About the Author:

JAMES ROLLINS is the New York Time extended, USA Today and Publishers Weekly bestselling author of Map of Bones and other adventure thrillers.  Rollins is also a veterinarian in Northern California, who when not writing or working in his veterinary practice, can often be found underground or underwater as an amateur spelunker and scuba diver.  These hobbies have helped in the creation of his earlier books Subterranean, Deep Fathom, Amazonia, and Sandstorm.   Map of Bones, was chosen by Publishers Weekly as one of the most likely to win over Dan Brown’s faithful audience, and the New York Times ranked the book as one of last summer’s top crowd pleasers.
