Bloodline

A Sigma Force Novel

De: James Rollins

Narrado por: Peter Jay Fernandez

In a thrilling masterwork that will make you rethink your perceptions of life and death, James Rollins, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sigma Force series, takes you to the edge of medicine, genetics, and technology, revealing the next evolutionary leap forward: immortality.

Galilee, 1025. Infiltrating an ancient citadel, a Templar knight uncovers a holy treasure long hidden within the fortress’s labyrinth: the Bachal Isu — the staff of Jesus Christ — a priceless icon that holds a mysterious and terrifying power that promises to change humankind forever.

A millennium later, Somali pirates hijack a yacht off the coast of the Horn of Africa, kidnapping a young pregnant American woman. Commander Gray Pierce is enlisted for a covert rescue mission into the African jungle. The woman is no rich tourist: she’s Amanda Gant-Bennett, daughter of the U.S. president.

Suspicious that the kidnapping masks a far more nefarious plot, Gray must confront a shadowy cabal which has been manipulating events throughout history…and now challenges the current presidency.

For this unique mission, SIGMA is aided by a pair of special operatives with unique talents: former Army Ranger Captain Tucker Wayne and his military war dog, Kane. But what should be a straightforward rescue turns into a fiery ambush and a deadly act of betrayal, as Gray and his team discover that the hostage is a pawn in a shattering act of terrorism with dark repercussions? And the danger is only beginning…

Halfway around the world, a firebombing at a fertility clinic in South Carolina exposes a conspiracy that goes back centuries…a scheme that lies within our genetic code. With time against them, SIGMA must race to save an innocent unborn baby whose very existence raises questions about the nature of humanity, asking:

Could you live forever?

Would you live forever?

Very enthralling! I couldn't stop listening to it

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

I enjoyed the story - A good Read

This was my first Rollins book I have ever listened to / read. And I enjoyed it, its a good book with a lot of action. I am always worried that a book this far into a series of characters will leave me not understanding part of the story line, I never felt that way at all. I am not looking at getting another book in this series.

Just Riviting

Rollins is a master of the pen, but this book was just remarkable. There were multiple climactic plot lines, surprises. There was great information conveyed regarding the use of military war dogs, I really loved that aspect of this book.

I fully recommend this book to any readers of the genre

Great Story and Narration

Would you consider the audio edition of Bloodline to be better than the print version?

I have no idea. Personal preference. I like the audio version a lot. This narrator is pretty good. Not as talented as the guy that narrates the Brad Thor books.

What other book might you compare Bloodline to and why?

Full Black, books by Steve Berry and Brad Thor

What about Peter Jay Fernandez’s performance did you like?

He was fair.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The story was pretty good. Learning who the villian(s) are was instrumental, especially since part of this carried over from the previous novel.

LOVE IT. Listened to entire series multiple times

great book and can't get enough of this series. I've listened to the entire sigma series multiple times and all Rollins books. they just keep getting better

excellent

Best book in the series, so far! Can't wait to listen to the rest of the series...

Twists and turns

Interwoven twists, character development, pulled together previous stories and characters, suspense, mix of historical and scientific real world with fiction.

Excellent Read

Would you listen to Bloodline again? Why?

Yes, because you always discover something you missed the first time around.

What did you like best about this story?

The interaction of the team. I also really enjoyed the two newest members, especially Kane.

What does Peter Jay Fernandez bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He helps with keeping the pace and brings energy to the performance.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes it made me laugh in several places because I know the characters from previous books. It also made me hold my breath more than once.

Any additional comments?

The author writes in such a way as to pull you in to the story. I always look forward to a new book by him. In fact, I have gone back and bought many of his other books before the Sigma team started. The only dismay I feel right now, is knowing I have to wait a long time for the next book!
