history, making a unique theme into an exhilarating
adventure.

Tucker Wayne and his dog, Kane who freshen up Sigma Force

researched settings, Rollins brings BLOODLINE to life.

doing it, and readers will laugh out loud with lines such as
"this place has gone to the dogs." Kat Bryant is out in the
field for the first time in a long while, and readers will
enjoy her self - assured confidence in the face of evil, and
be reminded why Bryant is a part of Sigma Force.
