pickThough not my favorite addition of the series, the ending of the 4th book demanded that I break from my monthly schedule of reading to start this one! As usual, it‘s exciting and action-packed. But the villains and their actions are very dark here which made it less fun than some of the earlier books. Looking forward to seeing what happens next though!

pickBook 5 in Sigma Force series. A group of scientists unleash a project that could bring the extinction of humankind. History that traces back to the Greek Oracle of Delphi. It‘s a race against time to solve the mystery but will the past be enough to save the future. A combination of interesting and boring but still a good read. Should be 100 Pgs shorter. Still looking forward to next book in the series. Recommend to history lovers.

Finally getting to start book 5 in the Sigma Force Series. Thoroughly recommend this series for those that like books that have a mixture of history and a modern day thriller, with an element of a Treasure Hunt. Of course you also have the baddies on the same hunt. 🤣 Some great characters in this series and superbly written.
DNF'd @ 54%.
There's nothing wrong with the book. I'm just going thru a very crappy reading slump. 😔 I was enjoying the book, even though the pacing is a tiny itty bit slow. But because of that I decided to DNF so I can return to it one day without any negative associations to it.
Reading slumps are the most awful of things.
Advice: if you're going to use a foreign language in your book, make sure you use it accordingly. "Dahi handi" literally translates to "yogurt pot," or "butter pot," depending on context. With the way it was used in this specific scene, adding the word "pot" at the end of it, even if it's in Hindi, is really awkward. It's like chai. "Chai tea" = tea tea. "Handi pot" = pot pot.
I really like this book so far. The first hundred pages is inspired by Greek mythos, particularly relating to the Oracle of Delphi!

Starting the next book in the Sigma Force series, which came in yesterday! I love how reflective this cover is. The Last Oracle is the fifth book. I don't know much about it aside from the fact that most of it will take place in Delphi and deal with religious prophets. I want to be as surprised as possible with the plot. 😃
