19. "Crucible" by James Rollins (his newest)

Sun Feb 3, 2019, 04:39 PM

Feb 2019

This was another couldn't-put-it-down by Mr. Rollins. Sigma Force goes up against two sinister groups at the same time. One is a latter day version of the Spanish Inquisition. Mr. Rollins blends science, action, and history, and somehow makes it plausible... Plus a great ending. I loved it.

Just started "The First Conspiracy: The Plot to Kill George Washington", by Brad Meltzer.

Hermetic - The eight barn cats made it through our sub-zero temps OK. They were definitely using the insulated houses I made for them.
