Narrative Concering 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...

Real Rating: 3.5* of fiveI read this while I was in the goofy garage during 2014. My delightful friends supported my reading habit, and never once wondered (to me, that is, I have no idea what they said amongst themselves!) why I was asking for Rollins's books.I wanted to read them because they are very entertaining, have enough plot and character development to keep me distracted from being in a public mental health facility, and are intensely visually told stories with deep sci-fi roots andI'd never read James Rollins before and for the first 200 pages I was completely captivated. Unfortunately I started feeling like someone changed authors on me. The writing deteriorated, the plot elements seemed to become repetitive and absurd, and the characters turned silly. Finally I skipped to the last chapter and was able to figure out most of what had happened and was glad I didn't plow through the entire book. Too bad. I was hoping to have found a fun new author to add to my list of
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
This has probably been my favorite in the series. I had trouble putting it down and I could wait to get back to it.The formula is pretty much the same in all Rollins books but reading them apart from each other, I don't really get tired of it. They are just kind of fun action books full of science and fun characters.
Blood Lines By James RollinsThe best Sigma Force Writing yet!This is the latest in the Sigma Force series. To me, its likely the best one yet. Ill tip my hat to the fact that there is a cadence to these books that allows some of the surprises to be expected in one way or another. Thats likely the case with many series that run longer than 5 or 6 books. That accepted, its the case here. I also had some trouble wondering why, after so many books, each book having about a year between them in story
Hmmm, let me think: what is this one supposed to be? A thriller? An expose of certain medical experiments? Science fiction? It seemed like there was a bit of almost everything in this one. And while I mostly enjoyed reading this book, I'm not sure I'd highly recommend it.Aside from the totally unnecessary offensive language and some violence that is more graphic than I enjoy I was pretty well riveted to this book - while I was reading it. But when I finished it and had some time to think, I
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
