Another outstanding book by Rollins, among his best. His Sigma Force characters are really solid now, very interesting to follow, but throw in a quick-moving, tense plot, and this book just really flows well. Once again, I think Rollins is this generation's Michael Crichton. Rollins has a way of introducing concepts in the world of science and technology that just pull the reader in.

Guild এর সাথে সিগমা ফোর্সের টক্কর বারবার লাগছিল,কিন্তু কখনই পরিষ্কার করে লেখক কিছু বলেননি। Doomsday Key থেকে আস্তে আস্তে দ্বন্দ্বটা প্রকাশ্যে আসছিল,Devil Colony এর শেষে বোঝা যাচ্ছিল চূড়ান্ত পর্যায়ে চলে এসেছে।
Bloodline এর পটভূমিই ছিল Guild এর সাথে সিগমা ফোর্সের মুখোমুখি লড়াই,বইটা লড়াই ফুটিয়ে তুলতে পুরোপুরি সার্থক। Tucker Wayne আর Kane কে Tracker ছোটগল্প দিয়ে পরিচয় করিয়ে দেবার পর এখানে দারুণভাবে সিগমার মূল কাঠামোতে নিয়ে এসেছেন রলিন্স।Kat Bryant আর Lisa Cummings কে অনেকদিন পর অ্যাকশনে দেখাটাও তৃপ্তিদায়ক ছিল।
Gray Pierce আর Seichan কে নিয়ে কিছু বলার নেই,they are both awesome.

বইটা শেষ করে তৃপ্তি পেয়েছি,এই অনুভূতিটা ইন্টারেস্টিং। লেখক একটা রহস্য জট পাকিয়েছেন অনেক দিন ধরে,ক্লাইম্যাক্সের চূড়ান্ত পর্যায়ে এসে তিনি কাহিনী সমাপ্ত করে পাঠক হিসেবে আমার খিদে মিটিয়েছেন।

James Rollins,you rock!

Sigma Force 8

When the President's pregnant daughter is kidnapped, Sigma sends Gray Pierce, Seichan, and Joe Kowalski to find and rescue her. On the way to Somalia, they pick up Tucker Wayne and Kane as their secret weapon. The search may also be the key to finding the power behind the Guild, if they can survive that long.

A horrific tale regarding the search for immortality without morality. If you're squeamish, you might want to skip this one. Because the science is real, it is all the more frightening. The pursuit of science, of discovery, of power, can be a heady thing and cause a locked-in laser focus, losing the humanity and morality on the way. There must be oversight, there must be care.

There are also lots of changes coming to Sigma and its personnel, both personally and professionally. I have to say that I approve of it all. Kat and Monk, Painter and Lisa, Gray and Seichan, it's all good! I've also come to have a new appreciation for both President Gant and his brother. The President himself I always considered self-centered and weak. Boy, was I wrong! He's anything but when it comes to someone he loves. A fantastic read, as always, from Rollins. 5 out of 5.

WOW!! I think this is my favorite Sigma novel. I loved the new characters: Tucker and Kane. The perspective from Kane was wonderful. Keep them in the future Sigma books!! James, you and your writing ROCK!! Keep up the good work. Now i just have to wait a whole year to get the next Sigma novel.

I think this was one of the best so far! Instead of encountering the Guild during a mission, Sigma goes on the defensive and hunts them. I appreciated the science in this one a lot, and I loved the addition of Tucker and Kane to this book. I hope to see more of them in future Sigma Force books, and will likely read his spin off series about the two of them.
