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...more

Blood Lines By James Rollins

The best Sigma Force Writing yet!

This is the latest in the Sigma Force series. To me, it’s likely the best one yet. I’ll 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. That’s likely the case with many series that run longer than 5 or 6 books. That accepted, it’s the case here.

I also had some trouble wondering why, after so many books, each book having about a year between them in...more

How high and how far back is this group - let me say it can surprise you and then again with the way the world is today, it might not.

The revelations of the Sigma team and the Guild do not stop in this one. Not sure how much they will blow your mind but they are fairly interesting.

как в одном из предыдущих текстов серии, где-то ближе к четвертому или пятому, чувствуется определенная усталость автора, измучившегося выдумывать очередные хитросплетения замыслов в действительности таинственной организации «гильдия», которой противостоит отделение «сигма», возглавляемое пейнтером кроу; но силой воли писатель все-таки заставил себя «взяться за ум» и довести задуманное до конца, то есть – выбросить остатки клубка многозначительным броском за пределы романа, чтобы было время отдышаться и наплести очередных интриг еще как минимум на один-два романа. все-таки это суперуспешная серия – грех было бы завершить вот так бесславно и быстро.

начинается все с бегства дочери американского президента (никакого барака обамы в фоновых ассоциациях), беременной, на последних месяцах, которая внезапно получает предостерегающее письмо, что ей, а, главное, ее нерожденному ребенку, угрожает смертельная опасность. видимо, доказательства и свидетельства были убедительными, ибо дева, отличающаяся здравомыслием, все-таки сорвалась с места, подхватила мужа и скрылась так, что ее никто не мог найти. до тех пор, пока на яхту, где находились беглецы вблизи сейшельских островов, не совершают нападение. мужа аманды убивают (не обходится без горячащих кровь сцен), а саму ее на сносях похищают и вывозят в сомали.

туда же отправляется и бригада сигмы с заданием вызволить деву. среди участников появляется новый персонаж, спецназовец-одиночка, сопровождаемый верным псом каином. пирс, ковальски, сейхан и этот новый член команды, как ни странно, не оказывающийся подсадной уткой «гильдии», а действительно честным и принципиальным рыцарем практически в тигровой шкуре, переживают массу более чем увлекательных событий в сомали, где в результате операции и других обстоятельств аманда гибнет. до этого похитители вырезают из нее ребенка.

конечно, жуткий поворот событий не может оказаться последним, потому что все случившееся не охватывает и четверти книги. потому что дочь президента все-таки оказывается жива, а ее смерть – не более, чем имитацией, после чего события перемещаются в объединенные арабские эмираты, в дубай, на искусственно возведенный остров, оказывающийся очередным «гнездом» «гильдии». которое становится полигоном жуткой бойни с задействованием всех возможных средств уничтожения. и это далеко не все, потому что скорости реагирования что «гильдии», что «сигмы» (а самое главное – взаимная предусмотрительность) просто космические – хотя, именно этого ты как читатель и ожидаешь от приключенческого экшна.

и далее – снова перемещение событий в америку, где уже разворачивается параллельная история, связанная с искусственным оплодотворением, в результате которого забеременела аманда, в некой клинике в чарльстоне, откуда каналы связи тянутся еще дальше – пересказывать нужно еще очень много, но от пересказа история лучше не станет.

весь роман проходит под знаком тайн генетики, рыцарей-храмовников и аморальности науки, готовой сделать жертвой кого угодно ради высоких интересов и не только приземленно-оплачиваемых, но и как бы возвышенно теоретических. старое давно известное утверждение о том, что «теория без практики мертва» демонстрируется наглядно. не только мертва, но и убийственна. совершенно фантастична, но невероятно реальна – достаточно только перечитать послесловие роллинса, снабжающего уже не только научным комментарием свой текст, но также и ссылками на видео-ресурсы, демонстрирующие в фрагментах то, что он воссоздает как целостность.

в общем и целом – с одной стороны – бредятина, а с другой – очень даже похоже на правду – в той степени, как это может сделать приключенческий роман.(less)

I think so. Not only that, I think this may be Rollin's best novel PERIOD. That's saying a lot considering his litany of well written page turners.

When the president's daughter is kidnapped off the coast of Africa, Sigma Force is called in to rescue her. It's not just that Amanda Gant is the president's daughter though. She's carrying precious cargo: her unborn son. Questions are raised. Why is a nearly full term mother on a boat off the coast of Africa? Who would want to kidnap her? The answers to those questions are expertly revealed over the course of this tightly plotted and addictive page turner of a thriller. And those answers lead to a plot that goes much deeper than what it seems on the surface.

As is usual with the Sigma Force novels (and any Rollins book for that matter), the reader is lead on a continent spanning, technological thrill ride. From the coast of Africa, to Dubai, back to the Blue Ridge Mountains, Rollins writes a riveting and frighteningly factual based techno thriller filled with fantastic characterization, well researched facts and edge-of-your-seat action. Quite simply, NOBODY does this type of book better. Rollins is good, scary good, and this latest offering is just another testament to that fact, another feather in the cap of a thriller master that's second to none. One that I'm happy to say I'm a fan of and have been a fan of ever since I picked up that copy of Subterranean in a used book store more than ten years ago.

