Chronicle During Books Bloodline (Sigma Force #8)
James Rollins takes you to the edge of modern medicine, genetics, and technology, revealing the next evolutionary leap forward: Immortality — a future conceived through the monstrous ingenuity of man... Galilee, 1025. A cunning Templar knight uncovers a holy treasure: the Bachal Isu — the staff of Jesus Christ — a priceless icon that holds a mysterious and terrifying power that will forever change humanity if unleashed.A millennium later, Somali pirates hijack a yacht off the coast off the Horn of Africa, kidnapping a young pregnant American woman and brutally killing her husband. Painter Crowe and his SIGMA team are enlisted for the top secret rescue mission. The kidnapped woman is Amanda Gant-Bennett, the daughter of U.S. president James Gant. Crowe is more than a little suspicious that the kidnapping masks a far more nefarious plot.
In the field, Commander Gray Pierce leads his small team of operatives into the treacherous African jungle to find the missing woman. But what should be a straightforward rescue turns into a fiery ambush and a deadly act of betrayal. As Commander Pierce and his team discover, the hostage is a pawn in a shattering act of terrorism with dark and shocking repercussions. And the danger is only beginning...

I've tried several times to become a Rollins fan. It just never quite took. But that's not to say anything negative about this one. It has all of the cliff-hangers and double twists that Rollins is so good at. Plus, this one has a war dog as a key character. Quite enjoyable.Yes: there is a point where the bad guys kidnap one of the good guys, leaving the remaining protagonists racing to outdo the maneuvers of their evil opponents. Rollins, you did it again. In fact, I may start referring to this plot device as a "Rollins." Like, "Damn, they just pulled a Rollins! We must save her!"I jumped into this book less than a week after finishing the previous installment. Usually, I read about one of these every eight months or so; however, the epic conspiracy suggested in
Just finished almost an all-nighter because I simply could not put this book down. Sometimes sleep is over-rated anyway and when you find an amazing, edge of your seat, suspense thriller, you have to finish it.In Bloodline by James Rollins, you are in for an action-packed roller coaster ride from the beginning. Trying not to give away too much, this novel blends a little DaVinci Code, National Treasure, Indiana Jones, Mission Impossible and a twisted bit of Science Fiction into this one, so if
It's an ok read. Not as good as other Sigma Force novels. The one theme that continues in this book is that there are a few loopholes in the scientific/historical explanation given by the author. The arguments, though well-researched, are not very strong and convincing and appear somewhat semi-cooked. Anyway, it's a one-time read. If you are a James Rollins fan, then read this. If you haven't read his other books, I suggest reading The Black Order and The Map of Bones over this.
Although a bit too long, this novel holds attention and gets better with few dull moments. 8 of 10 stars
Ok so after having devoured half of this series you'd think I'd get sick of the science+action+ass-kicking combo, but nope! Rollins knows his stuff, and he does it well. What really, truly broke the mold on this was Tucker & Kane. I am a big animal lover and even incorporate animals in my own books. I get a lot of my inspiration from my own two dogs. So when Rollins introduced Kane (military dog, Tucker's partner), and to top it off had scenes from the dog's POV... I was ready to frown and
Here is another wonderful book by an author who does make me always sit and read from cover to cover in a matter of days. (well hours really!) There is something about his books that always thrills me and makes me ever so eager to read and read and read.In this current novel, we are again thrown into the sinister world inhabited by the Sigma Force agents. All the fantastic characters are back with the addition of two new ones, a man, Tucker, and his combat trained dog, Kane. (hopefully they will
