting-edge research labs of today, all to reveal a true mystery buried deep within our DNA, a mystery that will leave readers changed forever . . .In this groundbreaking masterpiece of ingenuity and intrigue that spans 50,000 years in human history, New York Times bestselling author James Rollins takes us to mankind’s next great leap.But will it mark a new chapter in our development . . . or our extinction?In the remote mountains of Croatia, an archaeologist makes a strange discovery: a subterranean Catholic chapel, hidden for centuries, holds the bones of a Neanderthal woman. In the same cavern system, elaborate primitive paintings tell the story of an immense battle between tribes of Neanderthals and monstrous shadowy figures. Who is this mysterious enemy depicted in these ancient drawings and what do the paintings mean?Before any answers could be made, the investigative team is attacked, while at the same time, a bloody assault is made upon a primate research center outside of Atlanta. How are these events connected? Who is behind these attacks? The search for the truth will take Commander Gray Pierce of Sigma Force 50,000 years into the past. As he and Sigma trace the evolution of human intelligence to its true source, they will be plunged into a cataclysmic battle for the future of humanity that stretches across the globe . . . and beyond.With the fate of our future at stake, Sigma embarks on its most harrowing odyssey ever—a breathtaking quest that will take them from ancient tunnels in Ecuador that span the breadth of South America to a millennia-old necropolis holding the bones of our ancestors. Along the way, revelations involving the lost continent of Atlantis will reveal true mysteries tied to mankind’s first steps on the moon. In the end, Gray Pierce and his team will face to their greatest threat: an ancient evil, resurrected by modern genetic science, strong enough to bring about the end of man’s dominance on this planet.Only this time, Sigma will falter—and the world we know will change forever.

I've been entertained by most of Rollins' books and that is part of the problem. One of the more peculiar traps an author of action series can trap themselves in is the memories the readers have of their earlier books in the series. There's also the "hazard" of presenting material relevant to a member of a specific discipline who might not be able to successfully suspend their disbelief. Rollins in this instance presents us with an alternative to the library in the Map of Bones, where the surviving Alexandrian Library and presumably massed information from the millennia since the library was destroyed were spirited away for the benefit of mankind, once we become worthy. Now, we are presented in a second novel, also with "Bone" in the title, with a second and even more potentially astonishing trove of information, left over from the "emergence" of intelligence in humans during the Wisconsin glacial. The earlier novel hints at a Clarke-like transformation of - some - humanity a la Childhood's End. This most recent story apparently concerns a library that covers more "how we got here," than where we could go from here.Then there's the other side of the coin. I am an archaeologist. I enjoy these kinds of stories. They tackle the weirdnesses around the edges of the profession and generally are entertaining. But ... almost all such stories lean very heavily on the peculiar notion that our ancestors were ignorant and not very bright. Thus you get individuals exclaiming about the precision with which the pyramids were constructed when in fact, equipped with water, a marked stick, and patience and imagination, anyone can create a level surface of just about any imaginable scale. With larger scale areas, helpers are advised.
