Literary immortality achieved with Bloodline

James Rollins latest entry in the Sigma Force series – Bloodline – is a piece of literary fiction that epitomizes the notion of greatness. From the first printed word to the very last, Mr. Rollins crafts the perfect balance of mystery, suspense, intrigue, tension, fear, blood-chilling evilness, heart-felt compassion and lip curling humor that takes the reader on a roller coaster ride of emotions. The characters are wonderfully textured and full of depth. The plot is ingeniously complex and thought provoking. The technological and scientific advances that lace the narrative are as amazing and astonishing as they are disturbing. The litany of unexpected twists and turns keeps the reader on the edge of their seat, anxiously awaiting the next startling revelation to grab a hold and drag them deeper and deeper into the story…longing never to return. And just when you think --“how in the world can the story possibly proceed from here and do the series justice?”—Mr. Rollins eloquently lays the foundation in the final few chapters from which the Sigma Force crew can certainly launch their next adventure with the potential for even more intrigue and heart-pounding excitement.

Every now and then something special comes along. Something that re-calibrates our measuring stick of what greatness truly is. Something that causes us to simply shake our heads in a state of utter amazement and a sense of profound appreciation for having witnessed or been a part of something extraordinary. Something that reminds us of just how incredibly talented and gifted some folks truly are. In the realm of fictional thrillers, Mr. Rollins has achieved this feat with Bloodline. Bloodline is Mr. Rollins Picasso. A stroke of perfection.

The only question now is when and where can the rest of us “Sigmaholics” pre-order the next installment?
