Crucible

I just finished reading Crucible, the latest Sigma Force novel by James Rollins.  This time, a non-profit organization headquartered in Spain has invented a computer with artificial intelligence so advanced that it would revolutionize the world.  And of course, all the most evil organizations known to man want to get their hands on it.  Several family members of Sigma Force agents are kidnapped and threatened with torture and death unless this computer program is turned over to them, and the story proceeds from there.  I enjoyed reading Crucible, and recommend that you pick up a copy at your local library.  However, just like his friend and fellow adventure novelist Steve Berry did with his most recent book, Rollins makes extremist right wing Catholics the villains in this story. What's the deal with that?  How about making extremist right wing Californians the bad guys for once?  I'm just sayin.'
