• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Another good Sigma Force book. Nice to have some closure to certain on-going plot lines and the furhter development of some beloved characters.

Started July 21st, 2013.
Bloody start. Gripping. Very interesting scenes with a trained dog from the dog's perspective.
As I have not read all books in the Sigma-series, rather only few, I cannot say for sure, that all mysteries are solved, but we get to know a lot.
Nefarious plans are revealed.
Entirely satisfying, fast paced, very good descriptions of different scenes (underwater, in caves etc), fights and places.
While the end is too good for my taste - at least one of the main characters should have died, to prove they are not immortal (no pun intended),
the solutions and the back-story of the Guild are very well written.
Warning: one theme may disturb some readers, this book is not for the squeamish! The horrors described are very real.
Page-turner - highly recommended, as far as I remember from the ones I read from Rollins it is the best one.

Bloodline A Sigma Force Novel- 2⭐️  I was sucked in by the prologue.  Then it took about 300 way too long to not move the story nor share the important motivating information in any significant  way. So much skipping on my part without any loss of the cool plot points. Would make a great action movie, but not the overly winded and descriptive thriller I wanted to read. Truly was intrigued but then I just wanted it over. Decent twist near the end.

Third time reading this book, and it’s just as good as I remembered. It’s the culmination of 8 books, and includes many twists and turns. Also has one of my all time favorite twists that I did not see coming the first read, yet in hindsight makes sense.

Kane and Tucker are the best

Not one of my favorite Sigma Force books. The subject matter really disturbed me, maybe being a woman and mother colored my opinion. All the medical bits made my skin crawl. That being said, this author really makes you think about how science is being used for (or against) the greater good. I liked the addition of Kane and Tucker, thought they mixed well with the team, but Seichan I could live without. Unfortunately, the events of this book ensure she will be around for the foreseeable future.

I enjoy these types of books. Very Michael Crichton esque. In terms of blending in some science and history into a fictional adventure.

I return every couple of years to the series.

Pretty gross

Pretty gross and horrific stuff in here. It’s Not for new mothers or those who can’t bear the concept of children suffering.
