The Kill Switch

Autor Grant Blackwood, James Rollins
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 mai 2014
Who does the US government call upon when a mission requires perfect stealth, execution, and discretion? Meet the newest recruits to the expanding Sigma Force universe - former Army Ranger Tucker Wayne and his stalwart companion, Kane, a military working dog of exceptional abilities. The mission seems simple enough: extract a pharmaceutical magnate from Russian soil, a volatile man who holds the secret to a deadly bio-weapon. But nothing is as it appears to be.

A conspiracy of world-shattering scope unravels as Tucker and Kane struggle to keep one move ahead of their deadly enemies. From the frozen steppes of Russia to the sun-blasted mountains of South Africa and Namibia, a biological threat millions of years in the making strikes out at the heart of America. All that stands in the way from a global apocalypse: one man and his dog.

But can even Tucker and Kane thwart an ecological menace out of the ancient past to save the world's future?

Textul de pe ultima copertă

From James Rollins and Grant Blackwood comes the first in an exciting new series featuring Captain Tucker Wayne and his military dog, Kane, ripped from the pages of Sigma Force for their first solo adventure.
The mission seems simple: extract a pharmaceutical magnate with the secret to a deadly bioweapon from Russia. But nothing is as it appears to be. A desperate call from Painter Crowe, director of Sigma Force, thrusts Tucker and Kane into a race to rescue Abram Bukolov from assassins backed by a shadowy Russian general.
Hunted and betrayed at every turn, Tucker and Kane must discover the truth behind a horror out of the past that can be weaponized to terrorize the modern world. It will take all of their skill, talent, and trust in each other to discover the key to stopping an ancient peril with the power to destroy the world.
