James Rollins is a New York Times top ten bestselling author. All his novels reprint - MAP OF BONES alone has sold over 100,000 copies so far. Rollins' novels are in the bestselling tradition of Dan Brown and Raymond Khoury. THE LAST ORACLE is a pulse-pounding mix of science, adventure and mystery, blending ancient secrets with cutting-edge technology. He's already been attracting excellent reviews: 'A non-stop thrill-a-minute ride' Tess Gerritsen. 'This novel about an ancient secret society and the race to find priceless antiquities is sure to be compared to Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code, but, in every way, it's a much better book. Where Brown's bestseller was predictable despite its compelling premise, this tale is clever and suspenseful' Booklist. 'An adventure in the grand manner. Rollins takes the reader through the horror and intrigue...like no one else. The action never relents' Clive Cussler.
