A tease
A great start to what I hope will be a great novel, this short story really gets the ball rolling and I can't wait to see where Rollins takes it

Looking forward to the new Sigma force novel. Action packed little adventure with the less important characters is always fun.

Yet another exciting, action-packed adventure from James Rollins. Kowalski is my favorite character and the Desert Eagle is my favorite gun, so this was a win-win for me. :)

When someone hacks into the Smithsonian computer system, Sigma's chief intelligence analyst Jason Carter quickly shuts it down, but not before a hefty number of files are grabbed. Jason discovers that the target was a Smithsonian research project called "Ancient DNA" and the files belong to Dr.Sara Gutierrez. While notifying Sara of the breach, Jason realizes that she is in danger. Director Crowe sends Jason and Joe Kowalski, his only immediately available agents, to her rescue.
I love Joe, so any time he makes an appearance, I'm thrilled, even if Painter isn't. And who wouldn't want to pet a tiger, if the opportunity arose? I've only pet and played with cougars, wolves, and coyotes, so I wouldn't turn that chance down. This is a setup for the next book in the series, so Rollins has provided a fast rescue and some immediate danger, but no answers as yet. And perhaps a greater appreciation for Kowalski by Painter! 4 out of 5.

For something so short, this one packed a big punch! Fast-paced, with concentrations on a character who isn't usually a top member of Sigma.

I read them out of order, but always enjoy a good story with Joe.

Man, awesome short story, and I can't wait to see how the questions will be answered about human intelligence, as well as who wanted the information!
