Critical Acclaim

James Rollins has does it again! Tracker is a short but sweet e-only short that introduces a new dream team–Tucker and Kane. They’re more than partners–this human/canine combination has an unmistakable bond! Tucker needs to call upon every bit of Kane’s training in order to help a damsel in distress and her father.

I loved the introduction of Tucker, and seeing events unfold from Kane’s POV was a great treat! Bring on Bloodline, Mr. Rollins! And thanks for this introduction to what will hopefully be the new members of Sigma!

This story was amazing! I was really not looking forward to it, but as a fan of the author still read it since it led into the next sigma novel. Plot aside this story is all about the relationship between Tucker Wayne and his military war dog Kane. The two have become an extension of each other and the love you see between is amazing. READ THIS STORY. It is worth it.

I have read all of Rollins’ books. Tucker and Kane are my new favorite team and I want more!!! If you enjoyed this short story, you have to buy Bloodline for more Tucker and Kane action. If you have never read James Rollins before, you have just found a GOLD MINE!! He is amazingly talented and researches 24/7 to entertain his vast fan base.

— J. Boyd [Deserves More Than 5 Stars!](Reader Review)

Being a deep lover of animals, especially dogs, I truly enjoyed this short. As my review title states, I simply loved Kane and the unique voice the author gives him!

This short is an introduction to Kane and his handler, Captain Tucker, and ex-military man which sets you up nicely for their emergence in the latest Sigma Force novel, Bloodline. I hope Mr. Rollins ‘lets the dog out’ in future books. Kane and Tucker are certainly welcome additions.

— Terry Kopinak [I love Kane!](Reader Review)

This is a short story about Tucker Wayne and Kane, his service dog. It is a quick and interesting read. I learned a good deal about service dogs in this short story that made it even more interesting. I recommend it.

— Casey Wheeler [Kane - The Wonder Dog](Reader Review)

Instead of wasting a lot of time in a new Sigma series novel introducing a new character, Mr. Rollins was able to give more depth to this character, and the dog, by using the short story approach. It is a nice break from the full length novels and makes you look forward to seeing how they are going to be used in future novels.

— Fly Fisher [This was a very good way of introducing a new character into the Sigma series.](Reader Review)

WOW, what a great team they make. I’m getting the next book. This was great but I wish it were longer. Just adore the Kane, he is the model for all the working military canines. Man and dog are so in sink they can anticipate the other. Keep it up James. I want a lot more of this team.

— C. S [HOT DOG what a read](Reader Review)

I loved this. It’s about time we got to see something about a working dog in these books. Those dogs are an essential part of many ops, and there’s just no counting how many lives they’ve saved. Rollins gives a wonderful view of this particular situation from BOTH points of view, the dog’s as well as the man’s, and there aren’t many authors who can do that without sounding…contrived at best, soap-boxy at worst. He avoids both those extremes to give a believable imagining into the working of a dog’s mind. Brilliant!

— VoyagerJ [A vet and his dog](Reader Review)

James Rollins is my favorite go to author for non stop action and a great story. This short story just whets your appetite for more to come. I love how he is combining the dog team and how they work.

— Leslie S [Fast and furious!](Reader Review)

Wow! Now I know what trained dogs can do! I loved how Rollins showed some of the situations from the dogs perspective. I love how Rollins tells us the fact from the fiction at the end of his books. The science is always illuminating in his books.
