The authors who worked together on The Kill Switch (2014) bring back Tucker Wayne and his military dog, Kane, in another outstanding adventure. This time it's personal for Tucker as someone he used to be close to tracks him down for help. She and her colleagues are being hunted by ruthless assassins from a company that is utilizing drones for some secret purpose. The advanced weaponry system appears to be using artificial intelligence, making it even more lethal. Can Tucker and Kane stop the plot and save the day? Military and corporate worlds collide, and the two authors do a phenomenal job of making the reader think about the ramifications of employing such technology, all while keeping the pages turning. The star of the story is Kane, and everyone will want to adopt him after finishing the book. Fans of Tom Clancy, Brad Thor, or Rollins' previous titles will enjoy this, and hopefully Wayne and Kane will appear again, perhaps in the next Sigma Force title.

In this latest starring former army ranger Tucker Wayne and his military dog, Kane (after last year's The Kill Switch), our daring duo start by helping a former army colleague of Tucker's, who's on the run with her son from mysterious assassins, and end up breaking the law and spilling national secrets to stop a psycho who wants to commandeer all the resources of modern warfare.

Former Army Ranger Tucker Wayne and his canine partner, Kane, face a new state-of-the-art threat in bestseller Rollins and Blackwood's inventive sequel to 2014's The Kill Switch. Global media magnate Pruitt Kellerman seeks to destabilize political hot spots and murder those in his way with a fleet of military drones. Secret teams under his control use research stolen from famed WWII cryptanalyst Alan Turing to develop drones capable of thinking autonomously, hacking enemy computer systems, and instigating chaos with social media disinformation. Tucker leads a team of intelligence analysts who race to decrypt the drones' malicious code. The action ranges from the swamps of Alabama and New Mexico nuclear test sites to the beaches of Trinidad and the mountains of Serbia. Kane, a Belgian Malinois, is the standout character, more than just a plot device and never anthropomorphized. His point-of-view chapters reveal his loyalty, fear, intelligence, and even a desire for revenge. Kane's a good boy! Agent: Russell Galen, Scovil Galen Ghosh. (Apr.)
