forever.
A millennium later,
Somali pirates hijack a yacht off the coast of the Horn of
Africa, kidnapping a young pregnant American woman.
Commander Gray Pierce is enlisted for a covert rescue
mission into the African jungle. The woman is no rich
tourist: she's Amanda Gant-Bennett, daughter of the U.S.
president.
Suspicious that
the kidnapping masks a far more nefarious plot, Gray must
confront a shadowy cabal which has been manipulating events
throughout history...and now challenges the current
presidency.
For this unique
mission, SIGMA is aided by a pair of special operatives with
unique talents: former Army Ranger Captain Tucker Wayne and
his military war dog, Kane. But what should be a
straightforward rescue turns into a fiery ambush and a
deadly act of betrayal, as Gray and his team discover that
the hostage is a pawn in a shattering act of terrorism with
dark repercussions. And the danger is only
beginning...
Halfway around
the world, a firebombing at a fertility clinic in South
Carolina exposes a conspiracy that goes back centuries...a
scheme that lies within our genetic code. With time against
them, SIGMA must race to save an innocent unborn baby whose
very existence raises questions about the nature of
humanity, asking:
Could
you live
forever?
Would
you live forever?Videos
