"A Russian scientist with a weapon that could wreak havoc upon the world; a chilling historical mystery; a breakneck race against time--the usual kinds of ingredients, in other words, for one of Rollins' Sigma Force novels. But this one's a bit different: it stars former Army Ranger Tucker Wayne and his working dog, Kane (introduced in Bloodline, 2012), and it spends more time than usual exploring the relationships of its lead characters. Rollins, who was a practicing veterinarian before turning to full-time writing, makes Kane, a Belgian Malinois (they look a lot like German shepherds), a fully participating character in the story, similar to the way Jonathan Maberry makes Ghost a character in the Joe Ledger novels. Coauthor Blackwood is best known for the three Fargo novels he wrote with Clive Cussler, but his solo trilogy featuring covert op Briggs Tanner, published 200103, gives him solid grounding for this novel. Fans of the Sigma Force series will definitely enjoy this one, and readers who have occasionally wished Rollins would slow down a bit and spend some time with his characters will get their wish."

This book totally intrigued me from page one all the way to the end --- Kane, a war dog, was particularly deployed as he should be with amazing talents and I adored how the authors followed through with the dogs thoughts as he carried out his given commands! Even though the book is fiction at the end the author explained where all the details came from and how in reality a lot of it was really true or based on true facts. From the Boor War off to today adventure, spies, murder, suspense! The book just had everything in it and was extremely difficult to put down! There just aren't enough stars to rate it!