All the usuals are back, plus a few welcomed additions AND some old friends fans of Rollins should recognize. One of my favorite aspects of the book, as well as in the series as a whole as of late, is the character development of Seichan. Rollins has taken large steps into making her more than just the cold as ice assassin and unlikely compatriot of Gray Peirce and his Sigma team. She's becoming more human and as a result, more interesting. Two newcomers, Tucker and Kane are welcomed additions to the series and I hope to see more of them in the future. Painter Crowe, Lisa Cummings, Kat Bryant, Monk and the ever fun Kowalski are all back with their true to character voices and personalities and as usual, are just plain great to read.

Kudos to Mr. Rollins for writing another riveting action/thriller/mystery. I can't even imagine the hours that went into just researching the varying types of tech and lore and myth that went into writing Bloodlines. It's staggering just to think about.

FANTASTIC! For fans of the series, you won't want to miss this one. And for newcomers? Go back to the beginning and read 'em all! You'll likely be as addicted to them in short fashion! (less)

Rollins has always written great female characters, strong, capable and smart, complicated and full of depth. But this is the first book that places Kat and Lisa as the action-drivers while Painter is busy researching and Monk is home watching his young daughters. Kat and Lisa are trying to infiltrate a fertility clinic with links to the President's family and his kidnapped daughter, when the operation goes horribly wrong. Meanwhile, Gray is globe-trotting with Kowalski and Seichan, who has a much-expanded role as we learn a lot more about her background and see more of the person she is beneath her smooth-as-glass exterior. While the women have a different style of running an operation, they are just as fierce and action-oriented as their men, and it was a lot of fun to watch their brains and ass-kicking take center stage. The fact that Lisa was wearing St. John while doing so was a really fun detail, one that I got a kick out of but it doesn't take away from the non-stop action/adventure/freaky science that is
Rollins' trademark style.
The new characters are Tucker Wayne, a former Army officer, and his war dog Kane, both of whom bring a rare set of skills. There are several passages narrated from Kane's point of view, which was really unique and eye-opening. It made me look at my dogs differently, giving me some insight into their worldview.
As the search for the President's pregnant daughter begins to overlap with the Guild and the mysterious family at the center of its powerful core referred to as the Bloodline, Painter begins to realize just how close Sigma is to unmasking the puppetmasters behind the Guild.
Kowalski is there for comic relief, Gray's interest in Seichan deepens, and although there are a lot of questions answered, the story takes a different turn at the end, leaving me both satisfied at the resolutions and curious about the new directions.
Good stuff!!(less)

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 you have an interest in any of those, you will just LOVE this one.

The basis for this novel begins with the Knights Templar and ancient history involving a priceless icon that holds a mysterious and terrifying power that promises to change humankind forever. Here's just a sample of what is going on:

"On February 21, 2011, the cover of Time magazine declared: 2045, The Year Man Becomes Immortal. At face value, that might seem a wild claim, but other scientists have made similar statements.

We are living in an exciting time when advances in medicine, genetics, technology, and a myriad of other disciplines are opening the newest frontier for mankind: eternity.

How will that manifest, what form will it take? Within these pages, you'll discover that answer. The concepts raised in this novel are based on facts, on exhaustive research, going back to studies done by the Soviet scientists during the Cold War. But before you turn to that first page, I must make one correction concerning the startling statements made above. They are, in fact, far too conservative in their estimates.

For not only is immortality within our reach - it is already here." (preface excerpt).

Now with the presidents daughter kidnapped, it's only a matter of time before they discover who she really is, and what she is carrying within her that will make her one of the most valuable people in the entire world. If only SIGMA, a unique special operative groups, can locate her before her secret is uncovered, and she becomes a pawn in a shattering act of terrorism with dark repercussions and one that SIGMA may not even be prepared to deal with.

I received Bloodline by James Rollins compliments of William Morrow, a division of Harper Collins Publishers for my honest review and like I stated earlier, this was one I could not put down. Just when you think the good guys might be gaining an upper hand, a darker force will pull them down once again. A true roller coaster ride of great suspense and literal edge of your seat action. It had me surfing the internet while reading this one to see if the places described really exist and how much of this is really fiction! It's that great! For me, I rate this one a 5 out of 5 stars and I already have my husbands interest peaked just telling him what this one contains. This is my first James Rollings novel but definitely will not be my last. (less)

James Rollins was inspired to write Bloodline, the eighth novel in his Sigma series, after reading a Time article titled “2045: The Year Man Becomes Immortal.” (http://www.time.com/time/magazine/art...) The article intrigued Rollins and led him to research the idea and possibility of life extension through science and technology. The resulting novel weaves genetics, history, action, and technology into a pulse-pounding conspiracy story that is impossible to put down.
