About this ebook

From bestselling authors James Rollins and Grant Blackwood, the first installment in an exciting new thriller series based on the Sigma Force novels featuring former Army Ranger Tucker Wayne and his partner, Army working dog Kane, introduced in the New York Times bestseller Bloodline and the e-original story "Tracker."

Former Army Ranger Tucker Wayne and his military working dog Kane are recruited by Sigma Force to extract a Russian pharmaceutical magnate from Siberia. A scientific genius, the drug tycoon holds the biological key to a new weapon system, a danger engineered from the ancient past to terrorize the modern world.

From the frozen steppes of Russia to the sun-blasted savannahs of Africa, Tucker and Kane must piece together a mystery going back to the origins of life on Earth—before the ancient peril can destroy the heartland of America, and with it, all of humankind.

Ratings and reviews

This book was definitely not up to Rollins' standards. I knew from the get-go how the book would end. No surprises, no plot twists, etc. Then, three-quarters of the way through, the book should have been all about our hero(s) getting away, with a lot of hold-on-to-your-seat suspense. But for some reason the author chose to, at this point in the book, educate us about plant life. All of this should have been covered early on. Go figure!

Love that dog! Tucker & Kane make a wonderful team. Great story. Well researched and action packed. Which is what we have come to expect from Rollins- and he doesn't disappoint in The Kill Switch

This is a must read for any fan of James Rollins and or dogs Military or civilian. As usual I also learned new things from this book.
