This is the second book I've read by this author, and I am very impressed with his attention to detail and ability to draw you into his stories. After what seems to be a freak accidental lightning strike in the British museum, a group of people must investigate further. Some are scientists, some are archeologists, and one is a wealthy young woman whose family found an amazing relic and established the exhibit at the museum. Her dear friend is one of the scientists. When word of the incident reaches Washington, D. C., a pair of agents from Sigma Force are dispatched to join the team. This story mixes science, archeology, history, and ancient stories in an interesting way. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
