THE MYSTERY OF WHAT TO READ THIS SUMMER.. ṠOLVED. Available on Kindle and as trade paperbacks
“...a common superstition among the Mongol people is that if Genghis Khan’s tomb is ever found and opened, it will mark the end of the world. So, of course, I had to tell that story.” Join The Force With James Rollins Interview By Suspense Magazine Press Photo Credit: David Sylvian James Rollins is a regular guest within the pages of Suspense Magazine and any fan of his work can certainly understand why. Sometimes an author is just so talented that with one book released, or even two a year, it’s still not enough to quench our thirst for more. James’s work is a magical blend of historical secrets, science, and exotic locales. His newest release, “The Eye of God,” fits that mold. An avid traveler, James not only regularly meets his fans at conferences and bookstores, he’s developed a reputation of being accessible to his fans with a strong online presence in an era where the pressures of social media can be daunting to both new and established authors. An advocate for his peers, James was also active in breathing life into the distinguished International Thriller Writers group. Whether writing his Sigma series, his standalones, or teaming up with a peer, James always shocks us with his pace and intensity, all while walking the tightrope of giving his fans exactly what they want: a remarkable story with characters that are loved or loathed, and an intriguing mix of reality and pure imagination. We were lucky to get a few moments with James before he began his “Eye of God” tour, and we hope you’ll enjoy the insider look. Suspense Magazine (S. MAG.): Give us look inside your latest book “The Eye of God” that is not on the back cover James Rollins (J.R.): In all of my books, I love to blend truth and fiction. In this novel, a major plot element is a comet that sweeps past earth—but there’s something “strange” about this comet, something that sets the astronomical world on fire. I based this celestial event on a real comet that is due to pass by our planet this coming November. What’s intriguing about this comet is that it will be the brightest comet ever to light the night sky, so bright in fact that it will be visible during the daytime. And as comets have historically been harbingers of doom, I knew this spectacular November visitor needed its own mythology—and that became “The Eye of God.” S. MAG.: With this being the ninth book in the Sigma Force series, what surprises have you learned along the way with the series J.R.: Every book surprises me. Sometimes it’s that character that walks onto stage—someone who I thought was going to be a bit player—but who becomes a significant element to the series. Some of the deaths have also caught me off guard. But I think SuspenseMagazine.com 71
