The Last Oracle by James Rollins Book Review
By Nancy Eaton


Commander Gray Pierce, a Sigma Force leader, is walking across the DC Mall when a homeless man heads toward him. Thinking that the man wanted money, he gets out his wallet. Just as he was about to hand him a twenty-dollar bill, Gray noticed that the man's hand was not empty. There was a strange looking coin in it. He was surprised because it was the first time a homeless man tried to pay him.

Subject: The Last Oracle Review

The first book in the Sigma Force Series that I ever read was Black Order, a truly unique and inspiring tale. During the middle I did find it a little hard to comprehend all the medical information discussed between the characters, but now Ive grown fond of this because it makes me believe that an intelligent person is behind the story. The Judas Strain is the next book in the Series, and while reading it, I experienced the same thrills.

When I first opened the Last Oracle, I was stoked again. The beautiful descriptions and sense of wonder had me glued to its pages. However, after diving into less than three quarters of the novel, I began to read it more like a critic than an enthused fan. There were too many repetitive phrases. *Shouts echoed* was one of the them, the use of the word oil* to describe things was constant, and I got this feeling that whoever edited this book was in a hurry to get it published. Thats what happens when the author is pushed towards a deadline; you don't get the same flawless narrative as when he is more focused on perfection than its publication. As for the overall storyline, I did find elements that were hugely entertaining, but to be quite honest, I was slightly disappointed.
