Rese�a del editor:

New York Times bestseller James Rollins brings back SIGMA Force to battle a group of rogue scientists who ve unleashed a bioengineering project that could bring about the extinction of mankind.

What if you could bio-engineer the next great world prophet, to scientifically produce the next Buddha, the next Mohammed, or even the next Jesus? Would it mark the Second Coming or initiate a chain reaction leading to the end of mankind?

A think tank of world scientists known as the JASONS formed during the Cold War and discovered a way to manipulate and enhance autistic children who show savant talents--mathematical geniuses, statistical masterminds, brilliant conceptual artists--yet a strange side-effect begins to arise. Before it can be analyzed fully, a rogue group of the JASONS begins their own secret experimentation with a cadre of the best children. They seek to create a world prophet for the new millennium, one to be manipulated to create a new era of global peace...a peace on their own terms. But such manipulation has grim consequences as a biological meltdown among the children begins to occur--turning the innocent into something frightening.

To stop the JASONS before they engineer the extinction of mankind, Commander Gray Pierce of SIGMA Force races against time to solve a mystery that dates back to the first famous oracle of history--the Greek Oracle of Delphi. But can the past save the future?
