I think my disappointment lies in the narrator. His monotone delivery is distracting, so much so, that if possible I'll return this book leaving the balance "unread".

The genre is one of my favorites.

I don't think so. All his characters have the same voice/accent.

I would listen to Bloodline again because it was very entertaining, suspensfull, and well written.

Action, Developed Characters

The sinking Island.

I liked that Rollins introduced a new character that has potential to show up in future novels. The fact that the current characters are well developed keeps the reader interested and waiting for the next installment.

No extreme reactions, just a very fast paced book.

The recipe works with this series, and I liked the new characters. It will be interesting to see where he takes this next. Possibly has a spin off character that could carry its own series, maybe.

This is my favorite audiobook so far.

This one is just a little better than Map of Bones.

Peter does a great job. He gives most of the characters their own personality.

If I could have, I would have listened to it in one sitting.

I really liked the introduction of Tucker and Kane. I look forward to them in future novels.

I suppose I should have know that this being a Sigma Force novel there'd be 1. A secret facility and 2. The secret facility would blow up at the end and 3. It would look like the Guild was going to be victorious right up to the very last chapter and 4. The real villain wouldn't be the one that seemed so obvious.

But the thing that really bothered me most, and I'm not entirely sure why this never bothered me before in the other Sigma Force novels was the casual way Rollins blows up, shoots, drowns or dismembers people in this novel in one sentence . . . and moves on to the next bit of action, without ever looking back . . . it all seemed so callous, bloodles and detached from any feeling or humanity. It left me cold.

I think I won't be listening to any more Sigma Force novels from here on out!

James Rollins is one of my favorite authors and he didn't disappoint mewith Bloodline. The cast of characters, especially the Signma Group, are like old friends that take me on a whild ride with each new book. I learn so much during the adventure. And as always, there's a hook at the end of the book that makes want to know - when is the next book coming out?

I think James Rollins is incredible. Although a few of his earlier, non-Sigma Force, books were weak, I was unable to turn this audiobook off. I actually fell asleep two nights with my earbuds in from exhaustion, not from lack of action in the story.

Rollins has developed these characters so that the reader can't help but care about them. In this novel, he delves deeper into their lives and uses the DNA premise of the book to add to character development. As always, I felt as if I was in the locations where the story took place; feeling the muggy heat of the American South, the jungles of Africa, the tension in a White House that is inhabited by a President who may or may not (no spoilers) be part of the enemy. Rollins's true gift is his ability to link science, history, story and characters into a palette of extraordinary writing and story-telling.

I never quite know where a Sigma Force novel will end (other than with me wanting more). If you haven't read the other books, I do have to advise that you start from the beginning only so that you feel the true richness of these people that Rollins has created. I know that I am always sad when one of these books ends and Bloodline was no exception!

If you like Rollins' Sigma Force books, this was one of the better recent ones.
