Publisher's Summary

From New York Times best-selling author James Rollins comes a stirring story of a soldier and his military war dog who are drawn into a dark mystery tracing back to World War II and a lost treasure tied to the bones of the dead.

Off the blustery streets in the medieval heart of Budapest, Captain Tucker Wayne and his war dog, Kane, rescue a mysterious woman fleeing three armed men. The secret she holds will unlock a terrible treasure, one steeped in blood and treachery, tied to a crime going back to the fall of Nazi Germany and a heritage of suffering and pain that reaches out from the past to wreak havoc today. In a final showdown in the depths of a lost cemetery, truths will be unearthed, treasures will be exposed, and the fate of all will rest upon the shoulders of one man and a dog whose courage is beyond measure.

Included within this thrilling story is a sneak peek at the opening chapters of Bloodline, in which the further exploits of Tucker and Kane will be revealed.

I'll return this ripoff!

The 86 minute short story is excellent but the 95 minute ad/preview for Bloodline is a total ripoff. I paid almost $9 for less than 1.5 hours of listening. The narrator has the perfect voice for silent movies. I'm a huge fan of the Tucker Wayne & Kane series

Rip-off

Paid $10.58 for a 1 hour 16 min. story with 2 excerpts which were effectively ads for other books. Like the characters, but hate getting taken advantage of.

The actual length was a disappointing surprise

The story was very enjoyable as all of James Rollins books are. My complaint is that the advertised length was 3 hours and 1 minute. The actual story was less than half that time. The rest was a sample of the next book (that I had already heard.). If I had known that, I wouldn't have bought it. A bit expensive for such a short story. My own fault for not looking at the reviews.

Good short story

I enjoyed the introduction of these new characters to the sigma 6 group. My only complaint is the price. Since it was so short I don't think $10 or a credit should be charged. It should be the $2.99. My only complaint

First time author

I think this might have been my first time with this author. I'm not actually sure- I might need to check. What I do know is that I broke my very important rule of not jumping into a series in the middle of said series. Audible had a huge sale a while ago and had many, many short stories and novellas on sale for like $1.00 each. Before I knew it, I had about 30 books (well, more like novellas and short stories) in my cart. And....unfortunately, I realized that a couple of the stories were novellas inside of an existing series. This was one of those.

I will be honest and say that even though this story was part of an existing series, that I was able to fall in and follow along with the story. I do have a soft spot for dog stories, so that's probably why it ended up in my cart - but the story itself made me curious to discover a little bit more information about the main characters in this story. Tucker and Kane are awesome and I would love to find out more about them.

I guess in the scheme of things....sales really do work.....

Bait and switch

The run time on this “book” is given as 3 hours. However, only one hour of it is the short story I bought. The rest of the two hours is a lengthy sample pitching the first book of a series with the short story’s characters. So I paid to have the chance to be marketed to! Show the honest length of the story. Then you can tout the two hour “bonus” as additional.

Only 1 1/2 hours of story

The short story was pretty good, the real problem is it was less than 1 1/2 hours long. the rest of the time was a teaser to get you to buy another book. pretty good scam. @ $12.00

Mostly A "Trailer" Park - Save Your Money

While I was expecting this book to be a short story, the first one was the only one to fit that bill. The remainder was a collection of clips from three books I have already read. If you are new to the Tucker Wayne character and have not read any of the books, then this is a great introduction to the series.

Dogs, guts action

Fantastic story about a soldier and his dog and Ithe love for the dog never ends. Also how the dog is so smart and protects his master

Shorter than expected.

Excellent story by my favorite author. Just didnt realize how short it would be. still it's a great way to learn about the characters.
