A remote military research station sends out a frantic distress call,
ending with a chilling final command: Kill us all! Personnel from the
neighboring base rush in to discover everyone already dead-and not just
the scientists, but every living thing for fifty square miles is
annihilated: every animal, plant, and insect, even bacteria.
The land is entirely sterile-and the blight is spreading.
To halt the inevitable, Commander Gray Pierce and Sigma must unravel a
threat that rises out of the distant past, to a time when Antarctica was
green and all life on Earth balanced upon the blade of a knife.
Following clues from an ancient map rescued from the lost Library of
Alexandria, Sigma will discover the truth about an ancient continent,
about a new form of death buried under miles of ice.
From millennia-old secrets out of the frozen past to mysteries buried
deep in the darkest jungles of today, Sigma will face its greatest
challenge to date: stopping the coming extinction of mankind.
But is it already too late?
