Commander Gray Pierce of Sigma Force and his team are sent to the jungles of Africa with new members, former Army Ranger Captain Tucker Wayne and his military dog, Kane, to rescue the U.S. President's pregnant daughter from pirates. After an act of betrayal and an ambush, Pierce realizes the kidnapping is part of a horrifying terrorist agenda. Pierce and his team find themselves trying to save an innocent unborn baby who could possibly be the link to ever lasting life.

Every time James Rollins writes a Sigma Force novel the story gets better and better! BLOODLINE is filled with fight scenes, political intrigue, innovative science, medieval history, a modest amount of humor, and a bit of romance, creating a nail - biting plot that makes BLOODLINE hard to put down. Rollins, as usual, easily combines science and history, making a unique theme into an exhilarating adventure.

Rollins introduces new characters to Sigma Force, Tucker Wayne and his dog, Kane who freshen up Sigma Force like never before. With attention - grabbing and well researched settings, Rollins brings BLOODLINE to life. Commander Gray Pierce is at his finest, and his vulnerable side is revealed as he deals with the death of his mother. Kowalski bring his usual brand of comic relief without over 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.

BLOODLINE is a recommended read, because no one writes action adventure quite like James Rollins.
